Histoires de Parfums This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Luca Maffei. This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 opens with Pink Pepper and Ivy, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Lily Of The Valley, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Histoires de Parfums's This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive scent that some adore for its uplifting floral sweetness, while others dismiss it as smelling like 'baby wipes' or 'laundry detergent'. If it works with your chemistry, it's a bubbly, clean floral dream. If not, best avoid.

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean profile make it excellent for office wear and casual settings, as many reviews suggest. It's a bit too light for formal events, and while pleasant, perhaps not distinctive enough for a romantic date.

About

This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 opens with a green, slightly spicy kick from ivy and pink pepper, quickly transitioning into a lush heart of lily of the valley, lilac, and ylang-ylang creating a distinct yellow floral sweetness. The base grounds this airy bouquet with soft sandalwood, musky undertones, and a gentle vanilla, developing into a clean, creamy finish. Expect a blend of fresh florals with a subtle sugary warmth.
