This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.3

by Julien Rasquinet

Histoires de Parfums This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.3 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Julien Rasquinet. This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.3 opens with Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Rose and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leather and Patchouli. Histoires de Parfums's This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.3 carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher and surprisingly divisive. Some find it a sexy rose-leather, an edgy and modern take, while others get a musty closet or synthetic mess. Definitely sample first.

Its potent projection and distinct leather-rose character suggest it's more suited for evening or cooler weather, rather than the office. Many find it 'sexy' and 'intimate' making it excellent for dates, and while some wear it casually, its punchy nature leans away from regular daytime wear.

About

This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.3 kicks off with a metallic blood orange that quickly blends into a rich, spicy heart of saffron and rose. The base settles into a prominent yet polished leather, underscored by an earthy patchouli. Expect a modern, often synthetic-leaning interpretation where warmth and an airy metallic touch mingle.
