This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4

by Sylvie Jourdet , Gérald Ghislain

Histoires de Parfums This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sylvie Jourdet and Gérald Ghislain. This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 opens with Lavender, Artemisia, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Benzoin, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Patchouli, and Opoponax. Histoires de Parfums's This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a unique spiced amber, a Christmas cake in a bottle. Others think it's a nasty concoction of curry and toilet cleaner. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its sweet and spicy nature, which some find strong and others subtle, leans it away from being an ideal office scent. It could work for a date night, bringing a unique, intriguing aura, but it's probably too polarising for many formal events.

About

This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 opens with an unexpected fruity, herbal sweetness, thanks to lavender, artemisia, and cardamom. It settles into a warm, amber heart of benzoin and tonka, with the yellow floral lift of ylang-ylang creating a complex, candy-like quality. The base offers a resinous, earthy finish with labdanum, patchouli, and opoponax.
