Histoires de Parfums This is not a Blue Bottle 1.6 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Sylvie Jourdet. This is not a Blue Bottle 1.6 opens with Orange, Grapefruit, and Yuzu, settles into a heart of Neroli, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Histoires de Parfums's This is not a Blue Bottle 1.6 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This citrus-floral blend is a proper mixed bag. Some reckon it's a stellar, natural-smelling stunner, while others find it a weak, boring, or overly bitter affair. You'll either love how it sparkles or hate its green, sharp edges - definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, energetic citrus and floral accords make it an excellent pick for casual wear and suitable for office environments where a strong projection is avoided. Although some find it to have strong projection, its general character and average longevity don't lend themselves to formal events or intimate dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A vibrant blast of yuzu, grapefruit, and orange kicks things off, delivering a sharp and juicy citrus punch. This exhilarating opening soon blossoms into a heart of bright white florals - think neroli, jasmine, and orange blossom - with a touch of geranium adding green depth. A soft, clean base of musk and vetiver grounds the composition, with a barely-there whisper of vanilla adding a subtle roundness.
