Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Julien Rasquinet. This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7 opens with Pink Pepper, Ozonic Notes, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Sandalwood. Histoires de Parfums's This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7 carries an Acquired verdict, a textural-led wear.

This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.7 is a polarising scent, hailed by some as a quirky, magnetic masterpiece and dismissed by others as smelling like gas station hand soap. It's a bold collision of tropical brightness and a darker, more synthetic edge.

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

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its strong projection and unique, potentially divisive character make it less suitable for office or formal wear. However, its intriguing nature and tropical notes lend themselves well to casual and date settings, though some find it too overpowering for very hot weather.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

An unusual blend that opens with a clash of creamy coconut and bright ozonic notes, spiced with a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a heady bouquet of frangipani, rose, and lily of the valley, while a prominent leather accord, musk, and creamy sandalwood anchor the base. It’s a strange, intriguing interplay between sun-drenched tropics and something distinctly synthetic and grounded.
