Histoires de Parfums This Is Not A Blue Bottle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Gérald Ghislain and Julien Rasquinet. This Is Not A Blue Bottle opens with Orange and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Geranium and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Histoires de Parfums's This Is Not A Blue Bottle carries an Acquired verdict, an aldehydic-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. A love-it-or-hate-it enigma with a split personality - fresh and clean for some, a synthetic nightmare for others. Definitely test before you buy a full bottle.

About

Opens with a potent, almost metallic blast of aldehydes and bright orange, sharp enough to cut through the noise. This soon transitions into a surprising, honeyed heart, with a unique geranium adding a floral-spicy twist. The base settles into a musky, amber embrace with grounding patchouli, creating a complex, evolving scent profile. It's clean, yet with an industrial, abstract edge.
