When you\u2019re first getting into perfume, one of the first\nquestions that comes up is \u201cAre synthetic perfumes not as\nauthentic\/long-lasting\/well-made as all-natural ones?\u201d  And the answer is that synthetic fragrances\nare every bit as compelling and complex as their all-natural siblings in the scented\nworld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, synthetic perfumes are getting a lot of\nlong-overdue attention, especially in the indie perfume scene.  There are fragrances that are made entirely\nfrom a single synthetic musk note, and new fantasy aroma chemicals are being\nintroduced each month that expand a true connoisseur\u2019s fragrance palate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite niche lines championing this newfound discovery of synthetic vs. all-natural scents is Histoires des Parfums<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Their This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.4 \u201cYin\u201d and 1.5 \u201cYang\u201d releases celebrate the creativity involved in crafting both synthetic and natural perfumes in these two bookended fragrances.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.4<\/em><\/strong><\/a> \u201cYin\u201d is the all-natural fragrance in the pair.  Yin is an all-natural, rich, and very sweet (in the best possible way) mix of cool, hazy davana, sultry ylang-ylang, and the smoky vanillic appeal of opoponax.  This blend will instantly appeal to perfume fans searching for a perfume that\u2019s both unusual and unapologetically sensual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Yin\u2019s alter-ego, This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.5<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, or \u201cYang\u201d, is every bit as futuristic and next-gen as Yin is sensual and soft. It conjures sheer musk and hard metal, frozen air and warming skin from the first spray with a blend of ozonic accords and aldehydes<\/a>. Yang is the scent of a sleek starship reaching hyperspace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these scents together (one on each wrist, maybe?) are an excellent introduction to what both natural and synthetic perfumes are all about.  There\u2019s really no reason not to have several of each in your collection \u2013 wearing perfume is about fashion without limits, and sampling both of these Histoires des Parfums releases will break down your fragrance barriers in the funnest way possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
