Histoires de Parfums - This Is Not A Blue Bottle

An olfactive library of scents to be read on skin, Histoires de Parfums tells stories of famous characters, raw materials and iconic years through the deluxe medium of scent.

This Is Not A Blue Bottle forges a brand-new sweet, spicy, and cool path, blending shimmering aldehydes with mentholated geranium and golden honey in the heart, and densely-textured patchouli tones in the base. This inspired combination of velvety smooth sweetness and intense spice breaks new ground in aromatic scents.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Citrusy-sweet, brightly acidic orange oil adds a happy Vitamin C overload to any fragrance. Orange is also the ultimate team player in perfume: it will go with anything as its many different forms can blend well. Mandarin orange, green mandarin, bitter orange, blood orange, Sicilian orange are all variations on this juicy, joyous note. Sweeter notes like mandarin and blood orange work best with florals and spices, while bitter orange, green mandarin, and Sicilian orange are fantastic with aromatics like basil, nutmeg, etc. Orange’s cheerful energy, no matter if it’s sweet, bitter, or spicy, is wearable year-round without hesitation.

    Wasn’t for me

    Gross
    Kind of odd that Scentbird does not specify which version of this is not a blue bottle you will be receiving. The photo on the app shows the 1/.4 version, however what is actually sent is the 1/.1 version which smells totally different (and is in just a solid blue bottle w/o the white pattern). Very deceiving. This fragrance smells very chemically and strong, burned my nose just smelling it on my wrist. I gagged immediately. The geranium and aldehyde are all I pick up on, it basically smells like burning metal. Would not recommend, I was scrubbing this off my arm for 10 minutes.

    This is not a blue bottle
    It smells great and I’d order more of this,but it didn’t last very well. Within the first hour I couldn’t smell it anymore. If it lasted longer I would have given five stars.
