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.

Are you the kind of person who loves sweet AND spicy scents?
The amber note is an accord made from benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, styrax, and other sweetly resinous single notes.

It’s not quite sweet, and not quite spicy, but something in between. Amber gives perfume a warm, sweet, sensual feel that fans of both spicy and gourmand styles will love.

    Wasn’t for me
    Took a flyer on this but just didn’t hit right. Description is pretty accurate though.

    too much patchouli
    I dislike patchouli very much and this is heavy on patchouli. smells like grandpa's cologne.

    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.
