Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6 ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 26 June 2020 11 Comments

French niche line Histoires de Parfums has launched This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6, a unisex follow-up to 2016's This is Not a Blue Bottle.

Green souls fall in love in the shade of Citrus trees. Your laughter exhales a song of Yuzu zests and my kisses flutter, white, like petals of Neroli – as they rest on your Grapefruit lips. Red. The pulp of my fingers run along your Jasmine neck, I drink the blue seas of your eyes and the smell of your smiles. There is a heat, a whiff of Vanilla, of two bodies entwined in a shape of White Musks. Hypnotic Lotus and dilated pupils, there comes from my fingers like a moan of Geranium, a desire to taste you like a sip of Orange juice. Green. I waft towards you on the wings of your skin-of-clouds. “Words do not lie”. There is no end to me.

This is a blue planet, juicy like an Orange whence Lotus and Orange Blossom spring like seaspray. A haze of White Musks and tropics of Neroli shape a continent of Vanilla deserts.

Additional notes for the citrus floral include vetiver.

Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6 is available in 15, 60 and 120 ml Eau de Parfum.

    This line of naming and marketing is for people far cleverer than myself.

      Ditto!! But it’s a yuzu-centered citrus floral and I love the citrus floral they did for Colette, so I do want to try this one even though I ignored the first 5 in the series.

        What is the citrus floral that they did for Colette?

          Had to look it up…1873. It’s actually a citrus gourmand.

    I can’t get over the ad copy. Will have to listen to my geraniums more closely for moaning.

    This reminds me of my teenage years and the Victor Vasarely posters that were all the rage. The op-art vega ones. A continent of vanilla deserts is now on my bucket list!
