What does This is not a Blue Bottle 1.1 / Ceci n'est pas un Flacon Bleu 1.1 smell like?
Orange and aldehydes give the top a bright, clean start. In the heart, geranium and honey add a floral, sweet softness. Musk, amber and patchouli form a woody, lightly spicy base. Overall it reads fresh, fruity and a little synthetic.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. Most voters find it masculine, though a good share call it feminine.
