What does This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 / Ceci n'est pas un Flacon Bleu 1.2 smell like?

It opens with ivy and pink pepper, green with a light spice. The heart of lily of the valley, ylang-ylang and lilac forms a floral frame. It dries down to sandalwood, vanilla and white musk, turning powdery, creamy and slightly sweet, with fruity and synthetic touches among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Feminine leads the character votes, though a fair share call it masculine.
