What does This is not a Blue Bottle 1.4 / Ceci n'est pas un Flacon Bleu 1.4 smell like?

The top notes are cardamom, davana and lavender, giving a spicy, lightly aromatic start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, benzoin and tonka bean soften the floral sweetness. The base of labdanum, patchouli and opoponax dries down resinous, woody and oriental.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it is chosen most often for leisure and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits comfortably on either. Parfums de Marly Oajan and Téo Cabanel Alahine have a close profile.
