What does This is not a Blue Bottle 1.5 / Ceci n'est pas un Flacon Bleu 1.5 smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits comfortably on either.

The top holds aldehydes, citrus and ozonic notes, with Kharismal® Super and floral notes in the heart. Ambroxan, Musk T® and mineral notes anchor the base. A light sweetness and a creamy softness sit over the fresh, citrusy character, with a synthetic sheen alongside.
