What does This is not a Blue Bottle 1.6 / Ceci n'est pas un Flacon Bleu 1.6 smell like?

A bright opening of yuzu, grapefruit and orange moves into a floral heart of geranium, lotus, jasmine, neroli and orange blossom. The base of vanilla, vetiver and white musk sweetens it slightly and gives it a warm footing. Fruity and spicy tones sit among the accords, with a synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure and daily wear leading and office use also possible. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it doesn't lean either way. Histoires de Parfums 1873 and Mugler Cologne have a close profile.
