1998. In spring, in summer
She wore corduroy pants and often a "Bush" band shirt. Her hair was always just done up with a scrunchie. Maybe a little kohl and that was it.
She -only she- could scold me so nicely " Luuuuke" with a mischievous grin and look at me almost impudently mischievous.

So we sat there 14/15-year-old on our meadow in the summer of '98, have drunk sticky iced tea, Luckies smoked and written cheesy poems. No desire to parents, school and haste not seen what else. We had us and our dreams; there on the meadow at "our " tree.

I sit in front of the "this is not a blue bottle" - bottle, sniff it, and can smell these moments, days, weeks and "they". The little forest with the ivy-covered trees, the lily of the valley at the edge of the forest, the lilac bush and all the sweet, green trades on this meadow of ours.

I was in love.
She could not love me. That's what she told me. In the summer ; back then.
The last time I saw her was in 2003. This blue bottle in my hand I love now. In February. And wait for the summer.

Good mood in a bottle ?
I bought This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 blind because I liked the notes and the idea of the This is not a Blue Bottle series. I can say right away that This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 was a successful blind purchase. Immediately after spraying it on, the good mood literally comes out of the sprayer I find this lightness with this floral and fruity combination just great. It smells simply summery and great. Individual notes I can not recognize here unfortunately so well, but what also does not really bother, because the notes harmonize perfectly with each other.

But there is also a big point of criticism: the quality of the flacon is definitely not worth the MSRP.

The lid is slightly sharp-edged, which also leads to slight detachment of the paint, which looks very unsightly.

The bottle has a minimal tendency to leak, when the bottle is on the shelf after spraying and the lid is removed again, a slightly damp rim is visible below the sprayer. This leakage is really not bad, but for me not really acceptable in this price range

The name alone is special, so is the scent!
As part of a subscription for niche fragrances I have already decided a few months ago for this fragrance of Histoires de Parfums.
The fragrance appealed to me because of a review on YouTube.
My passion for perfume has been around for a very long time, but I have only been slowly making my way in the world of niche fragrances since this year.
So the bottling of This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.2 arrived at my house and I sprayed it on my skin for the very first time. I was really really flashed!
Never before have I smelled something so special. Especially natural in the sense of special, extraordinary, insanely great...
To my nose, the scent is floral, sweet. As fresh I would not necessarily call him.
This fragrance has something very light, cheerful about it. Somehow inspiring.

Totally surprised and convinced me the durability of the fragrance. This is above average good. On my skin I get with him loose 10 hours and on the clothes I smell him even 2 days after I wore him still. Wow!
For my taste it is not a pure spring/summer fragrance. I wear it also now in autumn and on days I need a good mood certainly also in winter.

Of course, everyone can wear what he wants, but I find This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 goes clearly in the feminine direction. Can not imagine him on (m) a man.
Definitely one of the, as soon as my filling is used up, is high on my wish list

A perfect combination of freshness and powderiness - the fragrance for every occasion!
I came across the fragrance through a video by Marc Gebauer. I was still at the very beginning of the niche world and thought to myself that spending over €100 on a perfume that I hadn't even tested was a tough ask. But the fragrance This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 opens with a tangy-fresh mixture of bergamot, grapefruit and elemi, which is very positive for me. The citrusy notes dominate the first impression and give the fragrance a lightness and liveliness. I've been using the fragrance for over a year now and still enjoy smelling it today.

After a few minutes, the heart note develops, in which iris, lavender and violet form the foreground. The powdery and floral notes harmonize wonderfully with the freshness of the top note and give the fragrance an elegant touch. This interplay irritated me at first, but I now love this composition.
The base notes of ambroxan, musk and sandalwood provide a warm and creamy finish. The woody notes give the fragrance a certain depth and round off the composition perfectly. The whole interplay of the fragrance still fascinates me to this day.

For a fragrance that combines freshness and powderiness, it has moderate longevity. I can still smell the fragrance even after 5 hours. The sillage is subtle, but still perceptible. The fragrance is therefore perfect for everyday office or closed rooms. As it is not overpowering, it can also be worn by people who are not so keen on perfume.

This is not a Blue Bottle 1.2 is an ideal fragrance that has made it into my TOP10 for life. It is wonderful for those who are looking for an elegant yet fresh fragrance. It is perfect for everyday wear and the office, but also suitable for special occasions. An absolute buy recommendation from me!

This is not a laundry detergent
Remember The Body shop's White Musk Eau de Parfum ? I would call that the entry-level of white musks. Histoires de Parfums' TinaBB 1.2 has a lot more to it, of course, but in essence it is a variation on the white musk theme. It gives off a similar 'clean skin' or even more so a 'clean laundry' scent.

So, the white musk forms the heart of this perfume but it is not alone. It gets support from vanilla and sandal, so there is quite a bit of cream going on. Now add to that a lot of flowers like lilac, ylang and white florals. What you then get is no longer a plain white musk, but a colorful explosion of flowers combined with that sensation of cleanliness. This is exactly what those laundry detergents pretend to be. HdP's version is more successful but sadly I cannot let go of the association, especially in the later stages.

Interesting in the opening, the lilac could be worked out a little more finely, the Drydown unfortunately more women's deodorant

I want a bottle for the bottle, and not the scent. I had higher hopes for the fragrance, but I think I can be happy with just a decant.
