This is Not a Blue Bottle 1/.5 EdP

The all-synthetic composition is what drew me in, and it delivers a clean, modern edge that feels totally unique. It wears close to the skin for hours, which I love for an office day.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a scent built entirely out of synthetic notes, but it’s surprisingly clean and modern—nothing cloying. The 1/5 size is perfect for my bag, and it lasts well into the evening without shouting.

The all-synthetic composition is a fascinating twist, and it wears unlike anything else in my collection. It’s been two weeks, and the sillage still gets me a compliment every time I wear it out.
