This fragrance is a prism refracting light into a splash of colors. A beam of ivy, lilac and lily of the valley illuminates a sandalwood and white musk milky way.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
There is a sunlit, open-window quality to 1/.2: green leaves and lilac bring brightness, while its milky woody base keeps the mood gentle. It suits an unhurried afternoon spent in close conversation, with a presence that feels softly expressive rather than formal.
How to wear
Spring and mild temperatures suit the balance of leafy freshness and creamy sweetness. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, allowing the floral opening to settle against skin. In warmer weather, apply lightly so the vanilla and sandalwood remain a soft backdrop to the flowers.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy lilac and lily-of-the-valley florals with a green edge, but prefer a creamy, gently sweet finish to a sharply crisp one. Its white musk and sandalwood will appeal to lovers of soft textures and luminous floral compositions.

The nose
Luca Maffei is an Italian perfumer associated with Atelier Fragranze Milano and contemporary independent perfumery. His work balances clearly defined accords with nuanced floral and woody textures. In 1/.2, green leaves and springlike flowers give the composition its brightness, while sandalwood, vanilla and white musk provide a softer, creamy counterweight.
Histoires de Parfums’s story
Histoires de Parfums approaches fragrance as an olfactory library, translating historical figures, significant years, poetry and music into compositions to be read on the skin. Founded by Gérald Ghislain, the house combines French perfumery with an appetite for imaginative storytelling; its numbered blue-bottle collection extends that approach into abstraction.
This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1/.2 – Light’s concept
1/.2 translates light passing through a prism into fragrance: green ivy and pale flowers illuminate a milky background of sandalwood and white musk. The collection’s name references René Magritte’s The Treachery of Images, inviting a distinction between an object and its representation. Launched alongside 1/.3, the perfume of fire, 1/.2 explores light as its contrasting theme.
Extra info
“Light” names the perfume’s concept, not a lighter concentration: 1/.2 is an eau de parfum. Despite its numerical name, its official imagery is a splash of color, expressing the idea of light refracted through a prism.
