A symphony of synthetics creates the airiest cloud of billowy aldehydes and ozonic florals. Soft, solar, sensuous.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A white cotton shirt warmed by sunlight, with no desire to dress the moment up. The aldehydic airiness and pale mineral texture suit an unhurried afternoon in close company: a restrained presence, softened by musk rather than sweetened or made dramatic.
How to wear
The transparent floral-mineral profile lends itself to spring and summer, especially mild warmth. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving space for the airy aldehydes and soft musky warmth. For the house’s intended Yin–Yang contrast, try layering lightly with 1/.4.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to abstract florals, mineral textures and understated woody musks rather than recognisable bouquets or sweetness. Its deliberately synthetic construction will appeal to wearers who enjoy contemporary, pared-back perfumery with a soft, solar character.

Histoires de Parfums’s story
Histoires de Parfums approaches fragrance as an olfactory library, telling stories through people, dates, poetry and music. Founded by Gérald Ghislain, the house combines French perfumery expertise with creative freedom; its Blue Bottle collection turns that storytelling toward abstraction and the possibilities of scent itself.
This is Not a Blue Bottle 1/.5 – Yang’s concept
Created as the synthetic Yang counterpart to the natural Yin of 1/.4, this fragrance translates its concept into solar, airy and mineral effects. The pair presents natural and synthetic perfumery as complementary creative languages. The collection’s name draws on René Magritte’s The Treachery of Images, exploring the distance between an object and what it evokes.
Extra info
The official heart notes are named Karismal Super and Floral Fantasy, underscoring the fragrance’s abstract construction. Its exclusively synthetic concept refers to the fragrant materials, not the entire liquid: the formula also contains alcohol and water.
