Yuzu, vibrating with the tartness of grapefruit and the sweetness of mandarin, embraces feel-good orange blossom. Nuzzly neroli and musks make wearing this feel like falling in love in an orchard of citrus trees.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent for close conversation in bright daylight, when the air still holds a little warmth and the room feels open rather than formal. It projects a clean, optimistic presence: citrus peel, soft blossom and a musky skin-like finish that reads intimate, not loud.
How to wear
Best in spring and mild summer weather, where its yuzu, grapefruit and neroli can stay crisp without turning sharp. Wear it with a light hand for a soft, luminous trail, or add an extra spray if you want the musks and vetiver to linger more clearly on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like citrus done with polish: bright, fresh, slightly floral and quietly sensual. It will appeal to people who enjoy clean musks, airy white florals and fragrances that feel modern, transparent and easy to live with.

The nose
Gérald Ghislain is the founder and creative force behind Histoires de Parfums, guiding the house as a storyteller rather than a traditional brief-driven brand owner. His approach favors poetic concepts, layered references and fragrances that read like chapters, and this citrus-floral composition fits that abstract, narrative style. Rather than assigning a named perfumer to this release, the house presents the scent as part of Ghislain’s broader creative vision: modern, expressive and deliberately non-literal. That makes the fragrance feel less like a formula-led exercise and more like a conceptual scene, built to unfold on skin with a clear emotional arc.
Collaborators
Gérald Ghislain shaped the concept and creative direction as the brand’s founder and fragrance author, overseeing the abstract, story-led framework of the series while working with perfumers behind the scenes. The result is a fragrance built around his poetic brief rather than a prominently credited individual co-author.
Histoires de Parfums’s story
Histoires de Parfums treats perfume as an olfactive library, using scent to evoke characters, poems, music and imagined histories. The house balances romance with modernity, favoring expressive compositions and literary, sometimes playful storytelling over conventional luxury codes.
This is Not a Blue Bottle 1/.6 – Love’s concept
This fragrance belongs to the This is Not a Blue Bottle series, introduced in 2016 as a more abstract chapter in the house’s story-driven universe. 1/.6, released in 2020, translates the series’ blue, art-led identity into a citrus-floral idea centered on love, sunlight and the image of green souls falling in love beneath citrus trees.
Extra info
It is the sixth installment in Histoires de Parfums’ This is Not a Blue Bottle series. The house describes it as the perfume of love, and its imagery leans on citrus trees, orange blossom and the quote “The Earth is blue like an Orange.”
