This is Not A Blue Bottle 1.5

1828 opens very fresh and energetic with a bright citrus burst from grapefruit, lemon and tangerine. The eucalyptus stands out right away and gives it that cool, green freshness. There’s also this airy, slightly soapy and piney feel that makes it smell super clean and refreshing. In the heart, spices start to come through. Nutmeg and pepper add a bit of warmth, but it stays light and easy to wear. The aromatic character is still very present, so it never feels heavy. As it settles, the woody side becomes more noticeable. Cedarwood and vetiver give it a dry, clean structure, while incense adds a soft smoky touch in the background. It keeps that fresh aromatic feel, just with a bit more depth. 1828 is one of those fragrances you reach for when you want something clean, fresh and put together without overthinking it. Very easy to wear and easy to like. Ig @fragrancesguru

1.5 at the gym? 1.5 by histoire de parfum is a synthetic flower bed almost to pretty to be real wich is the vibes they wanted to create by making this perfume. 1.5 is a fresh and musky perfume which feels like it was generated by A.I almost as if the assignment was making a flower based fragrance without any knowledge of what flowers look or smell like. But by only having synthetic ingredients and the idea’s of what flowers are and smell like. Now wearing it at the gym make me feel clean by also cold and unapproachable, which is the vibe I’m going for but sometimes 1.5 made me feel a bit uncomfortable and uneasy maybe it’s too clean and too perfect for the gym. However it is still a really nice perfume for everyday and all weather ! It has a good longevity and a soft personal sillage.

This is a scent made for sport related activities. It is not weak performance at all but rather after 30min-45min from the first spray, your nose becomes nose-blind to it because the musk just blend to your skin and your own body scent. Then when you playing sport / exercising, this musky scent will mix with your sweat and evaporate from the heat of your body. People around you will notice that you smell good but they can't pin point what notes exactly they are smelling but they just know "Damn you smell good". I believe that's just how a musk scent should be, like a quiet noise, it is there but it is not loud. Very enjoyable and gym/sport friendly scent.

Soapy aldehydes, very fresh, powdery floral (slightly) and musky clean. I love soapy scents and own many, and this ranks highly amongst them. Smells nothing like Jhag not a perfume imo. They're both minimalist molecule fragrances, but that's where the similarities end. This smells like you you are taking a bath with artisinal soap in a nice hotel. Super clean and perfect for scorching heat, office use, or any other casual situation where you want to smell soapy clean, but wear diffent from soap heavy houses like Prada.

This has become my go to and I will be weary once I finish my small version. It brings me in a better mood instantly. It’s very artificial but in the most elegant yet futuristic way possible. For some reason it reminds me of The Fifth Element for some reason. Most impressive on instant spray then it becomes more musky. Saving my last drops for the next summer.
