What do reviewers say about This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 and Sunshine Man?
This one divides people on the sweetness. Some catch a cola-note from the benzoin and tonka interplay, warm, almost gourmand. Others get the herb first, the bitter edge that artemisia brings.This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4
A warm-weather gem that smells expensive without trying too hard. The immortelle and vanilla combo is unexpected and works beautifully, though the performance leans moderate rather than beast mode.Sunshine Man
