In Taoist philosophy, the concept of Yin and Yang is i of simultaneous contrast and integration, of complementarity and opposition, represented by dark and lite, moon and dominicus, concept and thing. As Histoires de Parfums describes it: "every chemical element in the universe has its ain opposite: feminine-masculine, day-night, fire-h2o, natural-synthetic…Yin & Yang are two complementary forces that are interdependent on one some other. They are two aspects of the same reality."
Histoires de Parfums Gerald Ghislain
And indeed, This is Not a Bluish Bottle i.4 and one.v, the newest iterations of Creative Director Gerald Ghislain'southward "This is Not a Blue Bottle" serial, each represent a distinctively dissimilar style and apply of ingredients. Not only do the 2 fragrances dissimilarity with each other, they have an internal yin and yang. Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Blue Canteen i.4 and 1.5 are fabricated up of niggling contradictions, notes that merge and part before jutting up against each other and receding in ripples.
Yin Yang by Cristina Mirzakhanian©
"On the bare leaf glued to the inner back embrace I drew the double curve within the circle, and blacked the yin one-half of the symbol, then pushed it back to my companion.'Do you know that sign?' He looked at information technology a long fourth dimension with a strange await, merely he said, 'No.' 'It's found on Earth, and on Hain-Davenant, and on Chiffewar. Information technology is yin and yang. Low-cal is the left paw of darkness… how did it go? Calorie-free, dark. Fright, courage. Common cold, warmth. Female person, male person. Information technology is yourself, Therem. Both and 1. A shadow on snow.'" ― Ursula One thousand. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

With its dreamy, purple-grey lushness,one.iv is perfumer Sylvie Jourdet'due south rendering of yin, which is composed of 100 percent natural ingredients. This is Non a Bluish Canteen one.4 is fruit only at the tipping point of over-ripeness mulled with sweet spice and soaked in resins. Jourdet brilliantly captures the coolness of yin in the opening. That anisic, rain-soaked olfactory property that lavender has on a spring morning time, with hints of soil and pine, breathes out of the canteen. At the aforementioned time, a strange combination of notes, as unsettlingly lovely as a minor cardinal tin can be. Cardamom, with its charcoal-forest sweetness, curls effectually the lavender and softens it into a charcoal smudginess.

And then come the ripe fruit smells; the sleepy syrup of davana, with its overripe tree fruit, and fleshy ylang. Pairing the chilly, spruce-tree smell of lavender with the assistant-butter sweet of ylang is inspired. As This is Not a Bluish Bottle i.4 warms on the skin, the resins surface like oil pigment on water, and yin begins to beckon to yang. Sweetness and savory notes play off each other, while the cool of the lavender brushes up against the hint of sweat brought by labdanum. The damp leaf of patchouli and cool crushed lavander, the smells of plants grown under a shy sun, juxtapose and merge with the warm spice and richness of the resins, creating an internal ebb and flow of cool-warm, masculine-feminine, earthly and lunar. Notes: Davana, lavender, cardamom, ylang-ylang, tonka bean, benzoin, labdanum, patchouli and opoponax.

If you smell Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.5, equally soon as 1.4 finishes her trajectory, it is as momentarily startling every bit listening to Philip Drinking glass right after Ravel. After the earthiness of ane.iv, at that place is starkness in the absence of familiar, notes. one.5 an oblique contrast; a perfume created entirely of synthetic molecules, hinting at ideas of nature rather than nature itself. This is the apotheosis of Yang, with its unflinching brightness. In the hands of perfumer Luca Maffei, This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.5 is a fragrance of waking, newness, contradiction; the glare of sun on a cold winter landscape.

Aldehydes spark the opening like a friction match confronting flint: an precipitous, brilliant flare that is held in identify by some quick-arriving lemon-petit grain citrus. Ambroxan, a assuming, vetiver-like molecule, can get high-handed with other notes, but here is balanced past mineral notes that enter in alongside it. The consequence of This is Non a Bluish Bottle1.5 at this signal is dichotomous: the aldehydes continue their glinting sunlight chorus, while the conjoining aromas of mineral, ozonic notes and ambroxan, suggest h2o over stone. Maffei cleverly brings the contrast of heat and arctic in a mirror-image reverse of 1.4, the cool notes emerging gradually after the intense radiance of the opening. Notes: aldehydes, citruses, ozonic notes, ambroxan, musk T, karismal super, floral fantasy, ambroxan and mineral notes.

Both Histoires de Parfums This is Not a Bluish Canteen 1.4 and 1.5 reflect and comprehend each other in subtle means. The floral, spiced fecundity of 1.4 suggests scents of things warmed and ripened nether the sun. With its contrasting solar, mineral and bounding main notes, 1.5 alludes to the tides, drawing their move from the moon. And it is fascinating to layer them. Spray 1.iv on superlative of 1.v, and the fruit note sharpens with citrus and becomes less roundly feminine, the cardamom asserting itself in tandem with ambroxan, sweetness muted. Reverse the guild, and i.5 becomes an angular fruity-spice odour, spikes of citrus and aldehyde piercing the sweetness and, unexpectedly, heightening the labdanum, becoming more female. Taken separately, each perfume holds a looking glass to the other, but is complete by itself. Just together they unite their contrasting elements into something harmoniously lovely. They go an olfactory apotheosis of yin and yang.
