The dawning of a new energy, embodied by a clean and lean leather and patchouli. A blood orange sun rises over rose and saffron’s blazing circle, liberating leather’s endless power.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A brisk late afternoon, still carrying the energy of the working day: blood orange gives the opening a bright edge, while rose, saffron and lean leather suggest a more deliberate pace. It suits a composed presence in close conversation, warm without turning plush or sweet.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin in mild or cool weather, letting the orange opening lead into the leather-patchouli base. Cooler air suits its warm contrast; in hotter conditions, apply lightly so the rose and saffron do not crowd the citrus brightness.
Who it’s for
For those who like leather with a clean, streamlined character rather than an overtly smoky treatment. It will appeal to wearers drawn to bright citrus against earthy patchouli, with rose and saffron adding warmth without making the composition purely floral.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet is known for atmospheric compositions that give woods, leather and spices a distinctive emotional texture. His work includes Russian Tea for Masque Milano and Iris Cendré for Naomi Goodsir. In 1/.3, he interprets fire through the contrast of luminous blood orange, rose and saffron against leather and patchouli.
Collaborators
Gérald Ghislain served as creative director for 1/.3, overseeing its place within the abstract Blue Bottle collection and its fire-themed creative framework.
Histoires de Parfums’s story
Histoires de Parfums approaches perfumery as an olfactory library, telling stories through historical personalities, significant years, poetry and music. Founded by Gérald Ghislain, the house combines French perfumery craftsmanship with freedom of inspiration; Blue Bottle moves that storytelling into a more abstract, emotionally driven register.
This is Not a Blue Bottle 1/.3 – Fire’s concept
Introduced alongside the light-themed 1/.2, 1/.3 translates fire into a composition of blood orange, rose, saffron, leather and patchouli. Its imagery is a rising orange sun above a blazing floral ring, rather than a literal burning landscape. The collection’s name draws on René Magritte’s distinction between an object and its representation.
Extra info
“Fire” is the fragrance’s conceptual designation, not a separate edition. Its official name is styled 1/.3, though databases often shorten it to 1.3. Despite the fire imagery, neither smoke nor incense appears in the official note pyramid.
