Product Performance

First Perfume opens with a sparkling mix of aldehydes, peach, black currant, and citrus notes like bergamot and mandarin orange. This vibrant introduction creates a clean, slightly soapy freshness that immediately feels luxurious and bright. The fruity sweetness is softened by the crisp aldehydes, setting the tone for a fragrance that is both bold and impeccably balanced.

The heart of the fragrance is a lush garden in full bloom — featuring jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, narcissus, Turkish rose, orchid, and ylang-ylang. These floral notes come together in a rich, romantic harmony that is intensely feminine, with the narcissus and tuberose adding a creamy, heady depth. This floral tapestry is where First Perfume for Women truly shines, evoking both the softness of a bouquet and the strength of a woman’s presence.

The dry-down is luxurious and enveloping, revealing a sensual base of sandalwood, vetiver, honey, amber, civet, musk, tonka bean, and vanilla. These base notes ground the floral heart in warm, earthy sophistication. Hints of oakmoss and civet give it a slightly animalic edge, adding to its unforgettable allure. First Van Cleef and Arpels lingers gracefully, leaving behind an elegant trail that feels like fine jewelry on the skin — polished, rare, and timeless.
