Lively and fresh, First is a luminous floral built around the perfumer's love of jasmine. Hedione, derived from the green-floral note found in natural jasmine, enhances the transparency. Hedione was first used in Eau Sauvage, but in First it is used at ten times that strength. A little carnation gives a warm, clove tint. The base is discreet and woody; a tender fragrance.
