VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
FIRST

Van Cleef & Arpels First opens with a vibrant burst of fruitiness, where the juicy notes of peach and raspberry intermingle with the zesty brightness of mandarin orange and bergamot. This initial sweetness is complemented by a touch of black currant and a subtle aldehydic sparkle, creating an inviting first impression. As it evolves, the heart reveals a lush floral bouquet, where tuberose and jasmine take center stage, flanked by the delicate nuances of lily-of-the-valley, orris root, and Turkish rose. This floral richness settles into a warm, slightly resinous base of vanilla, honey, and sandalwood, enriched by the earthiness of vetiver and the sensuality of musk. First is an ideal choice for the modern woman who appreciates a versatile fragrance that transitions seamlessly from day to night. Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for both casual outings and more formal occasions. Best worn in the spring and fall, this fragrance strikes a balance between freshness and warmth, making it a standout option in the floral category. If you’re seeking a signature scent that’s both sophisticated and approachable, First is certainly worth considering for your collection-especially if you enjoy the refined elegance found in fragrances like Chanel No. 5.
