First (for women)

falovalo

Get it off me!!! Get it off me!!! I don't like this at all. It's pungent and matronly. I've smelled better things at the dollar store. Just a mess of different flowers and every note they could think of.

i have had this perfume a couple of times, it isnt an absolute favourite, but i would consider buying it again.it is a grown-up, classy sort of smell, makes me think of the groups of expensive "shopping-ladies" that used to waft by in the cosmetic departments of department stores when i was a child in the 60's, types in fur coats and pearls. nice to wear in early spring.

I liked it many years ago, it seems it was an easy to wear, quite classy scent..will give it a try soon!

I hate this scent. I have tested in perfumery, it's a scent poor and disgusting. I think those flowers are very bad, really :/

This is one of my favorites! I have been wearing it for many years now. But I have to savour the essence of this wonderful scent. I can only wear it when I feel the most feminine and alluring to men. It is not an everyday office type of fragrance for me. I think it's too elegant. But I absolutely LOVE it!!!!

Very classic, sophisticated and particular; I loved to smell it on my mother and redecovered this perfume recently.

A richly warm and complex floral, First is such a hidden gem for me. It evoked many images: old world French perfumeries, an older, sophisticated woman dressed in a beautiful suit, or the smell of one’s skin after emerging from a warm bath, having washed with an exquisitely scented, finely milled soap and the lightest dusting of powder. This last image was what surprised me the most. I do not like soapy fragrances. Or powdery ones for that matter. The ones I do like with those notes are few. They have to be soft notes which complement the other notes, whether they be gourmand or floral. And this is how it works in First, and exceptionally so. It has a creamy clean sort of soapiness. And it’s just so, so smooth, which makes it wonderful to wear in winter.
I find First’s notes a little difficult to define and describe, besides the words: rich, opulent, and sumptuous. Initially, it reminded me of Arpege and Chanel No. 5, but not as overpowering as those two can be on my skin. First is not overpowering on me, as long as I only spray it once. Within the top notes, I mainly notice the bergamot and a tartish blackcurrant bud. The florals are a wonderful meld, pure and light with that gently soapy and powderiness, due to being mixed with the aldehydes. I detect jasmine and a touch of dry carnation. The base notes provide the most beautiful warmth.

First gets into me…I can smell it when I turn my head, a lovely soft haze around me, like being wrapped in soft, warm cashmere.

PS: I’m guessing I must have gotten an older bottle, I fortunately note no stale or buttery smell in mine.

I really love the floral top note, and the grassy hint in the middle notes.
But I'm afraid the base/drydown is a little too earthy for my taste. Reminds me of old incense.

This was created by one of the great perfumers, Jean-Claude Elléna, and seems to be inspired by Chamade. The freshness and vivacity of hyacinth and narcissus are warmed with sandalwood and vetiver in this first perfume of the jewellery company. First has a tender freshness and comes in a very original bottle. It is vibrant and unlike many other creations from the Seventies, it is very well-behaved and ladylike. A perfect scent for all elegant women!

golden

I tried this on for the first time in years. I do remeber it being nice back then and of course it was everything i remembered it to be.
Elegant, beautiful, refined, classy , chic. This perfume defines what a really beautiful perfume really is. With it's sparkling top notes which then die down to a warm sumptious subtle awakining of subtle musk. It smells very expensive and i have to admit is now one of my favourites.

randoka

Hardcore 80s ... but so pungently floral and gorgeous! I have very fond memories of this scent, and who knows -- maybe I'll return to it when I'm a distinguished older woman!

a bit vintage

I wore this in the 80's and I was always swept back to 5th Avenue when I wore it. It just reminded me of wealth. I've sampled it recently tho', and thought it smelled like 'OLD'? Maybe it was old, or maybe my tastes have really changed?

First was my first "first class" perfume and it will be always in my top 10. It is a seductive fresh floral fragrance.
