About This Perfume

Think fresh sea breeze, bergamot and soft florals: that is Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Sheer. It opens with air accord, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into hibiscus, lily of the valley and orange blossom and settles on amber, musk and woods. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2019.

In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and sweet for casual days.
  • Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.

Around $29.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch is an American lifestyle retailer whose fragrance line trades on mall-era nostalgia (the Fierce era) and a modern First Instinct / Authentic pillar. The 17 live pieces on Scendira average .88, split 10 masculine / 7 feminine, and skew overwhelmingly Fresh (13 of 17), the aquatic-cool signature. Prices span $15.95-$149.99 (average $46), accessible designer band. Standout live pieces: First Instinct Together Eau de Toilette For Him ($49.46,.24, fresh citrus fruit salad with lavender), Authentic Night Homme ($44.79,.19, sweet vanilla cream with fruity apple), First Instinct Extreme ($24.95,.19, sparkling citrus gin with violet and pepper), First Instinct ($38.05,.03, cool gin-tonic spritz with musky suede) and Authentic Man ($29.03,.00, cool citrus cologne with crisp pepper and clean musk). A dependable fresh-aquatic entry for the mall-teen buyer.
