What does First Instinct Woman smell like?

The scent is bright and fruity: passion fruit and grapefruit zest give it lift, while orange blossom, magnolia and butterfly orchid shape the floral side. Amber and tonka bean settle it into a sweet, creamy, slightly powdery base, with a gourmand touch kept in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. It reads feminine, with many also calling it modern. Zadig & Voltaire Girls Can Do Anything and Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Glacé have a close profile.
