What does First Sight (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes split closely between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably in between.

The opening is cool with cocktail, lemonade and citrus fruits, the pear sorbet softening it with a little sweetness. In the heart, elderberry and elderflower meet sage, pushing the scent towards green and spicy. Cedarwood and musk leave a soft, woody base. Parfums de Marly Greenley and Clean Citron Fig have a close profile.
