Which Should You Buy?
A perfectly pleasant amber-floral with a tropical kick that's sadly let down by fleeting performance. It's affordable, mass-appealing, and generally well-liked by those who prefer simple, sweet scents, but don't expect it to last.
Compiled from Yardley's own product notes (part of the Contemporary Florals Eau de Toilette collection) and retailer listings (Amazon.co.uk, Boots): a sweet mandarin-peach-pear-ylang ylang opening over an orange blossom-orchid heart, closing on musk, vanilla and amber - a sweet, delectable white floral.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its light sillage and poor longevity often noted by reviewers, First Instinct for Her is best suited for casual settings or the office where it won't overpower. Its gentle, sweet nature makes it approachable for everyday wear rather than formal events or energetic sport.
Seasons
The sweet, vanilla-forward base and warm floral heart give this a cosy character best suited to cooler autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
The sweet, indulgent vanilla-floral character suits dates and casual wear well, but is a less deliberate choice for the office given its sweetness.
