First Instinct Sheer

by Jean-Marc Chaillan , Céline Barel

Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Sheer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jean-Marc Chaillan and Céline Barel. First Instinct Sheer opens with Fresh, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Orange Blossom, and Hibiscus, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Amber. Abercrombie & Fitch's First Instinct Sheer carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A divisive scent for sure. It's either a sun-drenched, white floral clean girl vibe recalling Y2K summers, or a chemical floral mess that smells like grandma's attic. If you like orange blossom and don't mind a 'sunscreen' accord, you might just love it.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its sheer, clean character and moderate performance make it an excellent choice for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. The summery, beachy vibe doesn't quite fit formal events, and while fresh, its 'lotion' quality keeps it from being a top pick for sport.

About

Opening with a fresh hit of bergamot and a hint of pink pepper, this scent quickly moves into a heart dominated by luminous orange blossom, supported by sweet lily of the valley and a touch of hibiscus. The base settles into a soft, sheer musk intertwined with warm amber and subtle woody notes, giving it that characteristic 'sunscreen' creaminess.
