The Gate Fragrances Paris First Sight is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel. First Sight opens with Citrus, Green, Lemon, and Pear, settles into a heart of Black Elder and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar.

This perfume is a fresh, clean scent that's a bit inoffensive for its price point. It works as a pleasant daily driver but doesn't quite stand out from the crowd.

About

First Sight opens with a vibrant burst of bright citrus and tangy lemon, underpinned by a green, leafy freshness that's invigorating. As it settles, the aromatic heart of sage brings a subtle herbaceous earthiness, complementing the initial zest without overwhelming it. The base evolves into a clean, smooth musk with a hint of dry cedar, leaving a polished and fresh skin scent.
