First Kiss Exclusive is a richly sweet, powdery fragrance with prominent vanilla, lychee, and incense accords, presenting a creamy, fruity sweetness that leans toward the synthetic in its initial spray. The opening is sharp and chemical, often described as smoky, medicinal, or reminiscent of stale smoke, but it settles into a softly glowing, skin-scented dry down that lingers through the day. It has strong sillage and excellent longevity—referred to as lasting 10+ hours on skin and up to 16+ on clothing—making it noticeable even at a distance. The fragrance harmonizes well with layered scents like Stars by Jimmy Choo or warm rose-based perfumes, softening their intensity. It’s particularly praised in cooler months, where the fruitiness and balsamic warmth feel most cohesive. While not identical to Parfums de Marly’s Delina Exclusif, it closely mirrors its core character, with some noting a slightly sharper, more incense-forward profile and less balance in the dry down compared to the original.
