First Instinct Blue For Her

First Instinct Blue for Her by Abercrombie & Fitch delivers a distinctive evolution from a sharp, salty opening to a warm, woody, sweet drydown. The initial burst of salt and ozone feels aquatic and bright, like a cool sea mist, but quickly transforms into something deeper and more complex. It features a blend of fruity notes—blackberry, apricot—paired with patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla, creating a layered, creamy-sweet effect that becomes increasingly intimate as it settles. The scent develops with a surprising softness and warmth that some users describe as resembling creme brulee or salted caramel, while others note its similarity to a men's cologne due to its patchouli and woody backbone. The fragrance is particularly well-received in warmer months, showing best during spring and summer. Despite its reputation for light sillage and moderate longevity, some users report it lasting successfully for several hours, especially when applied generously.
