First Instinct Sheer

First Instinct Sheer is a light, clean, and fresh fragrance that evokes sunny summer days and a soapy-floral cleanliness. It opens with bergamot, pink pepper, and a mountain air accord that gives an effervescent, slightly spicy freshness. The heart is dominated by orange blossom, hibiscus, and lily-of-the-valley, creating a warm, slightly sticky floral that some describe as reminiscent of high-end hair spray or sunscreen. The base of musk, woody notes, and amber gives subtle depth and warmth, making it feel more cohesive than its initial sweet, chemical-sounding impression might suggest. The scent is most effective on warm skin, where it reveals its breezy, halo-like presence. It lingers briefly (moderate longevity), requires reapplication, and projects moderately (4 feet sillage), best suited for daytime, spring/summer wear.
