Created in 2016 by Phillippe Romano for Abercrombie & Fitch, First Instinct is an oriental-inspired fougère for the man with the confidence and strength to be vulnerable. The fresh, crisp top notes of a gin-and-tonic accord combined with melon are sweetened and spiced by middle notes of violet leaves, citrus, and Szechuan pepper, and then warmed by animalic base notes of suede, musk, and amber.
