A luminous amber floral with a playful gourmand accent, First Instinct for Her opens with a juicy pop of passionfruit and grapefruit brushed with the creamy lift of magnolia, then eases into a velvety heart of butterfly orchid and orange blossom. As it settles, tonka bean and amber create a soft, enveloping trail that feels modern, flirty, and effortlessly wearable from brunch to late evening.

Story and Positioning
Introduced as the feminine counterpart to the First Instinct line, this edition blends radiant fruit and creamy florals over a warm tonka amber base for an inviting signature that reads youthful yet polished. It later anchored a series of follow ups including First Instinct Blue in 2018, First Instinct Sheer in 2019, and First Instinct Together in 2020. Fans often place it near bright sweet florals like Flowerbomb Eau de Toilette for its plush, feel good aura.
Bottle and Design
A slender oval flacon with a gentle wave pressed along one side reveals a pale blush pink tone. A smooth rose gold cap sits over a centered atomizer, and a small metal nameplate in the same warm finish anchors the front. The soft curves feel comfortable in the hand, the thicker base keeps it steady on a shelf, and the minimal branding leaves the bottle looking airy and feminine.
