This men's fragrance from 2016 opens with gin & tonic and melon. A chilled glass. Juicy fruit. A bit like the opening scene of a summer series where everyone wears way too cool sunglasses and has just a little too little self-awareness.
Perfumer Philippe Romano has made it easy to wear, yet with a clear concept. It’s fresh air, bare skin, and a smile that says: “I just stopped by.” Yes, absolutely. We believe you.
At the top, there’s gin & tonic and kiwano, a melon-like fruit with a green, juicy feel. This gives the scent a bright start. Fresh. Young. Slightly bubbly.
Then comes the heart with Sichuan pepper, violet leaf, and citrus. The pepper adds a little sting. The violet leaf makes the scent green and clean. Citrus lifts everything, like a white shirt in the sun.
The base is softer. Suede, musk, and amber make it warm, smooth, and more masculine. It never shouts. It leans in closer.
Much better.

First Instinct is a fragrance for men. It clearly leans toward the classic masculine, but in a clean and fruity way. Think less heavy suit. More shower, sneakers, sun-warmed neck, and a brunch that’s running late.
It suits you who want to smell fresh without feeling stiff. It fits school, work, gym, and dates. It also works for the beach, vacation, and evenings that start calm and then get a little wild in just the right way.
And yes, it smells especially good after the shower.
Wear it in spring and summer. Preferably during the day. It thrives in light, warmth, and movement.
The longevity is moderate for an eau de toilette. Expect a fresh start, a distinct first phase, and then a softer scent close to the skin. The projection is lively at first. The sillage is moderate, leaving a clean trail without taking over the room.
It’s the kind of scent that says: “I’ve got this.”
Even when you have three percent battery left.
