First for Women by Van Cleef & Arpels

I smelled this perfume for the first time about two months ago when I was at a birthday party. My neighbor was wearing it and when I smelled it, it reminded me of a perfume that I wore when I was in high school. This perfume smells so good!

Fabulous fragrance

First perfume gift set. For 26 years this is my fragrance of choice. A great blend of florals and sort of musk. The fragrance lingers. Finally the lotion is available again after 10 years. I'm going to order 3 more sets be for October 2016.

Well balanced and wearable all year, all day

This is the perfume I've worn for the longest time - over 20 years - coming back to it time and again after trying others. Its been overtaken by Palomo Picasso as my favourite but I still love it and, unlike Palomo, its not so strong that I find it overpowering in the summer.

Van Cleef & Arpels First

When FIRST came into my life, the other few perfumes I had used (seasonally,time of day, for an event) were gradually sidelined. At last FIRST seemed to have become my very own fragrance, and that, was a first!

All time favourite

I have been wearing this on and off for years and never get tired of it. It is a beautiful pure floral smell but with a very sophisticated edge. I always get compliments. This a genuine bargain.

Good price for a great perfume

Classic fragrance. Better now than what I remember wearing when I was younger. A woman's perfume. Not a perfume to wear for the office but definitely any other time
