The flutter of a first crush. Bright and sweet at first, then deeper than you expected.
The Scent
First Love opens with juicy pear and a breath of lavender over Earl Grey tea, fresh and a little nervous, like the first hello. Soon it softens into lily and rose, warmed by a sip of rum. Over the hours it settles into a glowing base of agarwood, saffron, benzoin and frankincense, warm and resinous and close to the skin.
The Collection
First Love comes from Journal, a perfume house from Thailand that pairs traditional and modern perfumery. This is the parfum (extrait) concentration, the brand’s richest, made with mostly natural ingredients on a coconut-oil base, with natural frankincense to help it last.
Notes
- Top: Pear, lavender, Earl Grey tea
- Heart: Lily, rum, rose
- Base: Agarwood (oud), benzoin, saffron, frankincense
Who It’s For
It’s for you if you love florals with a bit of mystery: a soft rose-and-tea scent that turns warm and smoky as the day goes on. Wear it on date nights, at slow dinners and in cool evenings, whenever you feel a little sentimental. It suits anyone, but if you only like light, airy florals, the oud and incense drydown may be more than you want.
Performance
As a parfum it wears well. Expect around eight hours, with a noticeable opening that settles into a close, warm trail after the first hour or so.
Authenticity
This is genuine Journal perfume, brand new in its box, sourced by Aussie Discount Fragrance and shipped from our Sydney stock.
