The Story
First Instinct Bold is a confident, modern fragrance that turns up the heat on the original. It opens with a burst of spicy pink pepper and fresh grapefruit, then settles into a warm, leathery heart with a touch of lavender. The base is a rich blend of amber, tonka bean, and suede, giving it a bold, long-lasting presence. It's the kind of scent that makes you stand a little taller.
