First Instinct Blue Cologne by Abercrombie & Fitch, Designed by master perfumer Yves Cassar, First Instinct Blue is an aromatic fougere cologne for men that was released in 2018. The fragrance opens with fresh and invigorating top notes of crisp apple, zesty bergamot, and warm spicy cardamom. The middle notes consist of calm and alluring lavender, herbal rosemary, and spicy pepper at the heart of the fragrance. Rich sandalwood, warm amber, and the vanilla-cherry-almond reminiscent tonka bean make up the base notes for a solid finish.
