The first time.

There’s something deeply appealing about that idea: no matter the experience, it makes us smile — wistfully.

But First by MiN isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about delight.
Sweet, airy, slightly provocative notes: this is more like your first carnival.
Hints of cotton candy and roasted pistachios dance in the air under neon lights.

Patchouli brings a gentle bitterness, echoed by labdanum — after all, first times are serious matters too, aren’t they?
And then the rose — oh, the rose! — with its clean, bright touch that lifts the fragrance above mere indulgence and into elegance.

The perfumer (whoever they are) pulled off a rare feat here: an elegant, innovative gourmand.
A fragrance made for the fairground it portrays — somewhere between the bearded lady and the sword swallower.

My current fav

Its an absolutely stunning fragrance that took me by surprise in the best way possible. The top notes of rock sugar and gourmand sweetness immediately capture your attention, offering a sugary, deliciously comforting opening. As it settles , the heart notes of rose, and rose syrup create a warm , floral bouquet that's both sweet and elegant. Its the kind of fragrance that feels both indulgent and perfect for special occasions or when you want to feel extra special. I am absolutely hooked its unique and memorable scent that has become a favorite..!

The Fragrance with Too Little Attention

I don't understand why this fragrance receives so little attention, but perhaps that's a good thing, as it gives this scent a high recognition value.

I tried the fragrance in one of the most exclusive perfumeries in Zurich and bought it right away. When I got home, I naturally checked Parfumo to see if my purchase was wise or if I had made a mistake. However, when I bought the fragrance, it was brand new and had no reviews yet.

So I waited and checked again now. I see a rating of 8.1. Is this rating legitimate?

Not really. It is a beautiful sweet scent that you don't often smell in this composition. It has a high recognition value, and that's what makes this fragrance so good.

I own almost 60 fragrances, mostly sweet ones, but none have a strong resemblance to this scent. You can smell the sweet gourmand sugar note with a subtle rose that lightly, but really only very lightly, rounds it off with freshness.
The only thing I can criticize about this fragrance is the sillage. It is not overpowering but rather subtle, making it a good scent to impress in the intimate zone on a date.

I have received many compliments for this fragrance, and no one has ever complained that it is too overpowering. Truly a very successful scent, even for people who don't want to smell like everyone else.

P.S. It is a unisex fragrance; I see it as somewhat masculine, but women can also wear it well on cold days.

Rose comes through
Sometimes like hairspray
Sometimes like stale beer
Always shows her artistic heart
After 7 hours
It fades away
Becomes 08/15 gourmand#
