The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Carolina Herrera and crafted by perfumers Caroline Dumur and Dominique Ropion, Me First is a scent that embodies modern elegance. The fragrance opens with the bright burst of litchi, adding a fruity freshness to its composition. This top note gives way to the heart of Turkish rose and cardamom, creating an aromatic warmth that's both spicy and floral. The base notes of cedar and sandalwood ground the composition in woody comfort, making Me First a fragrance that seamlessly transitions from day to night.

How to wear it

Apply Me First in light layers — it blooms quickly with a strong fruity top note that fades into its warm heart within two hours. The woody base notes will carry you through the evening, so one or two sprays are sufficient for lasting elegance.
