The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, First Love by Victoria's Secret is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of new beginnings. Perfumer Nathalie Benareau crafted this composition around a bright and fresh violet leaf top note, which gives way to the delicate sweetness of lily-of-the-valley at its heart. The base note of musk adds a subtle warmth, grounding the overall scent in a sense of comfort and familiarity. First Love is designed to evoke the joy and simplicity of those initial moments when everything feels new and exciting.
First Love blooms best when applied to pulse points and left to develop naturally. The violet leaf top note is fleeting but impactful, so don't be tempted to layer too heavily — one or two sprays will allow the musky base notes to emerge gradually throughout the day.
