First Snow

Definitely peppery on the opening, but in a pleasant way. (If you're into spicy scents, you'd appreciate it!) The ambery Bushman's candle is quite prominent all throughout the life of the fragrance. I also got a faint "citronella" scent upon first spray, but then the vanilla and guaiacwood/birch settle in. In a small way, it vaguely reminded me of mosquito sticks at first - big patio incense you can burn in the summer to keep mosquitos away. Like I said, this is a faint, familiar smell to me, but it doesn't make me dislike this perfume at all - I actually quite like it! The woods in here give it kind of a smokey vibe on me, which I dig. (Think like the Wood Wick brand candle/wax melts called "Wood Smoke" - very similar to my nose.) That being said, the sillage is poor and so is the longevity, at least in winter weather. However, it's an affordable EDP, so go ahead and be heavy-handed with it! I definitely think this perfume is unique enough to add to one's collection. :)

I really enjoyed this. I thought it was kind of a typical spicy-wintery frag, but actually there is something a little more unique and interesting about it. I think for me, these kinds of fragrances belong in the heat, it just absolutely glows and I found myself constantly catching a whiff of it throughout the day. Longevity is medium, about 4-5 hours. I 100% buying a full bottle. I think it's fantastic for the price. 8/10

so glad i blind bought this! It is so much like my favorite perfume - the one that started my obsession- Gypsy Water by Byredo. I hope this one lasts longer. I adore this!

An unusual minimalist fragrance that trends masculine, FS takes a while to reveal its charms. There's a lot of juniper in the opening mixed with some citrus and whatever a bushman's candle is. The black pepper note is there but it's not overwhelming, and vanilla pulls the whole composition together. Sillage is very moderate, lasting power is quite good. This one's a skin scent, perfectly worksafe and unisex, too. Imagine a peaceful forest in winter, snow crunching as you make your way past junipers laden with beautiful aromatic berries. Pick up a berry and smell it - that's first snow, as pure and simple as it gets.

Yeah, this fragrance is wonderful. It opens up an a clean peppery note, and then it expands into a wonderful juniper/forest fragrance. If you want to smell like the sound of a leaf crunching on the floor of a peaceful winter forest, then this frag is for you. It doesn’t last very long on me, but for a fragrance this price, that’s okay. I think this is a unisex scent. I highly encourage people to buy the whole collection—all of them are very evocative of specific memories. They are all worth a smell.
