Gender:

Female

Segment:

Lux perfumes

Fragrance information:

First Love Shirley May — a 2009 fragrance that needs no introduction. A feminine fragrance from the fruit and floral families. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.

The sillage is very delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. The birthplace of this fragrance — the United Arab Emirates, a place with a refined nose. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Perfume information

The scent of First Love unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Shirley May is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Amber enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.

In the first seconds you sense vibrant berry top notes: Apple, Blackcurrant, Citrus accord and Strawberry.

In the heart you detect Freesia, Jasmine, Raspberry, Rose and Sweet Pea keeping a harmonious floral direction.

From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Fruit, Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Ambery, Wood and Musk.

Taken together First Love holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.

Persistence

The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage

Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Gender

This scale depicts gender focus and demonstrates how the brand positions the fragrance - as masculine, feminine or universal.

On the skin

The optimum amount of atomisation on the skin is the balance at which the fragrance reveals itself in its entirety and sounds its best.

Where is the best place to apply the fragrance?

The best places to apply a fragrance are the areas where it will reveal itself most fully and create the most vivid impression.

On clothing

The optimum amount of atomisation of the fragrance on clothes, at which it reveals the best quality of the fragrance.

Associations

Effect

Fragrances can attract attention and evoke positive emotions, others can leave neutral, and others can cause negative associations and repel people.

Intensity

The intensity of a fragrance is like its ‘volume’, the degree of intensity and strength with which it is felt around you or on the surface.

Packaging quality

Perfume bottle packaging quality is about protection and aesthetic appeal, including strength, reliability, design and materials. High quality ensures the safety and security of the product, a good first impression and attractiveness
