First Apple in the Pure Summer Collection
First Apple Eau de Parfum is an eau de parfum by To Summer | 观夏, released in 2026.
The fragrance is part of the Pure Summer collection and reflects the brand’s signature interest in Eastern poetry, images of nature, and emotional stories told through the language of scent.
The name First Apple evokes a juicy, cool, slightly crisp fruity accord, but the composition goes beyond simple sweetness.
Here, the freshness of green apple meets exotic guava, sun-warmed peach, translucent florals, and a soft amber-musk base.
The Fragrance’s Character and Mood
First Apple is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so it can be chosen by both women and men, guided above all by their personal response to the composition.
It will appeal to those who enjoy fruity-floral fragrances with noticeable freshness, a distinctive sillage, and a smooth transition from a radiant opening to a warm finish.
In the first few minutes, the fragrance smells bright and juicy: green apple creates the impression of a cool, freshly bitten fruit, while guava and peach add a soft tropical sweetness.
Clary sage balances the fruity accord with herbal freshness and keeps the scent from becoming cloying.
As it develops, First Apple becomes airier and more floral.
Neroli brings sunny citrus transparency, sambac jasmine adds creamy white-floral richness, and May rose softens the composition with a delicate romantic nuance.
Sillage and Lasting Impression
The fragrance is stated to have very strong sillage, so First Apple can make a noticeable presence in its surroundings and leave behind a distinctive fruity-floral cloud.
It is especially expressive outdoors, in spacious rooms, and in cool weather, when its juicy and ambery facets unfold with greater volume.
In the base, the composition becomes warmer and softer: amber adds depth and a subtle glow, while musk supports its clean, velvety character.
As a result, the bright fruity opening gradually develops into a more seductive and enveloping finish.
The Perfumer and the Brand’s Style
First Apple was created by perfumer David Huang.
His work is built around the contrast between fresh fruits, aromatic nuances, and an expressive floral heart, which makes the composition feel juicy, luminous, and rich all at once.
This release continues the approach characteristic of To Summer | 观夏: transforming impressions of nature into an emotional perfumery image.
First Apple may appeal to fans of the fruity-floral genre. For similar fragrances to compare, consider Donna Karan DKNY Stories Eau de Toilette, Jill Stuart Night Jewel, and Boadicea the Victorious Solar.
In terms of mood, it may also recall Donna Karan DKNY Stories Eau de Toilette, while retaining its own focus on green apple, guava, and strong sillage.
