First Spring

First Spring by the German brand Birkholz, released in 2017, is a light floral with a soft woody frame and touches of fruit, musk and citrus. It is shared and can be worn by anyone.

The opening is fresh and gently sweet: lemon brings a clean citrus zing, apple blossom a delicate, slightly green floral note and peach a soft, velvety fruitiness. In the heart, freesia adds an airy, peppery-sweet freshness and jasmine a richer floral glow, keeping the bouquet bright rather than heavy. The base turns calm and woody, with cedar giving a dry, pencil-like woodiness, sandalwood a creamy smoothness and musk a clean, skin-like softness.

True to its name, it feels like a spring morning: cheerful, uncomplicated and easy to wear. It suits daytime, the office, weekend walks and warmer weather, and appeals to those who want a pretty floral with a gentle woody finish rather than a strong or sweet statement scent.
