It’s so exciting to get a look at the fragrances worn by the protagonist of this documentary – the English model, author and LGBTQIA+ rights activist April Ashley.

One of them is First by Van Cleef & Arpels, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 1976.

The others are classic fragrances by Guerlain, housed in the contemporary spray version of the historical flacon bouchon coeur. Ashley wore L’Heure Bleue and Mitsouko, both created by Jacques Guerlain and launched in the 1910s (1912 and 1919 respectively).
