Founders of First Crush
The new generation of Kannauj — where every fragrance begins with a feeling.
Founded by Riya Tiwari and Harsh Gupta, First Crush is the story of two dreamers from Kannauj —
India’s perfume capital — who believe that scent is more than just fragrance; it’s how we remember, connect, and express ourselves.
For Riya, perfume has always been about emotion — that first spark, that fleeting memory you wish you could hold onto.
For Harsh, it’s about presence — the quiet power of a first impression, the unspoken story a scent can tell before words do.
Together, they created First Crush as a way to blend those ideas — emotion and impression, heart and identity.
Each perfume is crafted with the heritage of Kannauj’s timeless artistry, but designed for today’s world
— effortless, expressive, and deeply personal.
Because a first crush isn’t just about love. It’s about the moment someone or something
leaves an unforgettable impression — and that’s exactly what every scent here is meant to do.
