What was the name of Tommy Hilfiger's first women's fragrance?

Tommy Hilfiger’s first women’s fragrance was Tommy Girl.

Tommy Girl debuted in 1996, the same period that Hilfiger expanded decisively into women’s fashion. The fragrance was positioned as youthful, energetic and distinctly American rather than as a formal luxury perfume. Its launch accompanied the Tommy Girl clothing line and helped extend Hilfiger’s preppy sportswear identity into beauty and personal style.

The scent is generally described as a fresh floral fragrance with bright citrus and fruity opening notes. Its listed notes include mandarin, blackcurrant and apple blossom, followed by floral elements such as honeysuckle, violet and magnolia, with woods and other warm notes in the base. Perfumer Calice Becker created the composition.

The name can cause confusion because Hilfiger also released a men’s fragrance called Tommy in 1995. Tommy Girl was the women’s counterpart and came later, in 1996. It should not be confused with True Star, a separate Hilfiger fragrance released in 2004 and associated with Beyoncé Knowles.
