Is it true one of these was the first fragrance ever to feature a "semen" accord?
Yes, ASCENT, originally released in 2010, features a "semen" accord,
although it wasn't our aim to shock, per se, but instead to expand the notion of what an acceptable accord in modern perfumery.

The "semen" accord was an integral part of creator Rad Hourani's concept of capturing the cycle of life in one breath via the accords semen, baby powder, leather, and frankincense which represent conception of life, infancy, comfortable middle-age, and funereal death, respectively.
