Marc Jacobs Daisy

Marc JacobsEDT

Strawberry and violet leaves over gardenia and jasmine on soft musk-vanilla — the sunny, easy classic.
Marc Jacobs Daisy

The original Daisy is still the heart of the line — a strawberry-and-violet-leaves opening over a gardenia-jasmine-and-violet heart, on a soft musk-vanilla-and-white-woods base. It's a clean, sunny floral that's cheerful without being childish, the reason the daisy-cap bottle became a starter-perfume staple.

It's light, pretty, and easy to wear anywhere, with gentle projection. At $80–$145 it's the one to start with. See the full breakdown.

Daisy Eau So Fresh

Marc JacobsEDT

Raspberry and pear over violet, litchi, and rose on clean musk — the juicier, brighter Daisy.
Daisy Eau So Fresh

Eau So Fresh is the fruitier, sparklier Daisy — a green-raspberry-pear-and-grapefruit opening over violet, litchi, and rose, on a clean musk-and-cedar base. It's brighter and juicier than the original, the most warm-weather-friendly and easygoing of the line.

It's light and cheerful, built for daytime. At $105–$145 it's the fruity, summer version of Daisy. See the full breakdown.

Daisy Love

Marc JacobsEDP

Cloudberry over daisy on soft cashmere musk and driftwood — the sweet, easy Daisy.
Daisy Love

Daisy Love is the softest, sweetest member — a sugared cloudberry note over a daisy accord, on a soft cashmere-musk-and-driftwood base. It's rounder and a touch sweeter than the fresh original, the pick when you want Daisy gentle and comforting rather than sparkling.

It stays light and daytime-friendly, best in spring and summer like the rest of the line. At $105–$180 it's the soft, sweet version of the line. See the full breakdown.

Daisy Dream

Marc JacobsEDT

Blackberry and pear over jasmine on airy coconut water and musk — the light, breezy Daisy.
Daisy Dream

Daisy Dream is the airiest, most transparent member — a blackberry-pear-and-grapefruit opening over wisteria, litchi, and jasmine, on a light musk-and-coconut-water base. It's the breeziest of the line, floaty and fresh where the original is soft-floral.

It's a light, casual summer scent. At $80–$145 it's the airy, warm-weather version of Daisy. See the full breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Marc Jacobs Daisy fragrance?

The original Daisy (2007) is still the best — the sunny strawberry-gardenia-and-musk fresh floral that made the daisy-cap bottle famous. Eau So Fresh is the fruitier, brighter version, and Daisy Love is the softest and sweetest.

What's the difference between Daisy and Daisy Eau So Fresh?

The original Daisy is a soft, sunny floral — strawberry, violet leaves, gardenia, and jasmine on musk. Eau So Fresh (2011) is fruitier and sparklier, with raspberry, pear, and litchi up top — brighter and more casual, best for warm weather. Both are easy, affordable everyday picks.

Which Marc Jacobs Daisy is best for summer?

Eau So Fresh (fruity and sparkling) and Daisy Dream (airy, with coconut water) are the best warm-weather picks — light, bright, and casual. The original is spring-to-summer too, and Daisy Love is the sweetest of the group while staying light and daytime-friendly.

Is Marc Jacobs Daisy a good first perfume?

Yes — Daisy is one of the best starter fragrances there is. It's clean, sunny, inoffensive, and affordable, with gentle projection that works for school, work, or daytime. The original or Eau So Fresh are the easiest places to start.
