Marc Jacobs

Daisy

“Strawberry fields and white flowers — spring in a daisy-capped bottle.”

Marc Jacobs Daisy
white floral
ozonic
powdery

Marc Jacobs's 2007 fashion-house breakthrough by Alberto Morillas — a white-floral and violet composition with strawberry on the top and a musky-woody drydown. The bottle with daisies on the cap became as recognizable as the scent itself. Wears strongest in spring and summer, daytime.

  • ●The college-starter fragrance that ages surprisingly well

Trade-offs
