A tropical-inspired scent in the middle of winter was just the pick-me-up I needed, says editor Trudi Brewer. Here she shares the latest from designer darling Marc Jacobs.

What’s in it?
If there was ever a scent that reminded me of my trips to the beautiful island of O’ahu in Hawaii, this is it. Pineapple, mango and a dash of mandarin orange. Drenched with orange blossom and rose water, these heady island-inspired scents are boosted by the base of cashmere wood.

Why do we like it?
As much as I love the feeling of the sun on my skin, sometimes a summer-inspired fragrance is the next best thing. So when this new Daisy arrived, it helped me resist the temptation to book a trip and helped ward off that feeling of SAD (seasonal affective disorder). The lineup of cocktail-inspired ingredients and the pretty packaging have satisfied my urge to have FOMO seeing all those Instagram posts of women sunning themselves somewhere exotic. Thank you, Marc Jacobs, for reminding me how fragrance can lift my mood and transport me to somewhere fabulous while wearing my puffer jacket and woolly socks.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
