The power of fragrance is everlasting. Even better is a scent you can call your own, which, as a signature, becomes entirely evocative of your essence. Marc Jacobs believes perfume should be that. The fragrance you wear expresses self-love and authenticity and reminds us never to dull our shine. This newcomer, the fourth in the Perfect collection of scents, is named Charm. Jacobs believes, “Your charm is your power; your quirks make you perfect.” By editor Trudi Brewer.

Know as a comforting scent, it's got a classic edge with an almost savoury bite. The Perfect scents were inspired by the idea that we're all perfect, just as we are. This is significant to Jacobs, who has the word 'perfect' tattooed on his wrist. So, this new Perfect, a limited edition named Charm, continues with that mantra. Read on to find out what it smells like.
Perfect Marc Jacobs Charm Eau de Parfum, 50ml, $186.
The scent
The delectable combination of rhubarb and daffodil offers an energising summery aroma. Then, the modern almond milk, cashmeran, and cedarwood blend helps add warmth and gives this scent longevity. The bottle is dipped in a metallic shine with dazzling charms, which Jacobs chose. The artwork on the box is by New York-based artist Jacky Blue.
Why do we like it?
If you love scents that start sunny and mellow and become warm and sensual, you will love Perfect Charm. It's also a quick mood boost that's playful and wearable in any season. It's fragrance collectors must-have, but it will also make an enduring gift. Charm is a young and flirtatiously feminine scent with a hint of grown-up girl mystery.
