A seasonal twist on what has become the go-to fragrance for millions, Marc Jacobs Daisy is a classic. Since its launch in 2007, this fragrance has constantly reinvented and refreshed its offering, keeping its original promise of being a summery floral. This trio includes three scents for collectors: Daisy Paradise, Eau So Fresh Paradise, and Love Paradise. Each is dressed in shades of pink and purple inspired by blooming flowers; the synthetic ingredients are a nod to the growing demand for sustainable fragrance-making and were created with lush landscapes in mind. Each is bright, joyful and comforting. Read on to decide which one you want the most.
MARC JACOBS DAISY EAU SO FRESH PARADISE EDT, $124.
What does it smell like?
The blend of pink pepper elevates the calming lavender, a spicy combination that you may think sounds opposing, but it brings a classic duality to this fragrance. Finally, the clever synthetic ‘Attar Mitti Naturprint’ adds what is described as the smell of fresh earth after heavy rain, which brings airy freshness to this beauty - out of the trio, I think this one is my favourite.
MARC JACOBS DAISY LOVE PARADISE EDT, 50ml, $119.
What does it smell like?
This will be your pick if you love a musky floral. Blended beautifully rich patchouli with delicate musky iris, this scent has a mouth-watering honey-like quality. Sweet but not sickly, thanks to the synthetic chantilly accord, be prepared for strangers to stop and ask you what you’re wearing.
MARC JACOBS DAISY PARADISE EDT, 50ML, $108.
What does it smell like?
Daisy lovers, this is the scent in the collection to wrap you in the comforting aroma of Natureprint poppy, where scientists have recreated the musky scent of this flower without damaging the bloom. The blend of oak and synthetic ambrox offers an amber-like quality that helps it to linger for hours.
Why do I like this collection?
What’s not to like about Marc Jacobs Daisy? This collection, like many before, is sweetly scented and leaves your skin with a clean aroma. Each has the staying power you would expect from a luxury designer scent. I'd wear any of the three fragrances daily, in any season. I’ve long gravitated towards bright florals, and these limited edition scents are wonderfully addictive; you won't want to stop wearing them - I promise.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
