Smell borne in a rural vacation. Antidepressant giving a journey to serenity. It's all about Daisy from the perfume house Marc Jacobs.
Notes
These perfumes belong to the group of aromas of floral woody-musky. The name Daisy in translation means "camomile", "daisy". Therefore, at first it seems that everything will be predictable, that is, after several zilchs, the smell of these flowers will spread. But, surprisingly, this does not happen, Daisy smells completely different.
If broken down by notes, then at the beginning are grapefruit, strawberries and a leaf of violets, in the heart are gardenia, violet and jasmine. By the way, violet is not so often found in perfumery works, and here it is like the main character of the whole action.
The base is represented by white wood, musk and vanilla.
Disclosure
This women's perfume is very well “tailored”, everything is accurate in the dosage of components, as if in a pharmacy, there is nothing superfluous and have not gone too far: if it is violet, then it does not suffocate, if it is white flowers, then without dope. And if it seems during the first test that there is too much musk, then as soon as the smell "sits", it is immediately clear that it was necessary.
There is an interesting paradox here: those who do not know the composition of the pyramid can hardly single out individual notes, but the final result more than suits them. When testing, many say: “I don’t know what it smells like, but I like the smell.” What the manufacturers sought.
The main audible notes are a leaf of violet, grapefruit and strawberry, and they also lie on top of the entire pyramid of the composition. Daisy Marc Jacobs - energetic and soothing at the same time. Bitter citruses invigorate, strawberries add a bit of sweetness, and violet - this is the same floral "diphenhydramine", it gives a sense of peace. It is interesting that jasmine and gardenia - the notes themselves are quite persistent and pronounced - are somehow lost, they are almost inaudible.
But the smell itself is quite harmonious, it sounds even chords, without any special overflows. This makes him cozy, cute, maybe even a little naive. If you compare it with a piece of music, then here you can hardly separate the chorus from the verse, if any. In other words, Daisy does not have a flashy and dominant note. Therefore, these perfumes can be the backdrop for some olfactory fantasies. And here they are.
Associations
Each smell creates a certain image in the minds of those who smell it, and this directly affects whether the aroma will be liked or not. So, for some, Daisy is associated with the morning of a hot summer day, when the smells still fragrant with the freshness of the night and are not muffled by heat, when dragonflies fly and grasshoppers chatter.
This smell helps to imagine yourself among the field grasses in the meadow at the beginning of the weekend, when you don’t have to rush anywhere, and there’s a whole life ahead. I would like to wear a floral chiffon dress and go on a date.
For others, this perfume is associated with a tender girl with a bouquet of violets in a honey hay.
Such summer associations suggest that Daisy Marc Jacobs warms, it does not have coolness, but there is warmth.
The target audience
Due to some lightness and girlish naivety, this smell is attributed only to a certain age category - from 15 to 25 years. But one cannot be dogmatic in this matter. If a forty-year-old woman, in her prime, who cannot stand heavy smells, wants to exude a fragrant violet, then who is entitled to throw a stone at her? Moreover, there is no frivolous teenage sweetness.
Of course, such a female perfume is usually chosen by natures prone to romance, dreamers and adventurers beyond age. But still, the majority of those who would put their “likes” under Daisy are young girls under 20 who prefer a feminine style in clothes.
Durability
Frankly, it is not too big, the smell lasts about three hours, then it needs to be updated. But this is not at all due to poor quality, but because the main audible components, especially citrus fruits and strawberries, have very high volatility. But Daisy Marc Jacobs has such an interesting feature: even after the aroma has completely calmed down, it reappears, as if nothing had happened. Also (which is also very surprising) on natural clothes, he keeps right up to the wash.
A separate word about the design of the bottle
Many did not like this decision. This whole chamomile theme will cheapen the perfume itself and immediately make it teenage, they say. Well, by the way, the dissonance of the form and content of the bottle is not entirely clear, in other words: where does the huge rubber daisy have to do with it, if it’s not there? At least a violet would be depicted on the lid - then it would be more or less logical. But you will not please everyone.
And for some, soft daisies look cute, and even when there is not even a drop of perfume in the bottle, it flaunts on the dressing table as an element of decor, and it is deserved. No wonder he received an award from the FiFi Awards for the best packaging of women's perfumes in 2008, which is equivalent to an Oscar in the world of perfumery.
Flankers
This is a variation of the fragrance with any change, published in a limited edition. The mere fact of the appearance of flankers suggests that the fragrance caught many, since it makes no sense to release edited copies of something that has not become popular.
So, seven years after the release of Daisy Marc Jacobs, perfumer Frank Foekl created a light version of this fragrance called Daisy Delight, shifting the emphasis towards fruit (quince, apple), and removing the violet completely.
Also not less famous was Daisy Intense Marc Jacobs. It differs from its “parent” in the first place by its concentration, as well as by its original design: daisies were covered with gold, and the bottle was made black.
There are many more variations on the theme, apparently, the perfume house liked to exploit the image of daisy-daisies. This is Daisy Hot Pink, and Daisy Sunshine, and Daisy Pop Art Edition, and many others.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Reviews
Some users complain of a little resistance, and constantly updating the smell is uneconomical. There are also those who claim that it is slurred and spineless, they say it smells kind of nice, but after the smell disappears, it is difficult to remember and describe. It is true that the adjective "extraordinary" to these spirits does not apply. But it’s also impossible to name absolutely “no” and faceless.
Those who liked the light sound of Daisy will call it good simple, unobtrusive, feminine, tender. A separate advantage of this characteristic is that these perfumes are perfect as a gift. Perhaps they will not be received with wild enthusiasm, but they simply cannot dislike.
Perfume Daisy Marc Jacobs: price
This piece of floral happiness costs a lot. So how much should you give for 50 ml of Daisy Marc Jacobs? The price is not sky-high, but not everyone can afford it. It should be noted that the pristine "daisy" is only available in EDT concentration, and therefore costs less, but its equally famous flanker Daisy Intense Marc Jacobs - this is EDP, and then you have to fork out.
So, Daisy Marc Jacobs toilet water in a volume of 50 ml will cost 2500 rubles, and 100 ml will cost more than 4000 rubles. And the price of 50 ml of the aforementioned “chamomile” in a black bottle is 5500 rubles.
The whole essence of this perfume can be expressed with one epithet - spiritual. This is the fragrance of the first June evenings, a summer wedding and a quiet cozy house in the village.
