Marc Jacobs Daisy Notes Breakdown

Marc Jacobs Daisy opens with Strawberry, Violet Leaves and Blood Grapefruit — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Gardenia, Violet and Jasmine. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Musk, Vanilla and White Wood.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Floral, Fresh, Fruity, Musky — easy to place and easy to wear.
