Abstract Jasmine and Fruits in a Clear Base
It's been a couple of years since I first reviewed Marc Jacobs DAISY, and it's interesting to take it up again after having encountered many more recent perfumes in this same style. They differ in their sweetness, but they all focus around a clean jasminoid (hedione?) note. I'm thinking of Calvin Klein BEAUTY, Jennifer Aniston's perfume, and DKNY PURE, for starters. It's seems as though there have been many others, as well.
DAISY to me is an average designer fragrance with the now-typical abstract floral and fruity elements. The musk here does not really smell like musk, so it's nothing like NR FOR HER. Instead, it's more of a clear resinous base veering toward the acrylic side. Overall, this is not very appealing to me, but it's not really unappealing either, which is actually something given that the perfumer is Alberto "Chemical Albie" Morillas, who has signed many a scrubber in my book.
Try before you buy. It's entirely abstract, but that's the modern way, I guess. I don't really consider this to be perfume--it's a fragrance--but that's what many people apparently want these days. In addition to plastic flowers affixed to caps, or so it seems...
