Sweet and Fresh Kumquat
When Summer is at its peak, fruity and fresh scents, such as Marc Jacobs' Kumquat Splash, are incredibly popular. It's not hard to see why. Coming from a dry and hot climate myself, I often struggle to find something to wear on such days. Thankfully these tropical inspired perfumes from Marc Jacobs are light and easy to wear.
I can't say that I've ever tasted kumquat. From what I've read so far, this citrus is popularly used in jams. To my nose, it smells similar to a juicy, sweet and tangy orange.
I often shy from wearing citrus-based scents as they don't blend too well with my chemistry. This fragrance is a little different. It's sweet rather than sour or sharp, and sits lightly on the skin. I would call it quite inoffensive and crisp.
Marc Jacobs Kumquat is not a fragrance that anyone would find particularly outstanding, but it sure is refreshing. The longevity isn't half bad either.
Thankfully Marc Jacobs has released this perfume in a 100ml bottle, shaped somewhat like a cube. These sizes are far more practical than the massive, brick-like 300ml bottles of which this series was known for. I've recently seen Marc Jacobs Kumquat on sale in my area, so I suggest that you grab a bargain while you still can.
