Daisy Ever So Fresh Marc Jacobs 2022

I'm shocked this doesn't have higher reviews and I can only assume it just means this new fragrance hasn't been fully discovered yet.

The opening is fresh, sweet and juicy. The notes of pineapple, orange and mango come through beautifully in a way that is not overly sweet nor is it obnoxiously synthetic. It's well balanced.

I tested probably 30+ fragrances in the mall and this was my favorite. I wore a spritz out of the store and once I got home, my mom immediately commented on how lovely my perfume was. I may need a full bottle for spring/summer.

Personal: 6.5/10 – I don’t hate it, which isn't a surprise. I usually am fine with bright, fruity freshies, but orange blossom and I don't always jive, and here is a good example of it.
Mass appeal: 9/10 – This is extremely likable. Bright, juicy, fruits and soft florals are hard to dislike, even if they’re not exciting. It's about as happy of a perfume as exists.
Performance: 7/10 – Better than most fruity-floral freshies. It sticks around longer than you’d expect for something this sunny, owed entirely to its effervescent synthetic fruit notes.
Value: 6.5/10 – Designer pricing for a fragrance that smells nice but doesn’t really do much. Fair, but not compelling, unless you really love this DNA. Like, this one specifically.
Uniqueness: 5.5/10 – You’ve smelled this DNA before. Bright fruits, gentle florals, clean musk. Nothing new here save for a slightly more tropical approach to designer fruity florals.

SCORE: 69/100

Full bottle buy? NO, pleasant, but I’d never reach for this often enough to justify owning it.
Blind buy? YES, very safe if you like fruity, tropical, HAPPY, easygoing scents.
Recommend? YES, especially for someone who wants something bright, youthful, and effortlessly pleasant, though not very creative, nor awe inspiring.
Date night? YES, casual, daytime, low-pressure dates. Not seductive, just nice for hot weather.
Office safe? YES, clean, friendly, and completely non-threatening. Just beware if one of your coworkers has a juicer, they might come after you if you wear this.

Pros: Bright and cheerful, very mass appealing, easy to wear, better longevity than expected
Cons: Generic fruity-floral DNA, lacks depth, not memorable, somewhat boring save for its tropical twist.

I'm no stranger to the fruity floral designer DNA. Often it's done with some random assortment of berries or fruits, some flowers (usually either a white floral [tuberose] or pink floral [rose]), musks to give the impression of complexity, and if you're lucky, some sandalwood to give it a real base outside of dried down syrup. Daisy Ever So Fresh, however, is somewhat distinctive. It still follows the general outline of a fruity-floral-musk, but here the overly generic fruits are replaced with tropical, summery fruits, like mango, pineapple, and orange. That makes it unique enough that, to me, it earns a respectable place in the designer lineup of Marc Jacobs. It's not revolutionary, but it's unique enough that I think anyone will enjoy it. It's also completely unsurprising, and lends itself well as a blindly bought gift to someone who loves summer, or to oneself, as long as you like summer.

"Wow, your smoothie smells so good! Oh... that's your perfume??"

Review #169 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant

Musky fruity summer frag
I feel like I've been sleeping on this one, just thinking of it as a generic designer, but it's pretty nice. It's got the scratchy musk of the original Daisy fragrance with the addition of more florals and fruit notes. Mango seems a stretch, but maybe pineapple? It's not so much memorable as it is good when you're in a mood for something fruity. Although, I do have to admit that it's a little headachy for me. So, I can't overdo it.

When I saw that Marc Jacobs had released a mango variant, I just had to order it right away.
I love fruity scents and was hoping for a sweet mango, and that's exactly what I got.
I don't smell much of the floral notes here, which I actually find good.
For anyone who loves fruity sweet mango, this is a new favorite. It has landed directly in my top 3!
I also find the strength and longevity really good here.

Girls, you really have to love it "sweet," please rename "ever so fresh" to "ever so sweet." Do you know the pineapple in Haribo Tropicale? That's exactly how the opening is, then pure mango, it goes slightly in the direction of Armani Code pour Femme Eau de Parfum regarding the orange blossom. Rose water added so that it does justice to the look of the bottle, and there you have a fruity sweet summer fragrance. I see it more for the slightly younger generation, but no matter how old you are... If you love summer and pineapple or mango notes, you should add it to your collection. Personally, I've always struggled with mango scents; they all had that overripe note, and I don't even like to eat my mango that way. Probably because I'm a pineapple fan, and here this fruit is the most present for me, it can stay.
