Fizzy Energy - a strange name for a perfume! Nevertheless, the "well, let's say Eau de Toilette" ended up in my shopping basket at DM last Saturday.
Why? Because it was 30 degrees and I was in the mood for something refreshing. And because I was probably bubbling over with energy after all that bronzer testing ;)
Well, it doesn't really help to philosophize about theories, but the scent is so unremarkable that I need to fill the page a bit ;)
Anyway, I’ll keep it short: Fizzy Energy is a nice summer splash, just lightly citrusy and perhaps not so "stone-like," but rather sweet-citrusy-fresh.
Perfect for a quick spritz on hot days or after sports, and due to the unbeatable price, it can also be stored in several bottles in different handbags. However, you can't expect high longevity; it's just too light for that.

But if you don't buy the Fizzy, you haven't missed out on anything ;)

Finally, I treated myself to it! :)

After circling around it for so long, first Golden Light Wood for the softer variant due to the fragrance notes, and then Cristal Creek Wood for what I felt was the more suitable variant of the woodies, I am glad I did not regret this blind purchase.

I already thought I would like it, as I am a big fan of Dsquared2 fragrances, and even though I haven't sniffed or tested it in any perfume store so far, I am simply thrilled and head over heels…

But enough of my enthusiasm, back to the scent (experience! ;)):

She Wood starts off quite pungent in the top notes, and the woody note is immediately present.
However, I find the wood note rather soft and not sharp. For anyone who might be a bit cautious with woody notes, I can reassure you that it does not smell like old oak or a barn! ;)
Rather, it’s like a walk in the early morning through the forest, you can smell the dew-fresh ground. The air is fresh, but also slightly sweet.
The light sweetness is never intrusive or unpleasant, but rather an absolutely rounded sweet freshness that runs through from beginning to end.

I am already looking forward to proudly wearing She Wood in the office jungle.
Let’s see if the compliments are similar to those for the other woodies ;)

...And indeed on vacation! Well, at least mentally for now. :-)
As soon as the first rays of sunshine tickle our noses, hormones go wild, moods lift, we are filled with energy, and especially develop spring feelings, my nose longs for fruity and light freshness.
The winter perfumes are stored in the back corners of the closet, and the summer perfumes are moved to the front.
It comes just in time that Marc Jacobs is taking us to a warm tropical island this year with his summer splashes. Perfectly fitting for my wanderlust, of course ;)
When I stood in front of the new Tropical collection today, I just couldn't decide.
I find them all extremely refreshing, and so different from other summer perfumes.
In the end, I chose Rain and Hibiscus.
Hibiscus is the fruitiest and most intense of all 3 splashes! At least at the beginning...
When sprayed on, it smells like fresh raspberries and mandarins for the first 15 minutes.
After that, the scent doesn't undergo much transformation; I find it simply becomes a bit earthier and woodier!
Generously misted after showering, it instantly lifts your spirits.
I layered it with Daisy today, and I think a completely new scent experience was created.
In general, I recommend layering the scent with other perfumes, as the longevity is not particularly good despite being an Eau de Toilette.
In summary, I can recommend the Marc Jacobs splashes to anyone looking for a summer perfume that you don't smell on every corner! ;)

Elie Saab...A designer that is not really suitable for everyday wear...
Often seen at major events like the Oscars, celebrity weddings, etc.
In short: Unaffordable and above all, hardly any opportunity to throw on such a gown!

So, one would expect something truly special from a perfume that bears this name, right?
However, Elie Saab seems to have conspired with Narciso Rodriguez and simply packed the heart note of "for her" into the top note of "Le Parfum"! Clever, as it is just wonderfully powdery and sensual, but absolutely nothing new.
Well, and who do we have in the heart note? Madame Coco Mademoiselle...Also very elegant, but still somehow totally stolen!
That makes the thieving magpie completely boring for me.
I wouldn't buy it; I’d rather stick with the originals.

...Well, here I am again...
A lovely Parfumo user led me back to a fragrance that I've had my eye on for a long time, but have always "forced" myself not to buy...
But I simply can't deny it, because Daisy and I are absolutely on the same wavelength.
Daisy even sticks with me through thick and thin, as the longevity is, despite all previous reviews, excellent for me.

Now to the scent:
For me, Daisy has the typical Jacobs note. Anyone familiar with other Marc Jacobs fragrances will surely understand me, as I find almost all Jacobs scents to have a similar opening.
Beautifully fresh and absolutely pleasantly unobtrusive.
Daisy starts off, compared to Oh! Lola, not fruity, but floral-herbaceous.
To me, it consistently smells like lovely daisies.
A slightly fruity, herbaceous strawberry note wafts past the daisies.
But never intrusive - with Daisy, nothing is intrusive. Everything comes across lightly buoyant and cheerfully fresh.
An absolute feel-good scent! A fragrance for the gray Mondays in the office.
I love it! That's why it now has a place of honor! :)
