Because we have been thinking: "Smelling nice is good!"
Today’s Perfume: Marc Jacobs Daisy, $55 and up
What Sephora says: "Enter the world of Daisy: fresh and feminine, with a playful innocence. At the heart of Daisy is a floral with vintage edge: violet. Sophisticated, with a touch of whimsy, violet captures the eclectic, vintage flavor of Marc Jacobs’ feminine, edgy designs. Always elegant, always enchanting – but not too serious – Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet, spirited and fresh, wrapped in comfort and warmth."
The packaging: We love it. The daisies are a bit super-suburb-cheese, but … we’re from the suburbs. We love it. The Marc Jacobs font. It’s not exactly … rustic French chic. Or elegant. Or a lot of other things. Sometimes adorability is the way to go. A+
The smell: We put it on and were all like, ‘Why do we smell like high school?’ We’re going with the term "entry-level" to describe Daisy: It’s not, like, challenging, or layered, or witty. It’s like: ‘Hey, you! Yeah, you, middle-schooler, looking for something to wear to your first dance! You want to wear this because it’s all fruity and sweet and comes in a super-cute bottle with plastic daisies!’ They use the word "edgy\edge" twice in that description above. We wouldn’t quite go there. But as a starter-perfume, why not?
Our grade: B-
The cheese factor got me, and I am not in middle school. I rotate it with keihls and coco madamoiselle.
We are also in love with Daisy, probably because it is the only thing by Marc Jacobs that we can actually afford.
