Daisy - Marc Jacobs Fragrance Review

As a stay at home mom there are few things that don't involve my handsome son that make my day. One would be a trip to Target alone. Another would be seeing someone in a FedEx uniform jog up to my door holding a box.

Today's delivery contained this sleek white box: 

I'm a huge fan of good branding/packaging and this box made me happy. Inside this pretty little box was:

One 3.4 oz bottle of Daisy Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum

One 4.2 oz bottle of Daisy Eau So Fresh

One Daisy Mini

Twelve Daisy samples to share

Daisy Chain supplies including: daisy bracelet supplies, a tablecloth, white & gold balloons with ribbons, faux daisy heads to decorate with & a brochure.

How awesome is this kit? I've previously tried Daisy Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum strolling through Sephora but I had never purchased for myself. I figured as far as reviewing them I would start small and work my way up to the big bottle. 

Let's start with packaging. How freaking cute are these bottles? I mean..really, look at how cute they are! The flower petals are rubbery and so perfectly dainty. 

The first scent I tried was the Daisy Eau de Parfume. It has been a while since I haven't been able to stroll a Sephora without a three year old "coloring" with lip liners or expensive lipsticks so I honestly had forgotten how good this smells. The brochure explains the scent so perfectly, "Daisy is a timeless fragrance by Marc Jacobs that carries a sophisticated, delicate floral scent perfect for eclectic spontaneous women. Fresh, feminine and innocent, Daisy encompasses hints of violet and notes of strawberry, ruby red grapefruit, and creamy vanilla for an enchanting fresh scent of warmth and comfort." 

I honestly couldn't have said it better myself, but I shall try. 

As far as scents go, I am NOT a fan of citrus. It often leaves a burning feeling in my nose and I can't handle it. Candles, sprays, anything citrus cannot happen in my home. This, despite the citrus-y description, was so subtle and delicate. It was floral and warm and..whimsical..yeah..whimsical. 

I could absolutely see wearing this daily. It's a scent that would not only be good for skipping through a field, but also good for a night out. I love having a scent that translates well to different settings and this one fits the bill.

The second scent was the Daisy Eau So Fresh. This one had a lovely pinkish tint compared to the classic golden tint of the Eau de Parfum. I haven't had the pleasure of trying this one before so I was "flying blind." I splashed some of this on before heading out to a farmers market with my son. The scent was sweet, floral, playful, fresh and lovely. It is a bit more floral than Daisy proper but that is right up my floral alley. It's been a while since I've had people say "what perfume are you wearing?!" when out on the town (my previous regular scent is Coach Poppy) but I had 3-4 women ask me and 1 man! It completely embodies what I think a scent should be: mature, but fun and flirty and I love that. 

This weekend I will be having my lady friends over and we will jumping on the MJ Daisy Train and crafting ourselves some Daisy bracelets with the lovely items provided below: 

I can't wait to hand out the samples to my girls & hear what they think about Daisy. 

You can get these scents for yourself at Sephora online at www.Sephora.com or in store.
