Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP Perfume Review

Marc Jacobs Decadence

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

Let me get this out of the way: I don’t like Marc Jacobs perfumes. They do nothing for me (even though I totally get their appeal). The fragrances don’t interest me. When I try designer perfumes, I like to think of them as an extension of their designer/brand. The Marc Jacobs packaging and the scents themselves make very little sense to me as an extension of the Marc Jacobs brand. The bottles come across much more juvenile than what… Continue reading | 4 Comments

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream

Marc Jacobs Daisy

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

If you want a “never mind me, I’ll just blend in right here” type of perfume, then try Marc Jacobs Daisy.

Daisy opens as clean, green apple fruity-floral shampoo with a hint of grapefruit and nondescript berries. And the heart is nondescript florals. OK, I do get the violet but the rest of the flowers are nondescript. The base is nondescript woods and floral musk.

Daisy is a good perfume in its composition. It’s seamless. It’s a… Continue reading | 14 Comments
