Daisy so Intense
Honey is what sets it apart from everything else in the family, and Marc Jacobs Daisy so Intense Eau de Parfum is the richest reading of the house's best known idea.
Strawberry opens, sweet and red, with pear adding a crisp watery edge and bergamot giving a bitter citrus polish that keeps the fruit from reading as childish. Honey follows in the middle and changes the whole character of the thing: thick, faintly waxy, a little animal at its edges, and it makes the composition warmer and far more adult than the usual flanker. Jasmine and rose fill out the heart around it, the jasmine rich and the rose deep rather than dewy.
Underneath, vanilla smooths everything into comfort, musk gives a clean warmth, benzoin adds a balsamic, almost toffee like depth, and oakmoss supplies the damp earthiness that stops the sweetness from spreading unchecked across the whole drydown. Alberto Morillas composed it in 2021. As an eau de parfum it is considerably stronger than the toilette versions it sits beside, lasting six or seven hours with a warm trail, so two sprays will usually be enough.
Autumn and winter suit it best and evenings more than mornings, since warmth brings the honey forward and cold keeps it in proportion. It is aimed at women and will appeal particularly to anyone who likes the Daisy range but has always wanted a version with some real weight behind it rather than another variation on fruit and flowers.
Beyond Daisy and its many flankers, this American label has put its name to Lola, Bang and Decadence, all of them made under licence by Coty. The fashion business dates from 1984 and belongs to LVMH.
