Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense

 Perfect Intense is the brand new, golden fragrance from fragrance powerhouse Marc Jacobs.

Launching a year or so after the original ‘Perfect’, Perfect Intense is a bolder, richer interpretation of its predecessor.

 

Celebrating unapologetic self-expression and the power of being real, bold and #PerfectAsIAm, it has been created as a love letter to yourself, written in a decadent gold ink.

Voluptuous, sensual and intriguing, it is a deeper, richer scent that while being categorised as ‘floral’, features both gourmand and earthy tones making it a truly multi-dimensional fragrant experience.

 

The bottle is instantly recognisable thanks to its vibrant, kitsch cap which has undergone a radiant and elegant makeover to reflect the headier tones of the golden juice captured within.

Gone are the cute, pastel pink and blue hues on the cluster of lucky charms as they are replaced by a bewitching black bow, golden glass slipper and star and rich burgundy cherries which now take center stage.

The deep golden nectar is visible through the heavy glass vessel, tempting you to release its comforting, seductive notes into the world.

Reveal your true potential by removing the cap and unleashing this beautiful scent.

 

Perfect Intense opens with notes of bright, sweet Jasmin Sambac which mingles beautifully with a key element of the original ‘Perfect’, Daffodil Absolute to create a radiant, solar bouquet.

At its heart you’ll find earthy, soft roasted almonds which while surprising, adds an intriguing nutty depth before a dash of spicy pink pepper brightens and lifts the mood.

 

Perfect Intense ends with more familiar notes of creamy sandalwood, rich cashmeran and sesame oil which melt into one another, enveloping the scent in a heavy veil of grounded woodiness.

It really is a multi-faceted, textured scent every step of the way, from vivid light notes to deep, heady tones.

 

Crisp effortlessly mingles with smooth, light with dark, familiar with unexpected.

It is the type of fragrance that will draw people to you as they can’t help but ask ‘what are you wearing?’

Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense is available now and costs £85 for 50ml.

Marc Jacobs Perfect

 “Perfect” is the captivating, playful and fun new fragrance from cult brand Marc Jacobs.

This light-hearted, fruity-floral scent celebrates optimism, self-acceptance and originality, tones which are reflected through both the notes of the fragrance and its eye catching, original and frankly, rather fabulous bottle.

 

 

The perfume was inspired by Marc Jacobs mantra 'I am perfect as I am' which is symbolised by a tattoo of the word “perfect” on his wrist.

Like his tattoo, Perfect Marc Jacobs is all about embracing and expressing one’s true self.

I simply adore the meaning behind the creation of this soon-to-be cult favourite scent.

 

 

Contemporary, vibrant and undeniably feminine, “Perfect” features an unusual yet surprisingly harmonious blend of fresh floral and calm, soothing notes to create an elegant and vivacious scent that invites you to enjoy the different sides of you that make you original.

Nothing shouts “original” more than the scent’s eye-catching and joyful flacon.

The softly curved glass bottle is transparent, revealing the soft pale pink nectar inside.

 

 

Sitting proudly atop is a luxurious gold and diamond cap, with the initials MJ sat beautifully within an elegantly decorated love heart, reminiscent of Marc’s own tattoo.

The free spirited femininity of the scent is reflected in the array of cute, playful elements which are proudly adorning the cap.

A stunning baby blue bow takes pride of place next to a giant faux diamond, because they are of course a girls best friend.

 

 

A pair of red cherries sits alongside a Cinderella inspired glass slipper and a small white kitten while the reverse side features a bright silver star, a pink trainer, peeled banana, domino and another M & J, this time sat within a pair of child’s building blocks.

Somewhat random? Perhaps. Delightfully unique? Absolutely!

One things certain, you’ll have no trouble recognising or remembering this cheerful perfume!

 

 

Given its fantastic visual appeal you may be concerned that the juice within may struggle to live up to the representation which precedes it.

This is definitely not the case!

“Perfect” opens with bold, juicy notes of rhubarb and vivacious bright daffodil.

 

 

It’s comforting heart of sweet, soft almond milk soothes the experience somewhat before base notes of creamy cedarwood and cashmeran wrap their arms around the scent to create an exquisitely soft, sensual fragrance.

I wasn’t at all sure what to expect from the scent but I was pleasantly surprised.

 

 

I love the combination of fresh floral and sweet which blend perfectly without trying to out-do one another.

You can never go wrong with a soft, woody finish either which just calms, softens and smooths the scent to perfection.

 

 

Marc Jacobs Perfect is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs £68.50 for 50ml.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Daze

Daisy Daze limited editions are the exciting new fresh and fruity twists on the classic range of Daisy fragrances.

Created for Spring in four feel-good fragrances, Daisy Daze offers a vibrant, warm and dazzling and escape from the drudge of the everyday.

It’s a bold statement I know, but I reckon that Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Daze could possibly be my all-time favourite Daisy scent to date!

The iconic Eau So Fresh bottle has retained its same instantly recognisable form but has been re-imagined with a soft peachy glow.

The elegant, feminine flowers that adorn the golden cap bloom with pastel greens, warm corals and soft, vintage pinks to reflect the bright, illuminating scent within.

The fragrance opens with notes of ripe, crisp and juicy White Peach which smells wonderfully refreshing, soft and charmingly addictive.

Heart notes of Orchard Blossoms evoke images of a leisurely walk through a sun-drenched orchard, soft grass beneath your feet and the beautiful, fresh yet distinctly floral swirls of blossom on the light warm breeze.

A delicate caress of Peach Skin rounds off the fragrance to create a unique cocktail of sumptuously sweet and soft notes which together create a radiant, sunny and undeniably happy scent.

Daisy Eau So Fresh Daze is a resplendent, luminous fragrance that effortlessly captures the delightful glow of Springtime.

An addictive and playful combination of soft, sweet floral notes, it is an elegant and feminine scent which makes me feel happy and bright whenever I wear it.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Daze is available now and costs £69.
