Marc Jacobs
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The strawberry arrives bright and immediate, with a almost jam-like sweetness that's neither fresh nor overripe—a perfectly balanced berry note that catches light like jam held up to a window. It's uncomplicated and inviting, setting an expectation of fruity sweetness that hasn't yet revealed the fragrance's fuller architecture.
The rosebud and honey emerge with graceful inevitability, softening the strawberry's edges whilst adding a floral-creamy dimension that transforms the composition entirely. The honey reads as warm and slightly thick, almost caramel-tinged, mingling with rose petals that feel velvety rather than sharp. This phase reveals the fragrance's true personality—a nuanced sweetness with actual florality rather than mere fruit.
The moss becomes increasingly perceptible as the brighter notes fade, anchoring the remaining sweetness with subtle earthiness and a faint mineral quality. What persists is a soft, skin-scent sweetness—more honey and rose than strawberry—that feels more like a memory of the fragrance's fullness than the fragrance itself, intimate and barely-there.
Daisy Eau So Intense arrives as a strawberry confection with genuine charm, though the title's promise of intensity proves somewhat exaggerated. Alberto Morillas has crafted something altogether more delicate than the name suggests—a fragrance that trades projection for intimacy, wrapping itself around the wearer like a whispered confidence rather than a proclamation.
The strawberry top note carries a subtle jammy quality, slightly tart and genuine rather than synthetic candy. What's remarkable is how quickly the heart reveals itself: honeyed rosebud emerges with a creamy sweetness that feels almost edible, as though someone's infused actual honey into rose petals. This is where the composition reveals its cleverness—the strawberry doesn't disappear so much as it dissolves into the honey, creating a unified sweet-fruity-floral accord that reads less as separate notes and more as a single, cohesive character.
