Daisy Review


Daisy for Marc Jacobs has at its heart a metallic, green-violet accord constructed around Helional and ionones that’s given a slight nectarine-type fruity accent and rendered transparent with Hedione. This is underscored by an assertive, dry wood and musks base. 
Overall, Daisy smells quite a lot like shampoo. 

Nose: Alberto Morillas
House: Marc Jacobs
Release date: 2007
Notes (per Fragrantica): fruity strawberry notes, violet leaf, pink grapefruit, gardenia, violet, jasmine, white woods,vanilla, musk.

Bang Review


Although Marc Jacobs' Bang is structured around a woody-amber skeleton that recalls a myriad modern men’s fragrances, it bravely renounces the citrus and metallic lavender embellishments typical of the genre. Instead, Yann Vasnier fleshed out the composition using Givaudan’s aptly named patent molecule Pepperwood. Boosted by a large helping of Iso E Super, the effect is a bright, diffusive, woody, and above all peppery fragrance with strong mossy undertones.

Notes (per Fragrantica): black, white and pink pepper, masculine woody notes, elemi resin, aromatic benzoin, vetiver, white moss, patchouli
