Blush

Where are all the negative reviews coming from, huh???? I am now officially so in love with Blush! Blush is different to other fragrances in my collection which I haven't necesserely fallen in love with immediately! Blush is crispy, fresh, sweet floral perfume, with a distinct honeysuckle, jasmine, anise and orange flower notes ''cooled'' with banana note which is so pleasant! It is probably the best floral fragrance I have ever came accross, it smells royal, exclusive, elegant, it has moderate sweetness and I would strongly disagree with those of you stating that Blush is boring! The hell it isn't :-) It is rich and in fact this is how I want to smell all spring long! Lasting power and sillage is more than decent. The bottle is pretty and will be quite practical in your handbag. (unlike Lola or Daisy lol) Blush, in my opinion, would make an asset to your floral collection. I am so happy I made this blind purchase of mine so successfull and now have a huge 100ml bottle to enjoy! Beauty in a bottle! Certainly deserves some space on your dresser if you love crispy sweet florals! (my nose says no tuberose here, which I am actually happy about!) Mr Demarcado, you are officially my favourite fragrance wizzard, right next to Mr Ropion, Mr Cresp, Mr Cavallier and Ms Grojsman :-)

This was my first "real" perfume purchase, found in Harrod's in London, February 2006. I didn't know anything about perfumes yet except that I liked a spicy scent, and was only drawn to the bottle on display because of the Marc Jacobs name. I was 17 and determined to buy myself something "fancy" and was half prepared to blind buy the bottle when I finally did smell it- and I was in love. To me it's a bright burst of spice and floral notes, although I seem to be the only one who smells spice, which seems odd to be since that was literally what compelled me to buy it. The only floral fragrance I've ever enjoyed because to me it's never cloying, powerdery or citrusy. Even though these days I only wear dark, incense and resiny fragrances, I will always have a bottle of Blush for light, lovely days. It's pure nostalgia.

I acquired Blush before I learnt how to describe scents with sophisticated words. Happily, it is still a staple in my collection today. The charming jasmine was magnificent. The jasmine being dusted with green tea - it is slightly salty and honeyed at the same time. It blends well with the skin, it is inoffensive and ultra feminine. The captivating and subtle bitterness is ever so pleasant - it gives the perfume a natural and organic touch. It is distinct from the mass market jasmine perfumes, no vanilla, no fuss, no indolic headaches. Blush is your favourite beige silky dress that hugs your curves perfectly - it is truely elegant.

Blush. One of the saddest things I ever discovered about perfume was that this fragrance was discontinued so quickly. But, I suppose, like the real orange blossoms of South Florida, their sweet, calming, succulent fragrance is fleeting. Because I don't wish to fork over the bucks to buy a "new" bottle on eBay I make do with a 5ml diluted neroli oil, a tiny thing that I roll on the tops of my hands whenever I'm anxious. But one day I'll indulge in a whole set: shower gel, body lotion, and perfume. Blush is a love-hate scent. And yep, I love it, and this will be my first and only review to lack an attempt to explain why.

My all time favorite! The only one I never get bored of. When I wear it, it makes me feel so feminine... it makes me feel like a princess. I first received a sample of this scent long time ago and I remember it was love at first smell. I was fascinated by the flowery notes inside of that small bottle. I have never smelled anything similar before. Such a cute, innocent and creamy fragrance! Its smell is unique, it's like the best flower nectar was poured into that bottle: so sweet, juicy and dreamy. I'd say it's like a fairytale... I simply love it!

This is an amazing Jasmine! I like it so much better than other white florals of the era, like Marc Jacobs watery gardenia, or Micheal Kors loud tuberose. This smells like jasmine and honey over a base of rice in the drydown. The effect reminds me of jasmine rice- one of the most soothing and beautiful smells! The one negative is that you musn't overspray- this seems to have aldehydes that project far, and can give you a headache if you overdo it. Overall, I admire the beautiful jasmine simplicity and soothing rice-like base of this scent.

Minus the star anise this was the perfect intimate jasmine skin scent. Quite why it was discontinued I don't understand. It was unique, still easy to wear. It had absolute abysmal sillage but that didn't matter. It still had so much else to offer. Dreamy, poetic, still grounded in something very natural and life affirming. Bring it back, I say! ( And this time without the almost alcoholic smelling star anise, please.)

It smells like Jasmine Green Tea 茉莉香片! I was so shock when I found her and that was the smell I was looking for. It definitely smells very Jasmine but the green, juicy and a bit woody smell makes the whole thing more interesting. It is light, airy and sexy. It works like a naked makeup ~

Blush is so delicate and feminine. It smelled to me of sweet Jasmine tea. I think this is a beautifully subtle fragrance. It lasted 3 hours on me, without any kind of layering.

I used to own this one and it was very intoxicating. It is a pity that the production has been discontinued!! Hope to resume production as soon as possible.

i dont know why all these negative reviews.. it is long lasting it smell wonderfull you never get bored of this .. and i get a lot of compliments!!

Long lasting perfume, very elegant and sexy. The best jasmine scent. Love it.

There is NO anise. It is star jasmine, not star anise.

I owned this perfume some years ago. Got it quite cheap from TKmaxx. I have to admit I have mixed feelings for it. Jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, honeysuckle, none of these is to my liking. I've never been a fan of white flowers, not to mention there is a sharp almost acid smell in this scent. But I liked it. It used to my daily perfume worn to work. It's ultra feminine, almost a fragile fragrance, true to its name and the subtle colour of the bottle. But it's also very refreshing, good for a Monday morning. It smells especially AMAZING on cool rainy days as the acid smell seems to be toned down by the humidity. Humidity also brings dimensions to it, making it not so flat a floral scent. HOWEVER, it gives me headache even nausea if I have one more spray on myself. The problem is I never worked out the right amount of sprays with this perfume...:( I don't like light fragrance so I always go for that extra spray...and voila...OMG I feel a bit dizzy...very dizzy...I need to lie down in fresh air...this happens every time! I've tried lots of perfumes and this one comes the second worse that makes me sick, right after J'adore. It'll be a crime if someone wears it on a hot stuffy tube train, someone like me can be killed... I manage to use up the whole bottle (I won't tell you I used the last 1/5 as room spray) and swear I'll never buy something like this again. I still think it's more interesting than Daisy and Lola. I really love it but sadly I can't wear it properly. It can be a real classic on the right person.

this smells a lot to jasmine and tuberose. the fruit accords give this fragrance a touch of "creamy sourness" (peach, green banana and bergamotte) joined with fully blooming white petals of intense jasmine and tuberose. indeed a unusual composition: modern and vintage united. this fragrance is sophisticated, creamy and elegant. in some way it is also a bit cheeky and innocent like a hug of a child, and it sprides a very distict feminity ("i' m unreachable for you!") in some way, but also very familiar (kinda mother's smell maybe?). no daring sweets in this one. it is very 'sec' (dry champagne) and clean, yet little creamy and powdery and it's a really special one... definitely must try before buy. this is probably not everyones cup of tea. hate or love i guess you need to be very selfconfident to wear this kind of scent. i love to wear it when i wanna feel 'untoucheable' and distinct with minimal nude makeup and businesslook but wanna feel very feminine without wanting to seduce in any way. it last the whole day long without having to reapply. sillage nice!!! a keeper. bottle is beautiful.

received a free sample of this, so i figured i'd try it. it starts off with orange blossom and jasmine with a hint of peach. it's tart, and i thus far i like it better than i thought i would. after being on the skin awhile, i get a hint of something creamy, which i think is the banana note. initially that note scared me because i loathe to eat or smell bananas but it's nice here and not really too banana-y at all. there is some cashmere wood and musk in the background, subtly balancing the scent. primarily this is an orange blossom scent with a hint of peach on my skin, then after the drydown it turns to a honeysuckle-peach. it's good, because i tend to veer towards heavier scents that do well in winter and was longing for some scents i can wear in summer. this may well be one of them. 2nd try: this starts with peach, orange blossom, bergamot and a hint of pepper. i later on get more jasmine with the orange blossom and now it's primarily a peachy jasmine with little hints of banana, honeysuckle and freesia, i believe. i still get no tuberose though.

Another high-quality, long-lasting edp creation from Marc Jacobs, BLUSH offers a new group of florals in a musky yet clean-feeling base. In this composition, jasmine and honeysuckle loom large and are supported and framed by musk and cashmere wood. I do detect a tad of tuberose as well. I would definitely have categorized this one as "floral woody musk", because the musk and the wood decidedly take the edge off the florals and assert themselves as substantive notes. BLUSH has a unique sort of squeaky feeling that I love and can compare favorably to both FRACAS and DECI DELA. Although the three are entirely distinct, they do, to my nose, share this "je ne sais quoi" rather funky edge. So far, Marc Jacobs is three for three: MARC JACOBS, ESSENCE, and BLUSH are all winners in my perfume book. Thank goodness some modern perfumers are still holding the quality candle high in the midst of the capitalized forces leading many celebs to produce junk in a bottle and fob it off as edp.

I bought the bottle I have of Marc Jacobs Blush almost 18 years ago. I imagine that the juice in the bottle has changed. But from what I remember, there was so much going on in this heavy flower ladened almost tropical drink fragrance. I miss bold perfumes like this and Versace Blonde. Take no prisoners. Today the bottle is okay and I mostly smell it for sentimental reasons and sometimes throw it on for a summer walk on a warm day. I have been looking for something similar but many with so many white flowers have the indolic scent I don't care for. This has none of that. I smell no banana, maybe a hint of peach. I actually think for me the most annoying scent is the freesia. Let me know if anything from today's world is similar that I could try. I think Flowerhead by Byredo is somewhat close but missing the juiciness of this one.

It's funny how you can change with time in what perfumes you like or what perfumes work on you. When I was in my early twenties this scent actually had a somewhat gross cumin note on me, fast forward about 5 years, and I had used up my decants of L'Artisan's La Chasse aux Papillons. I was looking for a clean summery floral that still had character and I randomly receive a sample of this in a swap. I suddenly am rather blown away by the resemblance to LCaP and that it actually smells good on me. Well long story short I got a bottle and have learned to love this in the dry hot summers of California. Blush has a rather cooling dewy effect and enough of a tinge from the peach, star jasmine, and star anise to be far more interesting than the usual clean white floral.

attention star anise lovers!!! there is NO staranise in it!!!!! wrong placed on the fragrantica pyramid... it is Star jasmine!!! i do really like this scent, the banana peach opening is fruity foody and quite unusual and inetresting in a good way! then it turns in a real jasmin scent. creamy powdery intense jasmin with a hint of freesia, powdery tuberose and a creamy honeysuckle. it lasts very well on the skin, sillage very good in the first stages but on the base it turns average. very elegant and feminine scent. it seems to be discontinued ?? what a shame ! hope i will not regret to have agreed to swap it... hmmmm :/
