Daisy Black Edition

So a fellow Fragrantica Friend was saying not long ago that she has several fragrances that she wants to give a really decent shot to. I also am guilty of spray it maybe wear once or twice and it can end up in the back of my collection collecting dust while I use others that I buy, so when she mentioned she was doing that it got me thinking to do that. So-this review is, or I guess the last few I’ve done are from me going through my lonely bottles way in the back haha and this happens to be one of them. Not only am I glad I didn’t use it up then because I love it, I forgot how much I loved it so now I get to play around with it. To me when I think of Daisy and how it smells, the word sparkling comes to mind, I’m not sure if anyone else out there knows what I mean by that but in my mind it’s sparkling, almost like champagne would be. It’s so beautiful. While I would and will wear this year round wherever whenever -I can see this being so perfect for a night out in the summer, or any evening outing on that note. I forgot how much I liked this!!! I can’t even describe any notes I smell other than to say it’s a sparkling smell lol I hope someone else on here knows what I mean :)

Absolutely NOT surprised to find out this was designed by Alberto Morillas, in fact I'm mad at myself for not making a list of all the perfumes he designed to try them all; that way I would have found this one earlier! This is heaven in a bottle. Definitively gorgeous, can make you forget all of your troubles; such a gentle, calm, pretty fragrance!! Violet is definitely the top note, while jasmine and gardenia are strong too. Vanilla just adds a hint of smoothness so it is not a sharp floral. Got this version specifically because this is EDP and am slightly annoyed that it only comes in a 50ml bottle. And nope,despite being an EDP just like any other absolutely beautiful Morillas creation, this doesn't stay long. It has below average sillage. It is a heavenly secret just for you and for your SO; it's not for you to share with your friends or strangers- because it will not reach that far unless they bury their noses in your neck. My signature scent nevertheless, because it defines and completes me - although, only for like an hour.

Lovely, balanced fragrance, youthful in a very universal way. I can picture this one being worn by a woman in her early 20's, just as well as one in her 40's or more. It's just an olfactive ode to femininity and I think it embraces so many tastes and styles. Definitely office friendly and not offensive, it's not particularly striking or memorable, but it's also a safe confidence booster and just generally a feel-good perfume. Even though I wouldn't consider it a date night or a come hither perfume, it got many compliments from ladies and gents. Cucumber is not listed among the notes, but I can't help smelling it in the very first minutes from the application. The dry down is lovely on me, gorgeous white floral blend, not excessively sparkling, but not musky vanilla either. So on a very safe balance between the two. I'd say it's a great blind buy bet or gift idea.

lush!!!! didnt like the original daisy so never owned it. then one day i was chatting to someone who was wearing the black edition and asked what perfume she was wearing as she smelt so sexy! been addicted ever since. im in my 30s and must say i dont think this smell is as young as people are saying. to me its fresh at first but the smell that lasts for hours after is more of a fresh musky vanilla!! such an interesting smell i love it!! oh and lasting power is fantastic! i have a nose like a sniffer dog and so many perfumes even i cant smell hours later. but this is fab . one of my new favourites :-) also love this bottle . much nicer than the original!!

Whichever color bottle of the edp--same scent--great winter scent. I don't get the grapefruit at all though and am surprised it's ranked so high by others in the notes. the edp is a really solid, well blended perfume (much, much better than the edt). I know MJ Daisys get some flack for all the flankers, but I get compliments every time I wear this. It really has respectable silage and longevity. I get violet, soft musk with faint gardenia undertones and gentle blond wood. It may not be complex, but it's very pleasant, not fruitily, citrusy, sugary or powdery. It's a satisfying scent, not addictive or intoxicating,, but feminine and substantial.

I purchased Daisy BE soon it was released and have to say that I recall it had absolutely no sillage whatsoever. Like, you spray it and in 5 minutes it's gone, not even a ghost trail lingers around, not even as skin scent. I was highly disappointed given the price tag paid back then. Also, all one can detect are gardenia and jasmine. No strawberry, no violet hint, nothing. This is a rather generic, very watery fragrance, perhaps better suited to scent the pillow case. It has to be a 1 out of 10, sadly, all for the bottle.

Oh what a difference the edp version makes!!! I love daisy, but couldn't see paying the money for a scent that disappeared 10 minutes after application...Then I read about the black edition and tracked it down on eBay. Omg, I am so Happy I did!!! Beautiful, rich, clean floral smell that stays on me for about 4 hours. A huge improvement over the edt version. Yes, its worth the money, if you really love this scent. :)

A timeless, beautiful classic that is extremely popular with women. Heavenly, delightful and not overpowering or too intense. I am lucky to work in a store that sells a lot of perfume and this is one that I always recommend to female customers. This is one of the first 'designer' perfumes I ever owned and still today I adore this fragrance. I really need to purchase another bottle!

This is the edp, that is what the "intense" refers to. I much prefer it to the edt which is not strong enough straight out of the bottle for me. I LOVE this but wish MJ would stop creating so much drama with all the different bottle editions and not making it clear what "intense" is. I have the Silver Edition, btw, which is a very pretty bottle though.

I like this one, it’s not an intense version of the original. It’s just the same. But I tried something today because I wanted it to be a bit creamier . I layered this with Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Garden! And omg the smell it’s something out of this world! I absolutely love it! It’s fruity, creamy and sweet! Try it! You won’t regret it 😊

It smells sparkling and sweet in an elegant way on my skin. I got a lot of compliments from guys ! It is not that sweet naughty girl scent, it is not heavy at all. It smells like a sophisticated young lady in a black little dress drinking champion at night. I also have daisy eau so fresh, but I like the black one far more than that.

I love this one of this line. This has some attitude to it. This is More memorable. The original Daisy is nice aswell, but this is incredible. Ps. I've always wondered, why are they called Daisy if there's not even a daisynote?

Love it. Lasts longer than original.....because it is an edp.....not sure why some people say it's identical to original. Turn the bottle upside down or read the box....eau de parfum!

i im just in love with this fragrance !!! i feel like a princess in the gigant garden with flowers and fruits . AA lovver

My guy friend and I agree that this scent is great. I only smelled it in the store though, I have to get a bottle!

All i can say is that i wanted this for so long and now i finally got me a bottle and i LOVE the smell :)

Champagne in a beautiful perfume bottle.. Quite lovely & long lasting.

Fresh and innocent... adorable!

Daisy was one of my crazy purchases done in a brief moment of being miles away. It is not one from my preferred olfactory groups but I liked the bottle, the overall image and I wanted to love the fragrance so much that I just had to have it. Also the black bottle gave me the impression of something darker than the EDT, maybe a fresh perfume that could be used for evenings? I was so wrong though... Daisy EDP is a nice, easy to wear everyday perfume, great for spring - summer - early autumn days when being out and about. Great to wear when you want to smell fresh, clean and not too perfume-y. I am still relatively new to perfumes and my nose still requires a lot of training but all I can smell is something very green like freshly cut grass mixed with some earthy flowers. Not very longlasting for an EDP but sillage is good while it lasts ( couple of hours only) and then it fades. I like the scent, it is very relaxing to wear but far from making a statement and I find it to be hugely overpriced for what it is.

Sophisticated in a bottle! I enjoyed this perfume. The floral component was the most noticable on me and fairly long lasting. If you are into florals this scent is mainstream enough to wear everyday yet unique enough to become a signature scent. My skin type: oily Office Safe: no to strong Potency: Medium (2-5 sprays) Projection: 6 feet + Longetivity: 8 hrs plus Timing: any time of the year Packaging: 9/10 I love the black and gold bottle...the only down side is that the bottle is so dark you can not see how much perfume is left in the bottle Price: $77 CND for 50 ml at Shoppers Drug Mart Will I Repurchase: No Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, the season, and my personal tastes

I didn't think this would be 'my kind of fragrance' when I first tested it a few years ago and never gave it much thought until a few weeks ago when I received a bottle as a gift. I must admit I was wrong about Daisy... What a gem! I would class it as a fresh floral with soft, green notes. I get gardenia and jasmine with a touch of lemon and a slight caress of cucumber. It's inoffensive but not generic. Perfect for daytime. The pretty bottle made it even more of a pleasure to receive as a gift. The lasting power is outstanding... At least 8h on me. Overall 8/10

Simply beautiful fragrance!!!Very light, clean and feminine. This is a very suitable scent for everyday wear and in particular for office. Its suitable for all seasons imo, but more for spring and summer! Whats so special about it, is that the strawberry is well balanced with the other notes. Therefore its not too sweet smelling.I just love the violet in this. I am a little disappointed with its lasting power on my skin, just a little. Noticed that after a few hours had to reapply; for a MJ edp this is not 'done'. But still I love this one!!!

I love strawberries, but I sadly don't smell it anywhere in this fragrance. I do get some grapefruit in the opening, but it does not last long. Gardenia, violet and jasmine... Oh, velveeeeety jasmine... not! I get lots of gardenia and some soft violet, which seem to be the theme of this fragrance. As for the drydown - woody an musky. For me, this is an "early morning" fragrance, suitable for women who like to be "as fresh as a daisy" in spring/summer. Not too playful, not too serious either.

To my nose this is way better than the original: not because it smells much different from the original but because I can actually smell it on myself! The original is so weak on me but this one is perfect. I haven't compared this side by side with the original but as much as I can remember, they smell pretty much the same, this one is only stronger.

I absolutely loved this perfume when I first inhaled it and needed to buy it. However, after a few weeks of usage I found myself using other perfumes more and found it to be very light, sillage disappointed me personally but I was never short on compliments when wearing it. I just like to be able to smell a perfume is all!

If you are a fan of the original, this version will come as no surprise to you. It is still the same wonderfully fresh scent. Oh, but the staying power is totally different! It stays for hours and hours... What is left after the top and middle notes of heavenly flowers have faded is a delicate musky-vanilla-gardenia mix.

A colleague of mine wears this and it is heavenly and with far more lasting power and sillage than the EDT (this is an EDP). Maybe this is the one for me then, as the EDT is basically gone upon impact... Love the smell of both EDT and EDP though this one appears to has a little more depth.

Doesn't smell more intense. Smells almost exactly the same as the original. Doesn't last any longer. I have both and it's like I brought the same fragrance twice! Slightly annoying but I love the original so will use them both and the black is a pretty bottle.

I tested it yesterday for the first time and i like it very much. I didn't find the original Daisy perfume, but it doesn't matter. It slightly reminds me Dior J'adore, but more sweet. Very long lasting. And the bottle is piece of art.

Fresh, cold, green scent. Reminds me of DKNY be delicious except replace the tart green apple scent with more of a grasser scent, like tea. Lasts 6-8 hours on skin. Longer than the regular versions that smell exactly the same.

Very nice. Better for spring/summer IMO. Long lasting in the EDP. My biggest complaint is how oily this is. Even a light spray on my skin leaves a greasy sheen. This probably adds to the lasting power but still annoying.

I really like this perfume and i prefer it to the original Daisy as that one smelled too strong of alcohol and nothing else. This is a modern day, city girl kind of perfume and i like to wear it at the office.

So beyond disappointed!!! This does NOT last! I feel like it was just money wasted. Yes, smells identical to daisy, and I didn't go wild spraying since I trusted a few spritzes would suffice. But, nope

I prefere this EDP to the EDT as I think putting in the jasmine and not the violet leaves softens the fragrance without changing it's identity. It is the perfect perfume for long summer days

This is a very safe fragrance, a great every day perfume to wear. This smells exactly the same as the EDT but just lasts a little longer. Daisy is very pretty, fresh and light, a classic.

Got this perfume today and I really like it :) It's better than the original one.. This is a floral scent with twist of musk..and well balanced. glad it's not too sweet...

I was surprised that Daisy edp smells just like Dior J'adore. I expected something else, something fresh and clean. I don't like the bottle, because it looks cheap.

Decided to wear this for the first time in a long time and just came to say it smells like Mugler Aura EDT but doesn’t last as long..

Very similar to Daisy, but a bit more mature. If you like the original, this is a nice alternative for evenings and nights.

Smells fruity fresh, the rest seems to disappear. A nice scent, short longitivity but nice.

i like the edt bottle, but this scent is more lasting that the edt. too bad ;(

I used to wear the original Daisy. It was 'sparkling', fresh but a little on the screechy side. Fairy sharp on the opening though. This black edition of course has all those characteristics, but it is slightly deeper and softer, and the sharpness does recede quickly. I don't wear this fragrance often the grapefruit with the jasmine/violet combination is just too over the top for me. It isn't something I reach for but for a spring/summer fragrance it can be work for some. 4/10

I am beyond disappointed with this. Bought the EDP as I expected it to have more staying power and projection. Boy was I wrong. Strong alcohol when first sprayed, then very soft gardenia, violet and musk. 5 minutes later, it's gone! If you like the original Daisy EDT, stick with that. Don't think that this will be stronger, or last longer. It won't. Gutted.

This fragrance is crisp, playful and wonderful to wear. It really warms on the skin and becomes delicate and delicious. I can't stop sniffing it...highly addictive.

Just the original Daisy in a different bottle. Nothing more, nothing less.

The mix of violets and grapefruit works very well in the opening. Especially the violets smell very lovely. When the fragrance settles a bit, the grapefruit becomes too prominent for me. After a few hours the grapefruit fades away a bit, but to my taste not enough to let the violets shine bright. It's very delicate and sof fragrance, suitable for spring and summer but still not a winner for me in violet scents.

Marc Jacobs Daisy with the gold flowers is not EXACTLY the same as the one with the white vinyl flowers, although the description above and many reviewers have pointed that out. This one is the EDP version, whereas the other one is EDT. I have both on my dresser now, as I bought the EDP when the EDT started running out. With that, I have different experiences with either. Daisy EDP, as you can guess, lasts longer, but that is not to say it has remarkable longevity. I have now realized that staying power is an issue with Daisy, something I had hoped would be significantly improved with EDP. There are other EDT's I own (See by Chloe and Love Chloe Eau Florale for instance) which outlast this, even on clothing. Sillage on EDP is also more moderate than Daisy EDT. Perhaps because EDT's normally have higher alcohol content therefore more projection? I wouldn't know for sure. In any case, EDP is almost a skinscent to me. Not to say this poses any particular problem, as there are times when I do prefer my scent to stay close. Having said all that, Daisy EDP is a quiet floral, smooth and lush in a summery way. Strangely, I do not get any grapefruit, even though it is ranked pretty high among main notes. I can detect the strawberry somewhere, but not in the forefront, especially when the woodsy vanilla drydown comes in. This might be one of very few fragrances that work well at any age. I started wearing it nearly ten years ago, and I still come back to it now (I'm in my 30's). I know a lady in her 60's who wears it, and it smells fantastic on her, and I also know teenage girls who acquire this as a first designer perfume, and it smells fantastic on them. Speaking of which, this does make a good introduction into the world of designer perfumes for young girls, don't you think?

Fragrance Review For Daisy Black Marc Jacobs Top Notes Grapefruit Strawberry Violet Leaves Middle Notes Violet Gardenia Jasmine Base Notes Woods Musk Vanilla This one doesn't have a daisy either. The first Daisy fragrance is the most inappropriately titled fragrance of all time! I want my daisies! I guess I'll have to just get actual daisies into my home. This is a fruity floral not anything special but I do find it very enjoyable. It's a spring fragrance of delicious strawberry and grapefruit, violets, gardenia and jasmine petals. This is a white floral scent with violet. It's the best way I can describe it. Just a big violet with white flowers around it. The musk at the dry down is what gives this a darker edge, a black color but it's not masculine unisex nor too musky. It's sweet with vanilla that keeps everything together. The vanilla note is one note that I have learned is so vital to perfumery. It gives it all the right stuff: longevity, powder, sillage, aroma. This is not as mysterious as I wanted it to be, not an Oriental, not an incense, not a sandalwood, not a patchouli. This is the black of a little black dress you wear to flirt at a nightclub, not the black of night, or smoke. Sweet and pretty.

This one actually is great. I only wonder if it's stronger or what than regular daisy. At first I didn't want to try it because I didn't like the ad and name for something. Now I must admit that name and the bottle is super cute as well as the fragrance inside. At first there's definitely strawberry with 'daisy' smell- the jasmine and violets create this feeling. Following heart notes has strawberry too, but less stronger and jasmine is less stronger too.. there's more violet and jasmine. Very warm, casual and cute in my opinion, I like it and want to get one myself, only doubt - this one or regular? This seems to be a stronger version. I sprayed not much and the sillage and projection (I learned a new word :D)is very good on my wrist. AS I wear it longer I like it better and better, now it seems light, fruity with vanilla as well. Yum! Fragrance for sunny summer days :D

I enjoy Daisy Intense (black bottle) EDP, much better than Daisy EDT (clear bottle). Smells almost the same, but more pleasant and sweet to me. Doesn't have that strong alcohol smell when first sprayed. I feel the Violet Leaf is stronger in the black bottle than in the clear bottle and maybe that's why I like it better. It's a very feminine smell. Not an "expensive" smell, but not mall store "cheap". Smells common; not unique. Very pretty scent. Does NOT last on me at least. I/friends can smell it on me for maybe about an hour, then it becomes a very skin close scent. Like you have to put nose to skin to smell it (which isn't bad with the right people). Lasts maybe 30 mins longer when used with the body lotion. Even when sprayed in hair it does not last more than an hour. But still a lovely scent.
