Daisy Wild Eau So Intense

Holy banana Batman! Considering banana isn’t listed as a note, this opens with a blast of banana fruit. The scent is somewhere in between that of a Gros Michael and Cavendish banana, there’s artificial and fresh fruit here. A definate hit of isoamyl acetate. If you were hoping for sweet banana in this fragrance, you’ll be satisfied.. for about 5 mins and then the banana.. well.. splits! I really wasn’t sure what I was getting into initially, thinking I’d accidentally stumbled across a gourmand.. but as the perfume settled, I was very pleasantly surprised. The jasmine comes through and, to my nose, a hint of tuberose, but gently so. There’s still a fruity hint and what I also imagine then is the banana flower. It pulls the white flowers toward a yellow floral, a hint of green and creamy waxiness, and as the amber creeps up from the base, a warm resin plays with the brightness. There’s a little bit of earthy nuttiness in there too. It’s sweet but surprisingly really well balanced and very pleasant to the nose. As it settles further, in stark contrast to its opening, the sandalwood pulls all the notes together to create a rather sensual yet bright, sweet fruity, earthy floral. The dry down actually reminds me a bit of Paco Rabane’s Olympea. It doesn’t smell like it, it just has the same vibe. A sensual, almost velvety slightly, fruity floral. Easy to wear and very nice indeed. I was worried about the ‘intense’ bit. I don’t get on well with Marc Jacobs DNA, they all give me stonking headaches, which is unfortunate as my daughter favoured the cute bottles from her late teens and I’ve had to endure many a car journey choked out in a cloud of Daisy, Dot, Perfect and their many flankers. But not with this one, it doesn’t overly smell like a Marc Jacobs and it’s actually one I could wear.. and ENJOY. I thought I’d share the OH’s view for balance. When I first sprayed it he yucked it and said it smelt like a sweet air freshener lol. An hour later he said ‘oh, you smell good’ and asked if I had sprayed a different perfume, didn’t believe me and was adamant that I was wearing the perfume I ‘use to wear ages ago’.. showed him the bottle of Olympea ‘yes, that one!’.. so it wasn’t just my nose. So I did spray a bit of Olympea on a mouillette.. they are very different but there is definitely a familiarity to the feel of them both in the dry down. Collection Status this was a sample. And I could actually see me considering this as a potential holiday perfume. It really is a surprisingly beautiful perfume. I’m also hoping my daughter can get over her hatred of banana and choose this as her next Marc

Once I tried a sample of this green Beauty, I knew I would buy the full bottle. And I did 🤭 I could not resist the cute tiny meadow on the lid 🥰 It is lovely. I wanted a perfume for spring and summer - light and fresh but not too grassy, sweet but airy, unique but not too complex since perfumes with too many ingredients make me sick in the hot weather. And finally I found Daisy Wild Intense 💓 I have never smelled banana flowers, therefore I cannot say whether this note is realistic or not. However, I can say that I can smell bananas, definitely. This is the fresh part right at the beginning. In a few minutes it's time for jasmine, blending nicely with the banana flower. And then you can enjoy the sweetness of the base notes. Musk is usually not my friend, and musk is all around 🤭 You can imagine how difficult it is for me to find a perfume without it. I really appreciate amber and sandalwood here. Wish this one lasts longer. In three hours it does not project anymore although I can still get some whiffs. Very expensive for that longevity, imho. Anyway, it's a big love 😍 Got a pretty compliment about how I smelled the very first time I wore it.

its an ok fragrance, initial Spray is quite violent and smells like sour apples. reminds me a lot of carolina herrera edp, the old one. Very much on the mj Decadence/perfect style kinda frag of big time florals. time is a flat circle indeed i did two more flights with this one before purchasing a bottle! disclaimer though - im a sucker for marc jacobs and his watery garbage, having missed my chance with his previous discontinued greats, these are my conclusions: reminds me of a variety of older perfumes also: guerlain terracota edp, maybe something by rochas?, vintage amarige, yvresse, like fully Bloomed gardenias in spring. Sandalwood is quite astringent on the background, the sweet floral-ambroxan note does last long. Not quite as frooty/clean/freshie as daisy wild, more floral and sweet indeed. on drydown it becomes somewhat greener cuz It has like a orange peel vibe prolly coming from the sandalwood. Its cute, I bought a 50ml bottle to replace black opium on my wardrobe edit: a month in, I like this one better than the regular Wild EDP, drydown is somewhat shampooey which is something I enjoy a lot in perfumes.

OH MY GOOOONESSS!!! I sprayed this 648 times in Ulta today, I kept going back :D Came home & ordered the 100 ML. I love the BANANA I get from this. I am surprised to come here & see "Banana Flower", b/c I am telling you, this is a banana scent at the start & I was IN LOVE. I cant tell you yet if it stays that way, b/c I was also smelling other things, but this won by a mile. It is gorgeous & perfect for spring & summer, it's right on time! I don't think I have ever sprayed a perfume before, not even knowing it even existed, or anything about it, and picked out the green banana out of the beautiful scent. This will be a staple in my collection from now on, b/c I have searched for this for years! FINALLY!!! I will come back & update after some good wear I smelled the original Daisy Wild & got NO bananas. Way different. After a few days of wear, I notice the Banana smell does mellow out ( or maybe I become nose blind to it) & beautiful candied springtime flowers appear. Almost smells like good clean scent of "Gain Island Fresh" washed clothes on the line outside & Jasmine blooming in the yard. . Well done!

This is a super fun, BIG, bright, happy fruity floral - it has kid with a giant grin eating banana laffy taffy hanging at the swimming pool energy - you canNOT be in a bad mood when wearing this! The first moments give you strong banana notes - a bit candied but more floral - not the full on banana candy Daisy Murakami Green gives. The banana doesn’t last long on me (which I’m fine with 😅), quickly evolving into a juicy fruity floral that smells a little like jasmine flowers mixed with apple flavored jolly ranchers (as the previous reviewer referenced - I could see getting Apple from this). Is this classy and mature? No, no. But heck, do we need to be all class all the time?! No thank you! I’m waaaaay beyond the teen years and I still greatly enjoy this playful, youthful scent profile - at least on occasion! Lasting power is akin to the whole Daisy line - not great, not terrible ; I do find this lingers a respectable number of hours at least and projects nicely for the first few hours. I’m excited to smell the next iteration: Daisy Wild eau so extra! 🍌🍌🥳
