Best Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfumes As Rated By Our Beauty Team
Since its launch back in 2007, Daisy has remained a firm favourite among fragrance lovers, continuing to be the brand's best-seller. The bottle alone is a thing of beauty. The lid is adorned with a gorgeous, oversized bouquet of daisies and has been perfectly perched atop my dressing table for years now.
It's no surprise, then, that Marc Jacobs has released numerous iterations of Daisy over the years. And you best believe there have been many. From limited-edition versions that lingered for just a single season, to long-term favourites that have become bona fide cult classics in their own right, the appetite for Daisy shows no sign of faltering. Just look to the recent viral status of the latest Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Intense Eau de Parfum Spray, £121.
Whether sweet and gourmand or light and floral, there's something to suit every taste in our curated edit of the best Marc Jacobs Daisy perfumes. They may each be unique, but rest assured, every one is infused with that signature, unmistakable hit of nostalgia.
Now whisper it- 'Daisy, Daisy, Daisy…' 1.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Intense Eau de Parfum Spray
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'If you're in search of a refreshing, floral fragrance that captures the feeling of a golden summer evening (think a delicious, countryside breeze and a crisp glass of wine in hand) then Daisy Wild Intense might just be the ticket - it's the latest addition to Daisy's repertoire and it's already been met with rave reviews. One spritz feels like an escape from London- which, when it's this muggy, I'm all about. A misting opens with bright notes of banana blossom, before unfurling into a cocktail of creamy jasmine and tuberose. There florals feel full-bodied and luxurious, yet never overpowering. There's then a warm, comforting base of amber and sandalwood, which lends a soft, woody richness. It's familiar, and almost nostalgic. There's a real comfort there. What really sets Daisy Wild Intense apart is its staying power- the clue, of course, is in the name. A light mist in the morning lingers gorgeously and still manages to reel in compliments come evening. If you're after a scent that feels both carefree and considered- this might just be your new summer staple.' Pros Long-lasting
Layers beautifully Cons If you like a more muted scent then this isn't for you 2.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet Eau de Toilette
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'If you're partial to a sweet, almost sugary scent then you'll likely find favour with Marc Jacob's Daisy Love Eau So Sweet. One spritz reveals pudding-worthy, gourmand notes of freshly picked white raspberries muddled together with delicate daisy petals. Then there's another unexpected layer- a mingling of honeyed sugar musks that takes things up an extra notch on the sweetness scale. I'll be teaming mine with a crisp, broderie dress. Sugary, girlish and romantic - it just makes sense.' Pros Ideal for those who like a sweet, floral scent
Currently on sale Cons May not be as long lasting as some of the other Daisy scents 3.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette
Price: $102
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'The original Marc Jacobs Daisy has developed a cult following that remains strong all these years later. Originally designed with younger girls in mind (but still worn by women- myself included), it's an instantly iconic spritz that works well no matter the season. It's fresh, airy, feminine, and youthful. It's clean, powdery and fresh. With notes of wild strawberry, red grapefruit, violet leaves, gardenia, jasmine, musk, vanilla, and white woods, this summery scent is ideal for first-time Marc Jacobs perfume buyers. Plus it's a scent that lingers beautifully - it's rare I can still smell something on my own skin by the end of the day. This always delivers.' Pros An ideal way into the Daisy perfume franchise
Great for every season Cons Has become a popular scent 4.
Daisy Marc Jacobs Daisy Glow Limited Edition Eau de Toilette
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'Sunshine in a bottle is a phrase bandied about the beauty industry far too often, but in my opinion, Daisy Glow truly embodies this sentiment. It brings together top notes of bright white strawberry, gentle violet, and vibrant marigold, grounded by base notes of warm white woods and comforting vanilla. There's even a hint of Parma Violets in there too which gives it that edge of nostalgia. And a moment, please, for the bottle. Unsurprisingly given Marc Jacobs' track record, it's as beautiful as they come. Expect a sunny yellow glass bottle topped with a smattering of crisp white and vibrant pink flowers. Fresh, floral, and fun- you simply can't go wrong.' Pros Vibrant, summery packaging Cons Limited edition - will sell out 5.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh Eau de Parfum for Women
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'Soft florals and sun-soaked citrus is the order of the day where Daisy Ever So Fresh is concerned. Brighter and less sugary than previous Marc Jacobs scents (again, the clue was in the name) this one manages to feel both refreshing and crisp. Notes of mandarin, mango and pineapple settle onto skin beautifully, uplifted by the light, but comforting mesh of rosewater. The result is one of the more sophisticated Daisy offerings - it makes a statement, certainly, but isn't overpowering making it perfect for daily wear. My only gripe? It isn't as long lasting as other iterations, so a top up or two might be necessary.' Pros Cons 6.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever Eau de Parfum
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'For a deeper, more sultry take on Daisy, look to Dream. Blackberry, blue wisteria and white woods create a cosseting warmth, while grapefruit, pear heart and lychee provide an energising lift. Admittedly, the initial spritz doesn't feel particularly luxurious- it reminds me, ever so slightly, of the body spray I used to wear at school. Not unpleasant, per se, but not quite what you might expect either. Still, you'd be foolish not to let it settle. The dry-down is where Dream truly shines. It becomes subtle, soft, and effortlessly luxurious. I'd say this is the most unique of the Daisy range and it works beautifully for the evening thanks to that depth.' Pros Long lasting
Deeper take on classic Daisy - more long lasting Cons If you're loyal to uniformity, you likely won't favour the departure from the usual lid
Smells better after dry down 7.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau de Toilette
Rachael Martin, beauty director says: 'Cloudberries, daisy petals, driftwood and cashmere combine for a deeper, muskier, and altogether earthier take on the classic Daisy scent. The original powdery-ness remains, but this one has an extra layer of depth encouraged by the muddle of warming woods. I'd reach for this as the weather gets colder - it feels more elevate and intense.' Pros A strong, long lasting scent that isn't overpowering Cons If it's the sweetness of Daisy you like, this errs on the woodier side

The health and beauty retailer is offering a set of Versace fragrances at an unbeatable price. The Versace Womens Mini Set 2020 includes four bottles of the brand's most popular scents, with fragrances perfect for casual daytime wear and others more suited for evening events. The set contains a bottle of Bright Crystal, Crystal Noir, Dylan Purple and Dylan Blue. Although the bottles are each 5ml, the scents should last up to 60 sprays, allowing you to sample the different fragrances without splashing out hundreds of pounds on full-size bottles of each scent. The mini set usually retails for £30, but shoppers can grab it on sale for £25 at Superdrug. Those who make their purchase through TopCashback can secure it for less than £10, a process that may seem daunting, but is free, straightforward and very easy to do. New Superdrug customers and new members of TopCashback will receive a free £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback on the purchase. This reduces the cost of the perfume set to £9.17 after all discounts have been applied, reports, reports Yorkshire Live. Another way to look at it is that each bottle costs approximately £2.29. To secure the deal, all you need to do is make your purchase through this uniqu e link. First up in the collection is Crystal Noir, an oriental-floral fragrance that blends creamy coconut, spicy pepper, and lush gardenia with warm amber and sandalwood for a sensual, mysterious allure. Housed in a striking faceted black bottle, it's hailed as a 'bold and long-lasting' scent ideal for evening wear. Arguably Versace's most beloved perfume, the second fragrance in the set, Bright Crystal, is a fresh and feminine floral scent. It opens with vibrant notes of yuzu, pomegranate, and icy accords, followed by a heart of magnolia, peony and lotus flower. Its base notes of amber, musk and mahogany create a delicate, sparkling aroma perfect for everyday wear. Next in line is Dylan Purple, which showcases citrus notes and delicate florals, crafting a scent that's ideal for casual wear. It features top notes of bitter orange, pear juice and bergamot, while the heart and base notes blend elements like freesia and cedar to create a creamy and lasting dry down. Completing the collection is Dylan Blue, a lively perfume that merges fruity, floral and woody notes. It has top notes of blackcurrant sorbet, Granny Smith apple and clover, paired with heart notes of rose, petalia and peach. The base notes of patchouli, white smooth woods and musk lay a warm and sensual foundation. Meanwhile, customers can bag a 50ml bottle of Gucci Bamboo for Her Eau de Parfum with a 40% discount, now £54 down from £90. Over at Debenhams, shoppers can snap up a 100ml bottle of Honey by Marc Jacobs for £41, instead of the usual £99. Back at Superdrug, the Versace Womens Mini Set has garnered an impressive star-rating of 4.6 out of five from over a dozen customer reviews. One chuffed customer remarked: "Great deal on mini perfumes from Versace, beautiful collectible bottles." Another reviewer observed: "Each one of these four mini Versace perfumes are beautiful and a great price. A third noted a different opinion: "I have been wearing this for over a week now and am not really impressed with it. Usually a really good perfume will last all day. By evening this has worn off. I think it is way overpriced for what you get."

This Cult Classic Bronzer Is The Best I've Ever Used
Bronzer, oh how I love thee! Out of everything in my make-up bag, nothing transforms my skin quite like it. As someone with a perpetually grey-toned complexion (the joys of being Irish), I take real joy in its transformative powers. Just a light sweep across the apples of my cheeks, the bridge of my nose and into the hairline is enough to pep up my skin beautifully. Find a good one and I look like I've spent the morning basking in the Med as opposed to fighting for my life on the Victoria line. As a beauty editor, I've tried more than my fair share of bronzers. Westman Atelier's Glow Drops promised 'instant summer skin' and they really delivered. And of course, like every other beauty journalist, I'm loyal to Chanel's iconic cream bronzer- the one every make-up artist under the sun swears by. In recent years, liquid and cream bronzers have definitely reigned supreme with powders seemingly taking a bit of a back seat. But when I spotted a rise in Google searches for a certain classic this morning- Guerlain's- I was reminded there's still a rightful place for a bronzing powder. Especially one as revered as Guerlain's. This is, after all, the brand that put tanning powders on the map when it launched Terracotta in 1984. It became an instant best-seller. So naturally, I decided this was the perfect time to become reacquainted with an old classic. But in a world of new launches all claiming to be the best - does it still live up to the hype? It delivers 'a true-to-skin bronzed glow.' Designed to make light work of dialling up the bronze, it's infused with luminescent shimmer pigments to provide that elusive lit-from-within radiance. There are skincare benefits too- like nourishing Moroccan argan oil, which adds moisture and keeps skin hydrated over time. 1. Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder Rachael Martin, beauty editor says: 'The texture is beautiful. It's soft and silky with a velvety quality. It blends with ease and makes building up the product feel effortless. For me, the finish hits that rare sweet spot between matte and luminous. And let me be clear- I loathe glitter in face products. Nothing is more unflattering, and why brands insist in putting chunks of it in formulas is beyond me. Thankfully, this has just a whisper of of the stuff- the subtlest gleam that catches the light beautifully. Sunlit in the morning, candlelit by evening. Stunning.' Pros Buildable colour Made with hydrating ingredients Long-lasting Cons The biggest risk with powdered products is dropping them - don't! An investment buy In my experience, Guerlain's Terracotta Bronzing Powder works best when paired with a large, fluffy brush. I dip in lightly, tap off any excess, and sweep it over the high points of the face where the sun would naturally hit. It's richly pigmented, so a light hand is key. If I want to tie the look together and go full bronze goddess (what can I say, I'm my own hype woman), I take a smaller fluffy brush and sweep it across my eyelids too. This creates the most beautiful, cohesive warmth. Rachael Martin, Beauty Director, says: 'Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! First off, the practicality. After years of battling with bronzers without mirrors, the joy of having one built into this compact cannot be overstated. It makes on-the-go application a dream. The compact itself is a thing of beauty, too. It's a rich, transparent brown subtly embossed with the Guerlain logo - it's all incredibly chic, and I'm already excited about nonchalantly taking it out of my bag. My first impression of the formula? It's pigmented. Very pigmented. Just the lightest touch gives a deep, warm glow, so take your time and build it slowly. That's when I see the best results. The texture is beautiful too. It's soft and silky with a velvety quality. It blends with ease and makes building up the product feel effortless. For me, the finish hits that rare sweet spot between matte and luminous. And let me be clear- I loathe glitter in face products. Nothing is more unflattering, and why brands insist in putting chunks of it in formulas is beyond me. Thankfully, this has just a whisper of of the stuff- the subtlest gleam that catches the light beautifully. Sunlit in the morning, candlelit by evening. Stunning. This is a cult classic for good reason - and not just because it looks chic in my handbag. Crucially, the finish looks like a natural tan - a my skin but better radiance. Guerlain has proven why it remains golden (quite literally) all these years later. Rachael Martin is Grazia's Beauty Director.

I bought this perfume over a year ago now since I smelt it on many people and I couldn't resist not asking them what it is as it smells absolutely amazing. "It is such a feminine scent and is very strong which means a little goes a long way as it lasts all day." Shoppers can purchase the Muglier Alien perume here.
