You really got to hand it to Marc Jacobs. First, he makes amazing clothes, and his fragrances – and their gorgeous bottles – are so iconic. His fragrances are a bit different to his clothes, though – usually very sweet, innocent and fresh, and Daisy Eau So Fresh (don’t you love the name?!) is no different.
I was invited to the media launch of the fragrance a few weeks ago at Sentosa Cove (for those who don’t live in Singapore, Sentosa Cove is like the ‘elite’ area to live in, houses are millions upon millions of dollars there and it’s on the very exclusive Sentosa Island). So I have to admit, I was curious to see what the fuss is about Sentosa Cove. (And no offense, but it’s not my style – it’s too secluded, I’m a city girl!) Nevertheless, the event was held at a cozy cafe and we were treated to finger food (to which I ate, oh I don’t know, 30 helpings?!), special-blended mocktails for the event, and express manicures. It was a lovely afternoon, despite driving around like an idiot for over an hour, completely lost!
I was later given a complimentary bottle to try the fragrance out, though I already knew I liked the fragrance from the event! It is fresh – oh sorry, EAU SO FRESH – and light and feminine. I don’t normally like feminine scents but this… is feminine get grunge? You know Marc Jacobs! The ad campaign ‘describes’, if you will, the scent perfectly – pretty daises in a field in the middle of the day. Young, youthful, fresh and innocent. My only disappointment with it is that the scent has no staying power – two hours and the scent is long gone – so this tip to make fragrances last longer is necessary. Still, I really enjoy this scent and I know this is completely superficial, but a lot of the reason is because the bottle is amazing – it looks like a piece of art!
Have you tried Daisy Eau So Fresh yet? What did you think of it? I think I’ll also have to try out the original, and I’m still waiting to get my hands on Lola! (I have a bottle of it in London with my BFF, and I’m eagerly waiting to get my hands on it!)

What a fun event to attend! I have not gotten a chance to smell this new fragrance yet, but I can’t wait!
xx
You need to try it! So pretty.
To me it doesn’t matter how good the fragrance is if it doesn’t stay put. I really like it, but as you pointed out, it doesn’t last long.
Yeah, that really bums me out because it’s really beautiful and perfect other than that. Ugh! The Vaseline trick works, but it’s also an ‘extra’ step and who can be bothered when they are running out the door?!
I love Marc Jacobs’ perfumes! I have Daisy (the one in the black bottle) but I’ve tried the earlier version of Daisy as well as Lola! They were all great
BTW you look great in the pic Renee! Love the skull detail on your blazer
Aw, you’re a true MJ fan!
Can’t wait to try out Lola.
And thank you! That’s my favorite blazer, you should see the back of it – completely crazy designs!
Renee! You have gorgeous skin! So flawless.
Heh. I’m so distracted by your skin that I totally forgot abt the MJ perfume. Will give it a whiff soon when I get the chance.
Aw thank you, Nur! I am so glad my skin is back to normal after burning it with glycolic acid!
And def try it out – it’s really nice but if staying power is a problem for you, then this might not work.
So much fun!
Envious..
Glad you like the fragrance..
Thanks Suhana!
Hi Renee,
Love your blog having properly heard of you from your Urban debut =) i read through all back entries of your blog in a day! Haha.. and glad that we are fans of Clinique 3-step skincare. I also found you awfully familiar perhaps have read and seen your byline in mags.
oooohhh when i saw this so happy as I was awaiting the launch of this Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh in SG when I first read about in online. I like the original but not Love it. But somehow knew I’d love this Eau So Fresh version after reading of its release in the West. So is it out in SG stores yet?
Aw Narita you are so sweet!
Thank you, I am so glad you like my blog. And yes, I do freelance write, maybe you saw some of my articles?
And yes, I believe Daisy Eau So Fresh is out right now. It is GORGEOUS in real life, do try it out – just so bummed about the lasting power.

I love MJ! Got the lola and Daisy eau so fresh! I also plan to buy oh lola next! And a few of his bags and jewellery too! I work in the perfume shop and always try and get customers to try MJ fragrances as they are just the best! Gucci and dior are lush to but have nothing on this!! X
