Marc Jacobs Daisy on a budget

Saturday 30 August 2014


I have always loved Marc Jacobs fragrances, however the price tag can sometimes be slightly off putting. Primark is the last place I would usually go to when in search of a new perfume, however after stumbling upon their new range in the make up section, I decided to give them a go. As soon as I sprayed this one, I knew that it was coming home with me.
I am absolutely terrible at describing perfumes, so here is how Primark describe it: "Innocent daisy and sweet lily of the valley combine deliciously with a mouth watering crush of green apples and juicy pear"
It is extremely similar to the original Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume, however it is only £2 in comparison to Marc Jacobs' eye wateringly expensive price tag of £50. Even the design of the packaging is very close to MJs perfumes. The box this perfume comes in reminds me a lot of the packaging for Dot (it does actually have yellow dots on the side, it just can't be seen on the picture). It also has a great staying power, I have found that it stays for at least 4-5 hours before I need to think about topping up.
I chose to go for the roller-ball over the bottle purely so that I can throw it in my school bag without taking up valuable textbook space. It is also makeup bag friendly as when out of the box it takes up next to no space.
If floral perfumes aren't really your thing, Primark are selling at least 4 or 5 other perfumes, so if this one doesn't suit your fancy, I'm sure there will be one there that does.

  7. I have worked in The Perfume Shop for the past 2 Christmas' and everytime I would go into work, I would spray the Daisy perfume! I do agree, it is definitely very pricey but is so nice. Had no idea Primark sold perfumes! Going to have to try it out... Love the post! xx

    1. I do absolutely love Daisy, I have Eau So Fresh and it is unbelievable! I'd say this Primark one is a good compact handbag one xx

  8. If we had a Primark in the US, I would go out and get this! I was just thinking how lovely Daisy smelled the other day but was so off put by the price tag :(

    1. You could always try buying a roller ball version of the actual Daisy perfume, in the UK it is really difficult to find Marc Jacobs rollerballs xx
