Marc Jacobs Daisy is one fragrance that has been released as twenty variations. The original EDT launched in 2007. Since then: Daisy Dream, Daisy Love, Daisy Eau So Fresh, and a rotating series of limited editions that change every year. Most buyers come here looking for one specific Daisy. This guide identifies which one. All genuine, original retail packaging, at prices below department store retail.
Every Marc Jacobs fragrance at PerfumeBox ships in original retail packaging with the batch code intact. We source through authorised distributors only. The savings on gift sets and full bottles are consistent against department store pricing.
"I smelled this scent on a friend, and loved it! Did a little research and found this AMAZING deal, I was a little sceptical. And then it came... New in box and 100% authentic! This is my new perfume go to." Dawna Smylie, verified PerfumeBox buyer
The 4-piece variety mini gift set is the most practical entry point for buyers who want to test multiple Daisy variants before committing to a full bottle.
The top four positions are the four core Daisy fragrances. Positions 5 through 10 are Daisy gift sets, limited editions, and seasonal variants. Perfect at position 6 is the strongest non-Daisy fragrance on the list.
Daisy, Daisy Dream, Daisy Love, and Daisy Eau So Fresh are four separate fragrances built around a connected aesthetic, not four versions of the same formula. They share the light, feminine, low-projection character of the original but differ in character and occasion.
| Fragrance | Feels Like | Best For |
| Daisy EDT | Freshly cut flowers, clean skin | Year-round daily wear |
| Daisy Dream EDT | Soft fruit, a slightly drowsy morning | When Daisy feels too sharp |
| Daisy Love EDT | Warm skin, a scent that's already yours | Cooler months, close-contact wear |
| Daisy Eau So Fresh EDT | Light citrus on a warm afternoon | Summer, situations where less is better |
| Daisy Love Eau So Sweet EDT | Cotton candy, sweet and playful | Younger wearers, very sweet preference |
Daisy EDT is the anchor. It's the one that has been in continuous production since 2007 and the one most buyers mean when they say "Marc Jacobs Daisy." The seasonal variants (Sunshine, Kiss, Daze, Sorbet, Twinkle) rotate around this same clean, accessible character with slight adjustments each year.
A useful way to think about the quartet: Daisy EDT is the standard. Dream is what you choose when Daisy feels slightly too sharp. Love is what you choose when you want something warmer on skin. Eau So Fresh is what you choose when you want Daisy to almost disappear.
Launched in 2007 and still the bestselling Marc Jacobs fragrance at PerfumeBox. Violet leaf and strawberry up front, gardenia and jasmine in the heart, vanilla and white musk at the base. Light, clean, unmistakably feminine. Projection is deliberately low, which is consistent with the Daisy family's character across all variants. It sits close to skin and lasts 4 to 6 hours on most skin types.
The bottle design, white with daisies on the cap, is one of the most recognised fragrance designs of the past 20 years. It also makes it one of the most gifted fragrances in its price tier.
"I love my Marc Jacobs Daisy! One of my most favorite classic fragrances! It lasts all day and it smells so fresh throughout all seasons! This is a year round fragrance so it's a very broad fragrance for the seasons." Maureen Dreese, verified PerfumeBox buyer
Blackberry, grapefruit, and pear on the opening. Jasmine and lychee in the heart. White musk and orris at the base. Softer and more blueberry-fruity than the original Daisy. The dry-down is cleaner, more powdery, and closer to bare skin than any other variant in the quartet.
Dream is the fragrance that Daisy wearers discover after wearing the original for a season and realising something was almost right. The violet in Daisy EDT is what most people are reacting to without knowing it: it gives the opening a slight sharpness that Dream removes entirely. What replaces it is quieter and less structured. Buyers who have worn the original for years and want something that feels less like a fragrance and more like a skin quality tend to move here and stay. It's not a simpler fragrance than Daisy. It's a more recessive one. The people who suit it tend to prefer their fragrance to be noticed only at close range, not announced.
Cloudberry and grapefruit open fresh and citrus-forward. Cashmere musk and driftwood give the heart and base a warm, skin-like quality. The softest and warmest of the four core Daisy fragrances. Where Daisy EDT reads as freshly applied, Daisy Love settles into skin like a scent that's already yours.
The buyer who chooses Love over the original is usually making a seasonal decision or a weather decision, not a loyalty decision. In autumn and winter, when Daisy EDT can feel slightly weightless, Love provides the same clean aesthetic with enough warmth in the base to feel deliberate. It's also the Daisy that wears well in an office setting. Low projection, no sharp top-note phase, nothing that overstays in an enclosed space. The cashmere musk base gives it a finish that reads as expensive in a way the original doesn't quite reach.
"I bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. She said it was the best gift she got and when she wore it to work she got so many compliments." Angela Rakestraw, verified PerfumeBox buyer
The lightest of the core quartet. Raspberry, apple, and rose up front, peach and violet in the heart, cedarwood and musks at the base. Specifically built for summer and situations where the original Daisy might read too heavy. Longevity is modest at 3 to 4 hours, reflecting the lightweight formulation.
"This fragrance is simply beautiful!! It is light but long lasting, it surprisingly lingers and I am complimented." Divine Whyte, verified PerfumeBox buyer
"Every time my daughter walks into a room she receives tons of compliments from this perfume. She wanted a signature scent so I asked around to see what teens like these days and this one just so happens to be a favorite with all of her friends." Elizabeth Duke, verified PerfumeBox buyer
Most fragrance launches peak in their second year and fade. Daisy launched in 2007 and is still the top-selling fragrance at PerfumeBox's Marc Jacobs collection in 2026. That's unusual enough to be worth explaining.
The bottle helps. The white cap with embedded daisies is one of the most instantly recognisable fragrance designs in designer perfumery. It photographs well, it reads as a considered gift without the box, and it hasn't changed. People who received it as a gift in 2009 can still find the same bottle in 2026.
But the more interesting reason is that Daisy never chased trends. When fragrance moved toward heavier orientals, Daisy stayed clean. When gourmands dominated, Daisy stayed floral. When niche pushed toward challenging materials, Daisy stayed accessible. It became the fragrance that didn't need to evolve because it was never trying to be current. It was just trying to smell like fresh flowers on clean skin, and that requirement doesn't expire.
The seasonal flankers (Sunshine, Kiss, Sorbet, Twinkle) serve a different function. They give loyal Daisy wearers something new to try without asking them to leave the Daisy world. Most come back to the original.
Marc Jacobs releases new Daisy variants almost annually. Some are direct flankers of the original. Others sit within the Dream or Love sub-families. Current availability at PerfumeBox includes:
Daisy Sunshine EDT: A brightened, citrus-forward take on the original. Better for summer than the standard Daisy EDT.
Daisy Kiss EDT: Slightly sweeter than the original, with a cherry-like quality in the opening. One of the more distinctive of the seasonal variants.
Daisy Love Eau So Sweet EDT: A very sweet interpretation of Daisy Love. Vanilla and cotton candy forward. The sweetest fragrance in the entire lineup.
Daisy Eau So Fresh Daze EDT: A version of Daisy Eau So Fresh with a more dreamy, slightly smoky character layered in.
Daisy Dream Sunshine EDT: A brighter, more citrus-led version of Daisy Dream. Better suited to summer than the original Dream.
Launched in 2020 and the #6 bestseller across the entire Marc Jacobs collection at PerfumeBox. Rhubarb, daffodil, and almond on the opening, cedarwood and peony in the heart, cashmeran and white musk at the base. The rhubarb gives it a tart, slightly unusual freshness in the first fifteen minutes. Most people aren't expecting tart rhubarb from a Marc Jacobs fragrance, and that surprise is part of what makes it work. The almond softens it quickly, and by the time it reaches the dry-down, cashmeran pulls it into a warm, clean skin quality that wears easily for 6 to 8 hours.
Perfect sits in a completely different lane from Daisy. Where Daisy is a recognised feminine floral built around an iconic bottle, Perfect has a more structured personality. The tart-to-almond-to-cashmeran progression has a logic to it that feels considered rather than casual. It works across seasons in a way that most Daisy variants don't: cool enough for summer, warm enough for autumn, restrained enough for office wear.
The buyer who ends up with Perfect usually started elsewhere. They tried a Daisy variant, found it too soft or too sweet, and were recommended Perfect as the Marc Jacobs fragrance for people who don't usually wear Marc Jacobs. The 5.0-star rating on PerfumeBox reflects a buyer who made a deliberate choice rather than a sentimental one.
A richer, warmer version of Perfect. The almond note is more prominent, the base is deeper. Better for cooler months and evenings when the lighter Perfect would sit too quietly. The rhubarb opening is slightly reduced, which gives it a more conventional entry but a more developed dry-down.
Pink pepper, red berries, and honeysuckle up front, coconut and jasmine in the heart, driftwood and vanilla at the base. The most playful fragrance in the lineup. Lighter than Decadence, more distinctive than Daisy. Good for buyers who want something in the Marc Jacobs aesthetic but with a more tropical character.
Pear, mandarin, and honey up front, peach blossom and orange blossom in the heart, vanilla and musks at the base. Sweet, warm, approachable. For buyers who like the warmth in Daisy Love but want it more prominent throughout.
Iris, plum, and saffron up front, Bulgarian rose and jasmine in the heart, papyrus, liquid amber, and vetiver at the base. The most serious and distinctive fragrance in the Marc Jacobs lineup. Rich, oriental, built for evenings. The only Marc Jacobs fragrance that announces itself. Buyers who find the Daisy family too light often land here.

Both are light, transparent, widely accessible fragrances with low projection and close-to-skin character. CK One is unisex and leans green-tea fresh. Daisy is feminine-positioned and leans floral-clean. Both have been continuous sellers for over a decade. CK One is the more neutral of the two and genuinely wearable by any gender. Daisy is specifically feminine in intent and character. The distinction isn't really about strength or occasion. CK One is the fragrance that's not supposed to be noticed as a fragrance. Daisy is the fragrance that's supposed to be recognised as Daisy. These are different goals, and the buyer usually knows which one they're after before they've read a single description.
Both are modern feminine fragrances with fruity characters and low projection. Burberry Her leads with red berries and settles into a clean, slightly powdery musk. Daisy Love leads with cloudberry and settles into a cashmere-driftwood base that reads warm rather than fresh. The distinction is in the dry-down: Her finishes clean and almost soapy. Daisy Love finishes warm and skin-close. Buyers choosing between them are usually deciding whether they want a fragrance that finishes neutral or one that finishes like it belongs there.
Both are richer, more assertive women's fragrances in lineups otherwise known for lighter options. Gucci Guilty for women is spicier with patchouli and amber driving the base. Decadence is darker and more floral-oriental, with saffron and Bulgarian rose giving it a more complex character. Decadence projects more and lasts longer. For buyers who want the most statement-making fragrance from either brand, Decadence is the stronger choice.
Marc Jacobs gift sets are among the most reliably received gifts at PerfumeBox. The Daisy 3-piece and 2-piece sets hold 5.0-star ratings. The Daisy Dream gift sets and Daisy Love gift sets cover the softer and warmer Daisy variants in the same complete-gift format.
