Marc Jacobs is my absolute favourite brand for fragrances. I have or have run out of all of the big ones (Daisy, Daisy Eau So Fresh, Lola and Oh, Lola!) and rarely steer away from them, so I was really excited when Dot was released!
Dot by Marc Jacobs is described as a 'sophisticated yet happy-go-lucky' fragrance which, as cringe as it sounds, I can certainly agree with. It has top notes of red berries, dragonfruit and honeysuckle, heart notes of jasmine, coconut water and orange blossom and base notes of driftwood, musk and vanilla. I really love how the scent is really fresh and bright upon first spritz but dries down more grown-up and sensual, so it's ideal to wear day to night.
Another thing I really like about this fragrance is obviously the beautiful bottle! The design takes inspiration from Marc's love of polka dots, and the 'creature' on top seems to be some kind of butterfly ladybird hybrid. Pretty!
Overall this scent is right up my street and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh, fruity and girly fragrance. I've read that some find it sickly but personally I don't. Definitely give it a go next time you visit a perfume store!
What's your favourite perfume? Have you tried Dot yet? What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!
it smells sooooo nice!! im a big fan off all marc jacobs purfumes!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite perfume is either Chanel Chance or Oh Lola! by Marc - I've never owned a Chanel one myself and always used to steal my mum's and now it's run out I'm desperate to get my hands on it aaah. Really want to try this too, love the bottle x
ReplyDeleteI smelled it last week and it's definitely on my wishlist, so fresh and girly! x
ReplyDeleteI love this perfume, it's gorgeous! I need to buy it :) x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely perfume and I love other Marc Jacobs perfumes so I'll probably give this a go! Plus the bottle is adorable.

Its so fancy. The bottle is an eye catcher for sure. I am not overly keen on the scent. But the lady said it really calms down in the skin. So maybe i need to give it a proper test. I really want to like it
ReplyDeleteI adore Marc Jacobs perfumes so much they are always a winner. I bottle of Lola has run out which is pretty convenient so I can switch to this now!

I tried this last time I was in debenhams, loved it like I love all the other marc jacobs! I think the daisy fragrances are my favourites. I love the bottle and the packaging of dot, its so different! :)
ReplyDeleteI had a sniff and it wasn't really for for, I'm not a fan of the bottle either- makes it so hard to carry in a bag! My favourite scent is Armani Code, I love it for winter and summer :)

ReplyDeleteI love Marc Jacobs perfumes too :) Daisy and Daisy Eau So Fresh are my two favourites, plus Vera Wang's Princess (bit of a sucker for a pretty girly bottle) - Dot is on my to-try-next list though!

Woow what a very very cute flacon *_* i love the design. i hope it smells so good too :)
ReplyDeleteLovley greets
Daisy is my ultimate favourite, the edp version because it lasts longer. All Marc Jacobs perfumes have the most gorgeous bottles xx
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt say it is a sophisticated bottle but it is fun and does smell good. I keep mine in a drawer! Each to their own though ;)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to try this, I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs' perfumes and I've sprayed this in duty-free and loved it X
ReplyDeleteI haven't smelled this yet but I am not a fan of the bottle to be honest. I do like their other perfumes and packaging though
