Marc Jacobs Perfume

Marc Jacobs interprets Gardenia. Marc Jacobs Perfume maintains the fundamental aspects of all Marc Jacob's designs. It's classic, luxurious, and comfortingly feminine. The scent is both sensuous and uncomplicated, complementing the wearer without overwhelming her.Notes:Gardenia, Wild Muguet, Skin Musk, Cedar, Ginger.Style:A blend that is lush and watery at once.

I love Mark Jacobs perfume.
A feminine fragrance.
I love the smell of gardenia, but over powering.

This was always in my medicine cabinet for YEARS. I divorced it for another perfume out of boredom. It is the jeans of the perfume world.

Quick Take: fresh, light, clean, elegant, longlasting, subtle
I like to sample different perfumes, but always come back to this one. A lot of people comment on it, saying that I 'smell nice' and that its very light. It also ages on the skin really well through the day-it smells as great at night as it does when I put it on. Its very fresh, neutral, and elegant-I absolutely love it and haven't found anything more pleasant and refreshing. I just wish they made other products that matched!

5 years later and still loving it!
-01.02.13
I wore this perfume for a few years and adored it!!! Perfect marriage of sweet and floral without being too overwhelming!!!!! One spray goes a long way!
I was in a huge budget crisis so I did not replace it for about two years... Well, I bought it for myself this past Christmas and I can honestly say it is just as lovely as I remember...perhaps even better... Very true that distance makes the heart (or nose) grow finder.

My signature scent
-11.16.12
Quick Take: long lasting perfume
I absolutely love this perfume. I went perfume shopping with one of my friend. After smelling this one, I totally fell in love and put some on me. Two hours later, while we were still shopping, I loved the smell even more, so I went back to the store and bought it.
My only problem with it is the bottle; it's cute, but really not practicle to carry around. I recently moved and even though the bottle was in a plastic bag inside another bag, it leaked a lot and all my clothes ended up smelling like this.

When you want to feel pretty
-09.26.12
Quick Take: rollerball is great - wish it was till available
...put on Marc Jacobs perfume. Its scent is lovely and feminine and I always feel wonderful when I wear it. I was lucky enough to get it in a rollerball a while back, and I wear it almost every day. While the scent doesn't scream at me all day, I can still smell it on my wrists 8 hours after I put it on. I'm quite sure that someone who was close enough to snuggle would have no problem picking up the scent. And really, no one likes to be near someone who is drenched in some really strong fragrance, no matter how nice it is. Better to be able to just catch a subtle whiff of something beautiful and wonder what it is.

My brother got me Marc Jacobs in 2004. I loved it then and I still love it now. It's my signature fragrance and something I continue to purchase when I run out because it's just that amazing.

My fav scent but doesn't last
-09.17.12
Quick Take: doesn't last long, smells great
This is my favorite perfume and I've bought it few times. But it doesn't last long at all. I have to re-spray at least 1-2 times a day if I want to smell like this scent. It's pretty disappointing considering it's my fav smell. I'm going to look for a different brand that smells similar but lasts much longer.

Quick Take: an everyday morning or night winter spring summe
this Marc Jacob scent reminds me of an old scent from back in the day called Sand & Sable it had the same musk and cedar notes. When ever I wear this scent every one always compliments how good I smell.

Marc Jacobs Perfume
-07.16.12
Quick Take: beautiful scent, attractive bottle, sophisticated
I originally purchased the MJ Hair gloss in this fragrance from a discount store. I absolutely loved it and was trying to purchase it from Sephora, but alas, it has been discontinued, so I bought the perfume instead. I love the fragrance, gardenias, but unless there is something wrong with the bottle I received, it has no staying power. My husband who hates scent, and always notices when I spray something on, has said nothing. My daughter noticed it after i just sprayed it on and thought it was wonderful, but she had to admit she never smelled it before on me, even though I have been wearing it for a month. I wish it were available in a real perfume, perhaps then it would have some staying power

Ah-mazing scent!
-06.20.12
Quick Take: fantabulous!
I think this scent is just gorgeous! It is sexy, clean, yet subdued at the same time. The only thing I can whine about would be that I do wish that it would be just a tad stronger, or last longer... If I could bathe in this- I would!

Classic
-06.14.12
This is a beautiful classic perfume, modern Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I would get a small purse size as well as it does fade and you will want to refresh later in the day.
