Marc Jacobs Dot Eau de Parfum - 50 ml

Product Information

Though in general I like Marc Jacob's perfumes I have a really big problem with how expensive his fragrances are as their longevity isn't that great. The disappointment is that it doesn't last extremely long on skin, if you want this to last longer, it definitely does when sprayed on clothes. Top notes of the new fragrance DOT incorporate red berries combined with pitaya fruit, known also as dragon fruit.

Then it meshes with my chemistry and pulls red fruits and berries and turns very linear and generic with no base or middle notes. The top note captivates with a delectable blend of red berries, succulent dragon fruit, and sweet honeysuckle. It is a mature version of Ralph and Be Delicious , with a gentle touch of red berries, and a balanced mixture of jasmine as well as other other floral scents. Marc Jacobs Dot bottle's signature is the oversized cap featuring butterfly wings and a polka dot ball centre. If anyone has an empty bottle and they would be willing to send me the little sprayer cap thingy, I would be overjoyed!My boyfriend (who bought me this) was able to tell it was me walking into the room without turning around, based on scent alone. It should put her at ease, rather than wearing big complicated classics and if nothing else at least she will have a nice bottle to show or compliment her room.

The juice (Dot especially) leaves me feeling hollow, slightly nauseated, and questioning where the mistranslation happened between the magical exterior and average at best contents of the bottle.I know that this won't be for everybody due to individual chemistry and Marc Jacobs should stop the assembly line for a short minute ( I won't ever forgive him for Decadence-EVER! The initial spray is fresh and fruity, I can smell the dragon fruit and coconut, and shortly after it ventures into playful juicy white florals that do feel cheerfully feminine. Dot is decidedly more tropical, with a papaya note to start(I guess that is the dragonfruit, its melon-like) All in the MJ family have white flowers in the application and the heart, and a warming base that anchors the light-hearted head notes of the fragrance.

I get the flowers in the dry down, but they smell somewhat artificial (reminds me of one of those Avon perfumes for kids). I always thought that it was light to the point where only I can smell it on myself, but I was very wrong.In late high school, I remember the girl with the locker beside mine having an array of Marc Jacobs perfumes that she would cycle through. I prefer this style bottle to the larger ones, they seem so clunky to me and aren't the most user friendly. This is young and girly, the bottle is a big clue to that, fun and fruity, but sensible enough to not overdo it. Then the woodsy note is too strong and happens too early so it smells like a damp cardboard box--less fruity fresh and more pulpy.

Es muy básico pero no le quita que es un perfume muy bonito tanto en empaque como en notas y aromas. I feel like they are pushing these more exotic-sounding notes to distract their consumers from what a bland and commonplace fragrance it really is. It's not too disturbing, not really a safe one, but tamed enough so that if someone wears it in reasonable amounts it won't choke you.

After some time, you can smell a hint of the coconut, but at first you get a whiff of sweet berries with floral splashes. This kinda of reminds me of your typical tropical fruity celebrity fragrance but with better longevity and silage.
