Daisy is light, powdery and gently fruity, with violet leaf giving it a green edge that stops the strawberry reading as candy. It is the sort of fragrance people describe as "clean" and mean as a compliment.
Modest projection makes it a good choice for offices, classrooms and warm weather. The Eau So Fresh flanker is brighter and more citrusy. A long-running favourite for teenagers and a frequent first-perfume gift in Australia.
Best for: First perfumes, spring days and understated wear.
The opening — what you smell in the first fifteen minutes.
The core character, emerging after roughly half an hour.
The dry-down that lingers on skin and fabric.
Daisy suits everyday casual and office & work. Its subtle intensity means you can apply generously; four or five sprays sits comfortably close to the skin.
Expect roughly 5-7 hours on skin with soft to moderate projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
It performs best in spring and summer. It holds up well in genuine heat, which makes it a sensible choice for summer in any Australian capital.
It is marketed for women, but fragrance has no rules — the floral character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.
Approximately $95 - $140 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
