Marc Jacobs introduces three new limited edition Splash Scents this spring in APPLE, POMEGRANATE, and BISCOTTI , inspired by the decadent indulgences of a Paris Patisserie. (Duh! I suppose saying you're inspired by a Stockholm or Belgrade patiserrie doesn't quite cut it with fragoholics, eh? Anyway...)
MARC JACOBS APPLEDeliciously fruity, apple is aromatic and energizing, built around a green apple impression full of freshness. Developed by Yann Vasnier of Givaudan, tart yet refreshing apple juice opens with juicy apple, lemon and grapefruit. The unexpected surprise of rosemary, jasmin and soft stellata magnolia playfully join in. At last, warm driftwood, coriander and cardamom gently delight. The crisp green tint reflects summer's breezy, garden-fresh color palette.

MARC JACOBS POMEGRANATEInspired by the sparkling radiance of this fruit of myth pomegranate exudes an inviting balance of elegance and brightness.
Created by Perfumer Patty Hidalgo of Fragrance Resources, the fruity floral fragrance invigorates with an blend of mandarin flowers, bergamot, and lemon chiffon, rhubarb and violet mix with uplifting pomegranate. The dry down is a sugared musk with a blend of vanilla, and amber.
The corresponding pink tint is a hint to the fruit.

MARC JACOBS BISCOTTISavory aroma and a touch of citrus for the most gourmand of the lot of these limited editions. Crisp yet also comforting and refreshing.
Developed by Richard Herpin of Firmenich, this citrus floral treat opens with the freesia, bergamont and orange flower, the heart of pistachio blossom imparts a sweet richness while creamy and soft vanilla add balance and a smooth softness.
The warm golden tint is reminiscent of a crisp biscotto.

For the nine-squillionth time - I do not wish to smell like cookies!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSS,
ReplyDeletetell me about it!!!
We're probably in some underrated minority or else they know something we don't?
I was dubious but tried the apple and pomegranate just today (couldn't manage the biscotti - like StyleSpy, I do not want to smell like a cookie!)
ReplyDeleteThe Apple was surprisingly lovely. It is crisp and fresh without smelling like an apple (to me, anyway). It's like the 'idea' of a Granny Smith. Very tart and refreshing. I think it will be a big hit for them this summer.
Can't say much about the pomegranate - was too focused on the apple. Sorry!
xoA
I dunno I do like biscotti an awful lot- perhaps it would be nice room spray?
ReplyDeleteA,
ReplyDeletedon't say!! Now you have me wanting it for hot days.
K,
ReplyDeletenothing wrong with using something as a room spray if the scent pleases. In fact several of the fragrances with culinary themes would be great as room sprays in general, so...maybe try it that way?
