The story behind the bottle.
Crafted by perfumer Carlos Viñals and launched in 2006, Marc Jacobs Splash Cotton is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of fresh cotton mingled with subtle powdery and woody notes. The composition opens with vibrant citrus fruits like bergamot and mandarin orange, which give way to the softness of white peach and lavender. At its heart, it features the delicate scent of lily-of-the-valley and cotton flower, while a musky base of sandalwood and white suede ensures that this fragrance remains close to the skin yet enduring.
Apply two sprays for a balanced presence — the citrus opening is bright but fleeting, while the powdery woods and musky base notes provide a gentle warmth that lasts throughout the day. Ideal for daytime wear, where its understated elegance shines through.
