The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Marc Jacobs and crafted by perfumers Maurice Roucel and Patricia Choux, Splash Orange is a vibrant citrus fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and energy. The scent opens with bright mandarin orange and bergamot, creating an invigorating burst of citrus, which is complemented by the green and aromatic notes of water mint and freesia. As it settles, white rose and musk introduce a warm, slightly sweet undertone that adds depth and complexity to the composition.
One to two sprays are sufficient as the citrus top notes are bright and project well. This fragrance pairs well with daytime activities, so it's best applied in the morning or early afternoon when its energy can shine through.
