The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Perfect by Marc Jacobs was launched in 2020, crafted by perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with the bright freshness of rhubarb and almond milk, creating a contrast that is both crisp and comforting. The heart notes of narcissus bring a floral sweetness that softens into the woody base of cashmeran and cedar, providing warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to the pulse points for a balanced experience. The crisp top notes fade within an hour but give way to a warm base that lingers throughout the day.
