Marc Jacobs Daisy (Eau de Toilette): Introduced this year, Marc Jacobs Daisy comes in a cute daisy-inspired bottle. It is light, fresh, and feminine. Like the name, Daisy is scented with floral notes: Strawberry, Violet Leaves, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Gardenia, Violet Petals, Jasmine Petals, Musk, Vanilla, and White Woods.

Very Irresistible Givenchy (Eau de Toilette): Launched in 2003, Very Irresistible is vibrant and fun. It’s suitable for anyone between 20 to 30 years old.

Included notes are: Centifolia Rose, Peony Rose, Fantasia Rose, Passion Rose, Emotion Rose, Verbena Leaf, and Star Anise.

DKNY Be Delicious (Eau de Parfum): Modern, fun, and unique. The scent and package was inspired by NYC’s nickname, “The Big Apple.” It was launched in the U.S. during 2004.
