Perfect
by Marc Jacobs
Perfect from Marc Jacobs is a fresh, feminine scent with a distinctive tart green opening of rhubarb and narcissus, balanced by a soft, creamy almond milk note. The dry-down blends cashmere and cedar into a warm, subtle, and clean finish, giving it a skin-like sensation that is both comforting and quietly elegant. It is ideal for spring and summer, especially for those who appreciate light, inoffensive, and easily wearable fragrances. While many users praise its harmonious blend of notes and refreshing quality—comparing it to clean body wash or seasonal apples—the scent lacks sufficient longevity and sillage. Most users report it lasting around 2–3 hours on skin, making it better suited for daily wear with reapplication. Despite this, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a youthful, non-intrusive perfume with gentle sweetness that won’t overwhelm.
