About this deal

Then it meshes with my chemistry and pulls red fruits and berries and turns very linear and generic with no base or middle notes. It's in the same vein as so many other perfumes I've smelt before like Fresh by Moschino or Trini Girl by Nicki Minaj.

So going back to the perfume, I personally wear this at night, has a very strong lasting effect and hints of vanilla makes it very warm. The initial spray is fresh and fruity, I can smell the dragon fruit and coconut, and shortly after it ventures into playful juicy white florals that do feel cheerfully feminine. On the skin I get red fruit, honey and a faint pencil shavings note, while in the air I get a barely-rouge honeysuckle with a bread-like quality (probably pitahaya/dragonfruit).tropic sugar - femininity is not defined by a fondness for cutesy objects and a dislike of patchouli-based scents. Perfumes are not “age appropriate” in my opinion, if you like Poison and you’re 15 or Candy even if you’re 50, go for it (just don’t bathe in it, perhaps…) as perfume is a personal experience, not for the people around you. Dot is the lighter, fresher, gentler, more daytime one and Purr is a bit darker, more dramatic, abrasive and suited for nights and winter.

As for the age range, I imagine that this is for someone 20s-mid 30s, although of course you can wear any scent at any age. Eclectic with an upbeat spirit Dot Marc Jacobs is a fragrance with a chic feminine charm and a touch of the unexpected. The crazy part was when we went to the food court to grab dinner, and the cashier exclaimed that whatever perfume I was wearing was so pretty. It's like generic strwaberries, with like sugaryy vanilla accent, but that smell is a little bit vheap, too sweet. Then about 30 minutes in, I start smelling Jasmine with hints of Coconut/Vanilla and about 2 hours later my skin has a lovely scent of Woodiness with a Vanilla Musk note.A delicate, fruity, white floral [that I would almost describe as aquatic or ozonic] drying down into a soft vanilla musk. It is not overly sweet, the coconut is not in your face, the white flowers somehow take center stage to my nose and the rest of the notes are the supporting cast. It is a mature version of Ralph and Be Delicious , with a gentle touch of red berries, and a balanced mixture of jasmine as well as other other floral scents.

Despite the fact that Dot is obviously mass-marketed to a young, mid-market demographic I really, really love this! It kind of gets hard to tell notes from another, but the dry down is just less fruity than the opening notes. I have been eyeing this perfume for so long and I finally pulled the trigger only to be completely disappointed. Unless you love mature white florals, especially jasmine, and perfume heavy, masculine driftwood you need to look past the cute bottle and leave it.Dot is the most detailed bottle yet, its signature oversized cap features butterfly wings and a polka dot ball centre. Then reality hits you like a back of bricks, but that's okay, this scent will always be there for me to escape to my fantasy. I would characterize it as a watery red berry scent, but by no means is there anything that smells like natural berries here. The way Dot smells a few minutes in is pretty much how it smells several hours later, although it largely disappeared from my skin within about 3 hours. I think it is a perfume that you can where just as an everyday, not doing anything really special that day kind of perfume.

The bottle is gorgeous, I love the colour red and so this goes perfectly with me and it is the most stunning bottle on my vanity and it is up against some stiff competition!This is young and girly, the bottle is a big clue to that, fun and fruity, but sensible enough to not overdo it. My current bottle is ancient as I am scared to finish it, as I can't seem to find this fragrance anywhere that isn't marked up. Red berries and exotic dragon fruit set the tone for Mark Jacobs’ sweet and enticing Dot perfume, which also includes a hint of honeysuckle. Onto the scent, the red berries and the pitahaya mix together to create this enchanting summery smell that I can't get enough of!
