Our take

Daisy Skies opens with a shimmer of mineral coolness and violet leaves that feels like stepping onto a dew soaked boardwalk at dawn. The quince adds a tart, almost metallic sweetness that cuts through the aquatic haze, and then lotus and jumble together into a powdery white floral cloud that never quite lands on the skin. The drydown is where things get interesting, seaweed and musky sandalwood turning the florals into something more saline, like a bouquet left on a damp seaside rock as the tide retreats.

This is a fragrance that feels like a postcard of a perfect beach morning, all gauzy light and salt spray, but the postcard is printed on tissue paper. The whole composition is a watercolour that blurs before it can set, because both longevity and sillage are criminally short, barely two hours before you are digging your wrist into your collar to catch a trace. It is undeniably pretty, in a soft, mainstream way, but it lacks the backbone to earn its place in a rotation. If you want a fleeting floral that whispers spring and evaporates before lunch, this is your scent. Anyone expecting a lasting statement should walk past. Best worn on a sunny morning when you plan to shower again by noon, a ghost of a fragrance for a ghost of a season.
