When Dot by Marc Jacobs was launched it instantly made it to my wishlist. When I got it as a gift from my cousin on my Birthday I was pleasantly overwhelmed!
The overall flirty yet fun packaging also reminds me of Betty Boop . I feel happy every time I hold it in my hands :)
FRAGRANCE:
Top notes of the new fragrance DOT incorporate red berries combined with dragon fruit. The juicy and exciting opening is followed by a floral trio composed of honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, while a base closes with a trail of coconut water, vanilla, driftwood and sensual musk.
PACKAGING:
When I first read reviews of this perfume I noticed that there were mixed perceptions regarding not just DOT but other Marc Jacob perfumes. People actually had issues with the design of the bottles and consider them childish and not as elegant as Chanel?
I completely disagree with them. Every bottle created by Marc Jacobs, including DOT, is whimsical and creative, like a piece of art. It portrays the personality of the quirky designer as well as the fragrance itself. I truly admire that. Here are some predecessors of DOT:

How Delicious is this fragrance recipe, bound to make anyone smile. The delightful smell is refreshing and can go with day or night. It's long lasting and you just need to do the essential sprizing (not go crazy like some people and go on a mad dousing spree!)
I got this as a gift but in case you want to buy it you can order online from SEPHORA or get it from Scentsation Karachi(I spotted it there as well).
The approx price is $72.
For those who can, must try out this vivacious fragrance. You will fall in love!

Deletenot as classy as Chanel obviously but i love the scents and wud collect all those bottles!
ReplyDeleteWe cant compare it to Chanel. You making the same mistake I pointed out in the Post. Both are different genre of design and fragrance..thus no comparison. It's Like comparing Angelina Jolie with Scarlet Johansen :) We can't.
DeleteNyc review! i love its packaging it looks so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThese dont look very lady like but i still love them.They are on my wishlist.The bottle seems so small in photos but in your photo it looks huge.I will def get this one now.
ReplyDeletePS:angelina and scarlet :P so which one is analogous to Angie?chanel or dot :P
Oh come on...Lady like is a Coice...have you seen Doe deere of Lime crime? She is Gorgeous! The choice are subjective though so to each there own I suppose :) as far as Angie goes, Depends on her character and mood I suppose! ;)
