A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The pear and grapefruit attack with genuine brightness, almost squeaky-clean, backed by a tart raspberry note that prevents the composition from becoming cloying immediately. It's the fragrance's single moment of structural clarity—citrus-fruit freshness that feels almost effervescent on the skin.
By the first hour, apple blossom dominates with a creamy-powdery character, whilst the violet adds a slightly talc-like softness that rounds everything into sweetness. The grapefruit retreats dramatically, leaving only the pear lingering as a diluted backdrop to increasingly abstract florals that blur together.
What remains is barely perceptible—a whisper of powdery musk and the ghost of plum, more suggestion than presence. By hour four, you're left checking your wrists to confirm you actually applied anything.
Daisy Eau So Fresh is a fragrance that mistakes prettiness for substance, collapsing under its own weightlessness within hours. Alberto Morillas has constructed something genuinely charming in its opening moments—the pear and grapefruit create a crisp, almost juicy luminosity that feels like biting into fruit at dawn—but the composition lacks the structural integrity to sustain interest. The apple blossom and violet heart that emerges is genuinely sweet, possessed of that slightly powdery quality that violet brings, yet it never develops complexity or tension. Instead, it feels like watching watercolours blur together on wet paper: the notes merge into an undifferentiated floral-fruity haze rather than creating dialogue between each other.
The base reveals the fragrance's central failing. Rather than anchoring these evanescent florals, the musk and Virginia cedar vanish almost immediately, leaving only the faintest impression of plum-tinged warmth. For a composition that's 76% fruity accord, there's remarkably little fruit character once you move past the opening—the pear and raspberry dissipate, leaving behind only the apple blossom's vanilla-adjacent sweetness.
