A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Cloudberry arrives with immediate sweetness, almost jammy, cutting through with a tart berry brightness that feels genuinely frivolous. Within moments, a synthetic shimmer emerges—almost soapy—that undercuts the fruit's naturalism, giving the opening an oddly clean-girl-aesthetic rather than authentic Nordic forage.
The daisy tree note softens the edges considerably, introducing a quietly floral, vaguely herbal quality with faint greenness that prevents the fragrance from becoming purely gourmand. The sweetness persists but gains structure here; the composition finally feels balanced rather than pendulous between concepts.
By the fourth hour, you're left with a whisper—literally. The kashmiri musk and driftwood create an impressionistic base that clings close to skin, almost imperceptible. It smells like clean laundry infused with faint woody amber, utterly forgettable, largely absent.
Daisy Love is a fragrance caught between whispers and declarations, never quite committing to either. Alberto Morillas has crafted something deceptively simple that reveals its cunning upon closer inspection: a cloudberry opening that suggests Nordic berry fields meets an insistent sweetness that pushes toward gourmand territory, then pivots into something floral and peculiarly green with the daisy tree heart note. That's where the fragrance finds its most honest moment—there's an almost herbal, slightly soapy quality to the daisy that prevents the composition from collapsing entirely into dessert. The kashmiri musk base attempts to anchor everything with a skin-scent warmth, whilst the driftwood introduces a faint woody dryness, though both are so subdued they function more as conceptual anchors than actual olfactory presences.
This is a fragrance for someone drawn to the aesthetic of "Daisy Love" more than its olfactory reality. The cloudberry-daisy pairing suggests something precious and rare, yet the execution feels diluted, as though Morillas was working within severe restraint—or, more candidly, the eau de toilette format has done this composition no favours. The 52% synthetic accord rating explains the slightly plastic sheen that clings to the opening, giving it an unexpectedly artificial quality despite its attempt at naturalness. Wear this when you want something that *sounds* lovely rather than something that demands attention. It's a fragrance for daydreamers, for those who prefer the romantic notion to the reality.
