Marc Jacobs is one of the world’s most prominent fashion designers, and today runs both his own fashion house, as well as holding the position of Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. Jacobs was born in New York in 1963 and, after attending the New York High School of Art and Design, quickly became a force in the fashion industry, picking up numerous awards and developing his own brand, eventually securing the prized position at Louis Vuitton in 1997.

Jacobs’ fragrances are renowned as some of the most exquisite on the market. First came Daisy, a sweet scent strongly evocative of the wonder of Spring. It contains top notes of wild strawberry, violet leaves, and ruby red grapefruit; heart notes of violet, jasmine, and gardenia; and a base of vanilla and musk. His latest, Lola, is marketed as a more vampish, sensual companion to Daisy, and contains top notes of pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit; heart notes of rose, fuschia, and geranium; and base notes of vanilla, warm tonka bean, and creamy musk. My girlfriend wears it, and it’s damn sexy, for your information.
