You are standing next to the table with fruits. Take peach, red and juicy. Take a bite, it is delicious, isn’t it. Now take the banana. You are rather hungry, so you take another one. Before you have finished last bite, friends force you to take rollercoaster ride. You don’t want to go, but before being able to speak you are sitting in wagon. Ride starts. Up and down, on your head, in the pit without ending, up again, back to the side, up again, down, down, down.. staggering on the ground you’re trying to sit on the bench. Finally. There is jasmin and tuberose bush next to you. No cover from sun. Burning your eyelids. Seems to you that ground is spinning again. You throw up in lovely floral bush. Peach, banana, jasmin, tuberose, sun and gastric acid.
Horror. Horrific. Horrendous.
Blush by Marc Jacobs.

I had read many bad reviews prior to trying Blush, so I really didn't expect much. What I experienced was actually quite likable.
It's a little similar to Sicily by Dolce & Gabbana, yet much softer and cleaner. From the very first application, Blush is rather soapy and feminine. The top notes are mostly jasmine and banana with the bergamot and peach notes being extremely subtle.
The heart is a predictable yet enjoyable white floral blend, which is very delicate on the skin and has a somewhat soapy quality. I don't mind this freshness all that much, I find it nice and comforting. Amidst the soothing white florals, honeysuckle makes an entrance which adds a little more character and depth.
The drydown is primarily musk to my nose. A very close relation to a natural skin scent. Despite the fact that this fragrance doesn't have fantastic sillage or lasting strength, I'm moderately impressed.

But, I have tried it again today, to give it a fair chance. All I can say is I still dislike it, but can appreciate that it's got some very beautiful floral notes, particularly jasmine. What is it that for me makes this perfume so disgusting? It's got to be the star anise, because everything else I know I like.
On my skin the disgusting note (the star anise, probably) is more pronounced, and together with a certain "metal" note, reminds me of blood. Let's just say it's a skin chemistry thing, because I don't want to hate against Marc Jacobs for making this!

I would definitely have categorized this one as "floral woody musk", because the musk and the wood decidedly take the edge off the florals and assert themselves as substantive notes.
BLUSH has a unique sort of squeaky feeling that I love and can compare favorably to both FRACAS and DECI DELA. Although the three are entirely distinct, they do, to my nose, share this "je ne sais quoi" rather funky edge.
So far, Marc Jacobs is three for three: MARC JACOBS, ESSENCE, and BLUSH are all winners in my perfume book. Thank goodness some modern perfumers are still holding the quality candle high in the midst of the capitalized forces leading many celebs to produce junk in a bottle and fob it off as edp.


Anyways, this is a very very nice fragrance and long-lasting too!


There are descend doses of jasmine, tuberose and freesia. In the beginning it smells a lot of anise to me. It's really a great flavour for the summer. The associations I got are - a sea, a boat, hot bodies and cold cocktails. The vial is very elegant.
I like it!



Update: My impression changed after I tried Blush a couple more times. So, either the bottle I had was old or the fragrance is stuffy and quite overloaded with flowers, like they are all blooming at the same time and you can't breath. I was disappointed since I really liked it at first.
