Blush Marc Jacobs for women

attention star anise lovers!!! there is NO staranise in it!!!!! wrong placed on the fragrantica pyramid... it is Star jasmine!!!
i do really like this scent, the banana peach opening is fruity foody and quite unusual and inetresting in a good way! then it turns in a real jasmin scent. creamy powdery intense jasmin with a hint of freesia, powdery tuberose and a creamy honeysuckle. it lasts very well on the skin, sillage very good in the first stages but on the base it turns average.
very elegant and feminine scent. it seems to be discontinued ?? what a shame ! hope i will not regret to have agreed to swap it... hmmmm :/

This is a fragrance that intrigued me from the start but somehow I was a little scared to buy it. (That was until I heard they were going to stop making it...)

Its a megablast of green tea with jasmin, a clean, confident scent, yet complex enough to be intresting. The star anise adds a touch of sharpness often found in mens perfumes.

I use it from time to time as my powerdressing perfume, a bit like som use Gucci's Rush, for those days I need it the extra boost.

very nice fragrance sad that is not available in sweden

i dont know why all these negative reviews.. it is long lasting it smell wonderfull you never get bored of this .. and i get a lot of compliments!!

I smell pepper and anis and perhaps something sweet underneath.
Not for me, no thanks.

Strange, but interesting. It smells like nail varnish mixed with banana oil.

I hate it :(

I smell very strong licurish here (must be the anis) - this note comes out more and more as the perfume dries down.

I was out shopping for scents when I came across this one. I was utterly in love due to the overwhelming joyful note of honeysuckle I smelled on paper. It instantly transported me to playing outside at my grandparents home as a child. Also it smelled more mature and distinguished than fragrances of my past so I was excited to "move up in the world". Unfortunately, the sales person did not mention the anise note nor did I detect it from the bottle or on paper. Anise (black licorice to be more specific) has quite literally made me vomit at the sheer smell of it since I can remember. To my horror I applied Blush and was simply bludgeoned by anise and solely anise. Gone was the beautiful honeysuckle and I spent the rest of the day hunched in my bathroom. Even after showering the disturbing scent lingered. Be forwarned if you have even the slightest issue with anise that this IS NOT for you!

Where are all the negative reviews coming from, huh????
I am now officially so in love with Blush!
Blush is different to other fragrances in my collection which I haven't necesserely fallen in love with immediately!
Blush is crispy, fresh, sweet floral perfume, with a distinct honeysuckle, jasmine, anise and orange flower notes ''cooled'' with banana note which is so pleasant!
It is probably the best floral fragrance I have ever came accross, it smells royal, exclusive, elegant, it has moderate sweetness and I would strongly disagree with those of you stating that Blush is boring!
The hell it isn't :-)
It is rich and in fact this is how I want to smell all spring long!
Lasting power and sillage is more than decent. The bottle is pretty and will be quite practical in your handbag. (unlike Lola or Daisy lol)
Blush, in my opinion, would make an asset to your floral collection.
I am so happy I made this blind purchase of mine so successfull and now have a huge 100ml bottle to enjoy!
Beauty in a bottle!
Certainly deserves some space on your dresser if you love crispy sweet florals!
(my nose says no tuberose here, which I am actually happy about!)
Mr Demarcado, you are officially my favourite fragrance wizzard, right next to Mr Ropion, Mr Cresp, Mr Cavallier and Ms Grojsman :-)

this smells a lot to jasmine and tuberose. the fruit accords give this fragrance a touch of "creamy sourness" (peach, green banana and bergamotte) joined with fully blooming white petals of intense jasmine and tuberose. indeed a unusual composition: modern and vintage united.
this fragrance is sophisticated, creamy and elegant. in some way it is also a bit cheeky and innocent like a hug of a child, and it sprides a very distict feminity ("i' m unreachable for you!") in some way, but also very familiar (kinda mother's smell maybe?). no daring sweets in this one. it is very 'sec' (dry champagne) and clean, yet little creamy and powdery and it's a really special one... definitely must try before buy. this is probably not everyones cup of tea. hate or love i guess
you need to be very selfconfident to wear this kind of scent.
i love to wear it when i wanna feel 'untoucheable' and distinct with minimal nude makeup and businesslook but wanna feel very feminine without wanting to seduce in any way.
it last the whole day long without having to reapply. sillage nice!!! a keeper. bottle is beautiful.

this is how it smells on me, alcohol, licorice, a kind of sweet rubber scent and then almost nothing. i have a really small bottle, which i'm glad, but i estimate it will be gone in 2 or 3 uses. if i use it again at all.

hello everyone,
I have purchased this on line hoping to like it and I did at the very beginning. However, the more I used it the more I grew disgusted by this scent. Yes, it is sort of guipure-ish, gentle, yet there is a note that smells like rust, blood, a chemical - something of that sort. Well, in short, I have half of a 3.4 EDP bottle, if anybody wants to swap, buy, or whatever here is my email - nikaisu19@yahoo.com

thanks kindly

I am soooo jealous of everyone here who can smell peaches or jasmine or even toilet freshener!

Literally ALL I can smell is the Star Anise with just enough green edges to resemble the scent of your school uniform, stained with fresh fennel leaf juice, after an ill considered face first dive into some weeds (don't ask). Traumatic, painful and stinky!

I don't care for it. No sir, I do not!

peachy and bland, and altogether lacking in character .. like you have smelled it a thousand times before.. a definite no-no for me..

i bought this on a blind buy. it sounded so great in theroy-delicate woods, vintage, blooming jasmine. To my nose there is a note i can't get past. i was hoping for a sweet innocent smell instead i got a strange licorice mixed with jasmine and like the previous review said bathroom freshner. I know plenty of people that love this perfume, so to each its own-maybe it's jasmine i don't like? lesson learned-- smell before you a buy a FB.

Maybe I don't like aniseseed after all. At first sniff I get a lighter version of that awful public bathroom cleaning product smell I got in Black Orchid. With this there is just a bunch of sweet-smelling flowers in the bathroom as well. Reminds me of that air freshener commercial that talks about a room smelling of “fish and FLOWERS”. Like one reviewer said “pretty and horrid at the same time”

The name is a bit deceiving...this is not really a harmless average (fruity) floral for a blushing teen. What it is is a nod to the vintage, old school jasmine, tuberose and neroli flowers (indolic just right). It's powdery, but not dusty (freesia, honeysuckle). The fruit components, banana and peach, are pushed to the background by the florals and anise. It’s perfect for warm spring and hot summer days, light and fresh, the longevity is a bit underperforming, several spritzes throughout the day are necessary. On the overall, a pretty white floral scent with (tamer) indolic undertones, to keep it a tiny bit nasty ;)

If you are a Jasmin-Lover you might fall in love with it, but if not...be careful sniffing it.
Sorry, but I just get Jasmin flowers in a clear plastic-wrap. A big bunch of Jasmin and a lot of plastic, mixed with a little fruit and an acidic scent.
The plastic scent gets very annoying and the Jasmin bites my nostrils. Not my can of cola.
A plus: the staying power is great!

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to test Blush, let me share my experience with you.

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'm not a particularly big fan of Marc Jacobs' creations. Although some of his earlier creations are nice, I feel as if his more modern scents are too focused on the bottle design rather than the fragrance itself.

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.

every time I smell this perfume, I feel as i am back to the paradise on earth, tahiti.... smells almost identically as the monoi oil... looove it!

By rights I should love this perfume. The description sounds perfect for me, it has all the notes I like, and it is a floral (my fragrance group of choice). But somehow I find this perfume repulsive. I have no doubt that it is of high quality and pleases many people, but for me it is among the top 2 perfumes that I can't stand (the other is Elle).

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!

Another high-quality, long-lasting edp creation from Marc Jacobs, BLUSH offers a new group of florals in a musky yet clean-feeling base. In this composition, jasmine and honeysuckle loom large and are supported and framed by musk and cashmere wood. I do detect a tad of tuberose as well.

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.

Sheer orange blossoms that dry into a more solid honeysuckle scent. Fresh and transparent, but somehow a tad strong at the same time, especially in the drydown. I read it was inspired by vintage lingerie, and I can see the connection. Pretty, ethereal and coquettish, but I'd say it has an edge. Like pairing a vintage, romantic outfit with a trendy, punky haircut and smoky eye makeup. The shower gel is to die for! I think I like it even better than the EDP itself. Very easy to wear (for those who enjoy florals), especially in the Summer. I went through an entire bottle (which almost never happens) and intend to get another one in the near future. My favorite scent by Marc Jacobs.

I just picked Blush up on a lark one night at my local TJMaxx and was pleasantly surprised to find that I really like it. It's a very fresh, light floral. What makes it interesting for me is the honeysuckle. I love that fragrance and don't see it that much. I read in another review somewhere, that Blush is a very 'unperfumey' perfume, and I agree with that. It's just faint, fresh flowers--great for summer. The lasting power, sadly, like a true facial blush, is transient and short-lived.

is it just me or this really smells like Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise?
Anyways, this is a very very nice fragrance and long-lasting too!

This perfume is wonderful when the weather is worm. This is an airy and elegant flavour. A friend of mine compared it with gossamer scarf and elegant fine lingerie.
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!

My all time favorite! The only one I never get bored of. When I wear it, it makes me feel so feminine... it makes me feel like a princess.
I first received a sample of this scent long time ago and I remember it was love at first smell. I was fascinated by the flowery notes inside of that small bottle. I have never smelled anything similar before. Such a cute, innocent and creamy fragrance! Its smell is unique, it's like the best flower nectar was poured into that bottle: so sweet, juicy and dreamy. I'd say it's like a fairytale... I simply love it!

I knew i smelled something a little different in this so I think it is the bananna. Uncommon in fragrances but this smells nice I do get alot of the honeysuckle and cashmere wood and this has lasting power. Nicely done!

The first time I tried Blush I really liked it, I left with a memory of a lady like and innocent scent of jasmine.

Some time later, I wanted to buy a bottle and tried Blush again - I was so disappointed. Either this bottle 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 don’t know what to think, except that I have to give Blush another chance.

Blush is so delicate and feminine. It smelled to me of sweet Jasmine tea. I think this is a beautifully subtle fragrance. It lasted 3 hours on me, without any kind of layering.

:) This is really long lasting. I just propped my hand up and smelled it, so I decided to write a review. It's a floral perfume with a spiky punch. you can smell the top notes well, and the banana is really a nice touch. mmm. the florals in the heart are a bit big for my taste (a fruity girl myself) but the dry down is fantastic. there's this just got out of the shower and i smell delish-ious feeling that i love. yummy.

I get a sweet floral with a terrible body odor note on the underside. Pretty and horrid at the same time.

Long lasting perfume, very elegant and sexy. The best jasmine scent. Love it.

Pretty jasmine in ruffles. Jasmine dominates every other component in this scent!It`s a bit powdery, but more like "baby powder" powdery.When I will crave pure light jasmine, I`ll get a bottle.The dry down is a bit ordinary, but the staying power is not very good either - so re-spritz and enjoy!

My girlfriend used to wear it. I don't like it much. I find it really light, and simple, boring. It's not Marc Jacobs scent.
