Daisy Eau So Intense
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent, where its intense sweetness and unique character either hit just right or miss by a mile. It is a sugary monster that isn't for the faint of heart, or nose.
This flanker for Marc Jacobs' Daisy is a sweet, fruity gourmand with a honeyed strawberry heart. It's divisive: some find it delectable and grown-up, while others get sickly sweetness, artificial chemical sourness, or even cat pee. You'll either love it or hate it, so make sure to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, dense, and potentially cloying nature, Forbidden Sugar is best suited for cooler weather and intimate settings like a date night. It's too overwhelming for an office or formal environment, and its sweetness makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear in warmer conditions, let alone sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its sweet and fruity nature makes it excellent for casual outings and dates, receiving many compliments from those who enjoy it. However, the intensity and gourmand leanings, which some find cloying, make it less suitable for formal events or a professional office environment, and definitely not sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Fruity, Honey accords and Jasmine, Honey notes
