Marc Jacobs Blush is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Steve DeMercado. Blush opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, and Peach, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Freesia, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Sandalwood. Marc Jacobs's Blush carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly polarising white floral, Blush is either a 'masterpiece' or an 'aggressive mess' for those who perceive an unlisted - and much debated - anise note. Tread carefully, sample first, and remember: it's been discontinued so finding it is a victory in itself.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and 'skin scent' quality make it suitable for office and casual wear without overwhelming. The strong white floral and sharp notes might be too intense for formal occasions or sporty activities, though some find it light enough for summer days.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Blush opens with a burst of bright jasmine and soft peach, given an unusual bite by a sharp, green impression. It quickly mellows into a creamy, intoxicating heart of honeysuckle and orange blossom, warmed by tuberose and the delicate sweetness of freesia. The dry-down settles into a comforting, clean blend of sandalwood, cashmere wood, and musk, maintaining a fresh skin-scent feel throughout its fleeting lifespan.
