Marc Jacobs Marc Jacobs is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001, created by Loc Dong and Steve DeMercado. Marc Jacobs opens with Bergamot and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Honeysuckle, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Ginger. Marc Jacobs's Marc Jacobs carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This discontinued gem is probably the most missed fragrance ever, sparking an industry of dupes and a fanatical quest for remaining bottles. It's a crisp, green, and elegant white floral that redefines sophistication, making you wonder what Marc Jacobs was thinking binning it off.

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.

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
  • 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

Opens with an airy gardenia uplifted by bright bergamot. The heart blossoms with lush tuberose and sweet honeysuckle, spiced gently with a hint of pepper. It settles into a clean, creamy musk and cedar base, infused with subtle warmth from ginger. A harmonious blend of delicate and potent florals, refreshed by a clean, almost aquatic touch.
