Perfect by Marc Jacobs is green, nutty and gently sweet, a cheerful everyday scent with a soft finish. Rhubarb opens it crisp and tangy, while narcissus adds a sunny yellow-floral edge. Almond milk sits at the heart, creamy and a little powdery. Cashmeran and cedar then settle into clean, musky wood. It launched in 2020 for women and suits anyone who wants something bright but not loud. Voters wear it in spring, during the day, and it is easy to wear at your desk. The community vote is clear on both counts: moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Try a 10ml decant across a few weeks of workdays before you think about the bottle.

The community verdict
A green, fruity blend, Perfect starts with tart rhubarb and narcissus before almond milk gives way to cashmeran and cedar. Most report moderate wear time and projection. Its easy, slightly creamy character suits spring days and the office, especially if you like a softer take on fruity notes.

The house
More from Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs, the American house started in 1994 by the designer of the same name, makes perfume that feels bright, youthful and easy to wear. Fruit and flowers lead the range: pear, litchi and grapefruit over jasmine, violet and gardenia, finished with soft musk. Daisy is where most people begin, a white floral with an airy, powdery feel. Daisy Eau So Fresh is sweeter and fruitier with a green snap, and Daisy Dream stays soft, fruity and fresh. Perfect moves toward almond, green and fruity at once, and Perfect Intense makes that almond richer and nuttier.
