I love to travel light. The idea of striding off into the sunset with just a clean pair of pants and a toothbrush in my backpack is my idea of heaven. Well yes OK, passport, credit cards, medications, shampoo, deodorant, fleece, rainproof mac, plug adapters, insect repellant, portable kitchen sink etc etc too, but my heart’s in the right place and my dreams are real.
So I’m all set for my trip to La Gomera – a small island off Tenerife which involves dashing off the plane, sprinting through passport control and around the corner to leap onto a local bus, followed by a twenty minute yomp from nearest bus stop to ferry, which departs around two hours from plane touch down. Clearly with these optimistically tight timings, waiting at the luggage carousel isn’t an option – so hand-luggage it is. Which isn’t a problem except for those, oh so tiny, plastic liquids bags in which I have to squeeze all my ‘look at least ten years younger’ potions plus, and, this is most important, my perfume.
So thanks heavens for Marc Jacobs, for making Daisy Eau So Fresh Parfum capsules, and Perfume Direct for selling them at a crazily competitive price.
I can tell you that Daisy Eau So Fresh (part of the Daisy collection) is a lovely light fragrance, perfect for summer, but you’d have to take my word for that. So what I love about Perfume Direct, is their clear, objective descriptions to help you make your own decision. And they tell you that Daisy Eau So Fresh is a floral, fruity, fresh fragrance. A sparkling, light and sunny scent with a vibrant energy. Sweetly feminine with enticing top notes of raspberry and grapefruit, a sensual heart of wild rose and a musky, sophisticated base of warm plum and cedarwood. There, you can almost smell it now, can’t you?
The Parfum capsules are just brilliant. Tiny capsules, so the tin containing all 30 fits easily in the palm of your hand, and, more importantly, takes up almost no room in the airport liquids bag. You simply twist a capsule and more than enough perfume is released to apply to neck, wrists, temples and other pulse points.
So if you’re planning a hand-baggage only trip, or simply want a small and convenient perfume to pop in your handbag, do try Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs, available at Perfume Direct for just £17.99 for 30 capsules (RRP £28).
