I had the opportunity to try Daisy last week. It wasn't to my personal taste, but it's certainly a well-crafted fragrance, nicely balanced. Unfortunately, it reminds me of Lancôme Miracle (which, I'm surprised to see, I haven't reviewed here; I might have to do that). I say it's unfortunate not because I dislike Miracle (I actually find that perfume quite pleasant), but because I already have Miracle and thus no need for Daisy. But ANYway...
I liked the opening notes of Daisy very much. They're light, bright, a bit sweet, a bit citrusy (apparently, the top notes include strawberry and grapefruit). The middle notes were less inspiring to me, pretty much a solid, slightly sweet floral heart. Nice, certainly, and a solid blend, but, well, been there, smelled that... I quite liked the base, which is a musky, woody, vanilla (note: as I've said here, I'm not the biggest fan of vanilla, but in some rare cases I do like it; it's nice here). I found the base was quite "close to the skin", and very subtle.
Overall, this is a well-made, nicely balanced fragrance, a moderately sophisticated blend. I could see this as an "all purpose" fruity floral, something you'd wear when you haven't got anything else in mind. It's good, I don't want to imply that it isn't. It's just quite unremarkable, in my opinion. I would recommend it to someone who wants a good fruity floral that isn't too overwhelming or unusual, and who doesn't already have too many fruity florals in their collection.
