Marc Jacobs Daisy Murakami Green Review: Banana Bloom

A limited-edition 2025 floral fruity gourmand with a creamy Blue Java banana heart.

By Vivir ·
In 2025, Marc Jacobs continued its beloved collaboration with artist Takashi Murakami, unveiling a trio of Daisy flankers that feel like collectible works of art. Among them, Daisy Murakami Green stands out as a playful, tropical floral fruity gourmand centered on an unexpected note: Blue Java banana. This is not the artificial banana candy of childhood; it is a creamy, custard-like fruit accord that melts into jasmine and settles on a warm bed of vanilla and amber. The result is a fragrance that feels like a sun-drenched afternoon in a garden—whimsical, soft, and intimately joyful. Composed by perfumers Sonia Constant and Adriana Medina-Baez, Daisy Murakami Green is a limited-edition EDT for women. It follows the Daisy DNA of light florals and easy wearability, but adds a gourmand twist that makes it feel fresh and modern. The bottle, adorned with Murakami's signature smiling flowers, is as much a keepsake as the scent inside. If you love fruity florals with a tropical edge, this is a fragrance worth exploring—provided you understand its modest performance. In this comprehensive review, we will dissect the scent pyramid, trace its evolution on skin, evaluate longevity and sillage, and help you decide whether this limited edition deserves a place in your collection.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first spray is a vivid, juicy banana. It is bright and tropical, with a green edge that keeps it fresh. The sweetness is moderate, and the texture is creamy. For the first fifteen minutes, the banana dominates, and it is utterly charming. If you love banana notes, this opening is worth the price of admission.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

The banana begins to fade, making room for jasmine. The transition is smooth; the fruit becomes a memory while the white floral takes center stage. The jasmine is soft and slightly powdery, with a clean, soapy quality that feels elegant. The fragrance becomes more floral and less gourmand, though a vanilla undertone persists. At this stage, it sits close to the skin and feels intimate.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

The final phase is a warm vanilla-amber blend. The jasmine remains as a faint whisper, but the base is the main event. It is cozy, slightly sweet, and very soft. On many wearers, the fragrance becomes a skin scent by hour four. Some reviewers report that it disappears entirely after 4-6 hours, while a lucky few get closer to 8 hours. The drydown is pleasant but subtle—perfect for those who prefer not to announce their presence.

Price & Value

$104
