Brace yourself for another set of Marc Jacobs Splashes [1] due out in April. This time around, MJ doesn't mess with fancy floral or grassy fragrances [2]. Nope, the limited-edition Sorbet Splashes ($65 each) come in Grapefruit, Basil and Pear scents.
The scents are designed for layering, but of course they can be worn separately. (Remind you of Jo Malone [3] much?) And once again, they come packaged in Marc's signature thick glass bottles.
I haven't been able to get my hands on any samples yet, but after reading about the ingredients, I am most excited about Pear Splash. There's something refreshing about biting into a sweet and juicy over-ripe fresh fruit in the summertime.
For more specifics, .
- Basil Splash contains notes of tomato leaf, lemongrass, basil, freesia, jasmine, white musk, cashmeran, sandalwood and orange flower.
- Grapefruit Splash is made from a blend of citrus, woods, orange flower, watery ozone (what's that), ginger, freesia, tagette, amber, white musk and patchouli.
- Pear Splash is a mix of bergamot, lemon zest, pear, freesia, juniper, gin accord, musk, teak-wood and amber.
