    While I agree that this is very nice scent, it does not last and to me staying power is the mark of a well manufactured fragrance, ones that cannot last the distance make me wonder if manufacturers...

    My favorite perfume to come along in a long time. And I am VERY picky. I also love Fracas and Narcisco Rodriguez (though they are both extremely different). Essence is great for summer and I...

    I'm late to the party on Marc Jacobs Essence, but I am here to play! This fragrance reminds me of my beloved Quelques Fleurs upon first applying it. It is lush and rich with white flowers...

    smells too sweet for me. at first i liked it, but when it sat on for an hour or so it began to bother me. by the way, can't detect the difference between this and the older version.

    A lush, velvety white floral, this is quite different from the earlier scent Marc Jacobs Perfume. Where Perfume is fresh, watery, green, a little strident, Essence is soft, dry, a little powdery...

    I like this version a lot better than the original, though they seem similar at first. The Essence version is richer, less aquatic, than the first. When my mom smelled this on me, she said...

    Essence is a soft, sophisticated scent. The smell is sweet and Gardenia based, and makes a perfect anytime scent. The lady at the counter who sold Essence to me sprayed a sample and told me,...

    I hate gardenias, but this at first did not smell like gardenias/coconuts to me. But once I came home I realized this was very much loaded with the infamous Gardenia scent known to the Marc Jacob's...

    Love Gardenia, and love all that Marc Jacobs does, but this tops it all. Gorgeous packaging, contains Italian Bergamont, Freesia, Orris Absolute, Moroccan Jasmine, Orange, Turkish Rose Petals,...

    I am a true Marc Jacobs fan. I adore Marc Jacobs perfume and this new Marc Jacobs Essence. The Essence, to me, is more of sophisticated and warm floral. It smells so very good to me. When I wear...

    An unabashed devotee to Marc Jacobs lotion and its fine shimmer, I happened upon this at Sephora. Marc Jacobs Essence - still prettily-wrapped but now retro yellow. Comparing the original and the...

    This smells fresh and floral and light, which is what I like. Not overpowering or heavy or strong. Great for every day and evening. Once I wear this a bit more I will be able to describe it in more...
