A high street brand is selling a lightweight gel-cream that fans are insisting reminds them of a popular designer fragrance. Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, which currently retails at £87 for 100ml, is known for offering ‘summer in a bottle’ - with hints of white violet, jasmine and sandalwood in the base notes.
For those with a nose for luxury fragrances, it may come as a surprise to sniff out the signature floral scent in a skincare product - costing £75 less. The Body Shop lotion is described to not only have a distinctly fresh smell, but also to cater for those who need to combat dryness by providing 48-hour moisture.
The popular cosmetics and skincare brand's Cool Daisy Body Yogurt was among the limited-edition Cool Daisy collection, which launched in 2021. The skincare range offered a variety of products, with the body yoghurt itself receiving 4.7 star reviews from shoppers.

Customers have expressed their own experiences in the reviews section on the Body Shop website, with many pointing out how similar they think it smells compared to the iconic designer fragrance. One reviewer commented: “Love this product, smells exactly like the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume.
"Very cooling on the skin – Gorgeous.” Another agreed: “I like this yogurt as it is easily applied leaving the skin refreshed. Lovely fragrance for this time of year, it reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy."

A fourth praised the product by writing: “Absolutely love this cool daisy body yoghurt its fresh and floral scent is stunning and smells similar to Marc Jacobs daisy, would highly recommend."
Following the news that Marc Jacobs recently extended the line of fragrances to include a new scent with a citrus twist, prompting a buzz on TikTok, the Cool Daisy Body Yogurt could offer a more affordable option for the many people who love the original Daisy scent.
A spokesperson for The Body Shop said: “The Cool Daisy Body Yogurt is perfect for combatting dry skin as we move into the cooler months. The lightweight gel-cream provides 48-hour moisture that can leave skin feeling soft and smooth.
"The product’s fresh and cool scent is particularly distinct, and one that has garnered a wave of positive reviews from customers. Ingredients include sweet almond seed extract, limonene derived from the peels of citrus fruits, and citronellol which can be found in the oils of rose.
"Together these ingredients create a cool and refreshing floral scent, making it the perfect transitional fragrance from summer into autumn." The £12 Cool Daisy Body Yogurt (200ml) is available to buy in-store and online.
