Fans of Marc Jacobs will be delighted to discover that the fragrance house has launched not one, not two but four new perfumes in collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Best known for his contemporary flower motifs, Murakami has taken a more sculptural approach this time, translating his signature ‘smile on’ rainbow flower into playful toppers that cap the four perfume bottles.
The collaboration couldn’t be more fitting, with Marc Jacobs perfume bottles renowned for their flamboyance. The new releases join the popular Marc Jacobs Daisy line-up and arrive as four limited-edition scents: pink (£67.50, Boots.com), blue (£67.50, Boots.com) , yellow (£67.50, Boots.com) and green (£67.50, Boots.com).
At full price, a bottle from the Murakami x Marc Jacobs collection costs around £15 more than the original Marc Jacobs Daisy eau de toilette (was £75, now £56.25, Boots.com). However, all four new editions are currently reduced by a generous £22.50 at Boots. How long the promotion will last is anyone’s guess, so scroll on for the key details and how to shop while the offer is still live.

If you’re wondering which bottle might suit your scent preferences best, each fragrance leans into a slightly different olfactory mood. The pink edition will likely appeal to lovers of soft gourmands, with its creamy sweetness that’s balanced with a delicate floral lift.
The blue fragrance, blending pear, rose and musk, is the freshest of the bunch. The pear keeps things light and juicy, while the musk base gives it a clean, just-stepped-out-of-the-shower feel that’s perfect for everyday.
If fruity scents are more your style, yellow combines strawberry and raspberry with a cedarwood edge that stops the berries from becoming overly sugary.
The green is arguably the most playful of the quartet, harnessing banana notes in a way that may prove divisive. Paired with jasmine and vanilla, it leans firmly gourmand, making it a fun pick for anyone drawn to sweeter, more sugary fragrances.
