In 2025, Daisy stops being a nostalgic icon and becomes an emotional object. Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami meet at the same point: the exaltation of color as vital energy. The Daisy Marc Jacobs Murakami Limited Edition collection emerges from that intersection, where perfumery becomes an artistic installation and the act of wearing fragrance acquires a new cultural dimension. Four tones, four sensibilities, four ways of inhabiting joy.
Author: Claudia Valdez
I. The Chromatic Rebirth of an Icon
Daisy has always been a luminous flower, easy to love, a symbol of contemporary innocence. But through the eyes of Takashi Murakami, that universe shifts in frequency. The Japanese artist’s aesthetic, pop softness, hypnotic repetition, color as emotional language, does not decorate Daisy; it reinterprets it from its cultural root.
Murakami does what he does with any symbol he touches:
he expands it, he dislocates it, he turns it into a mirror of pure joy.
The collection emerges from the dialogue between two worlds: Marc Jacobs’ sensibility And Murakami’s chromatic fantasy.
For the first time, Daisy appears as an olfactive quadrilogy in Eau de Parfum, each color an emotion, each emotion an intensified floral state.
The result is an object that functions on two simultaneous planes:
as an artistic collection to observe and as a fragrance to inhabit.
II. Four Colors and the Minds Behind Them
Behind every fragrance there is an author. And in perfumery, as in art, authors matter. For this historic collaboration, Marc Jacobs invited three essential figures of contemporary perfumery, each with a distinct sensibility and olfactive language.
Alberto Morillas, a living legend and creator of the original Daisy, works from a luminous understanding of the floral world. His signature is clarity made texture.
Sonia Constant, intuitive and botanical in her approach, brings a deeply emotional green language.
Adriana Medina, dynamic and modern, amplifies floral energy into a fresher, vibrant territory.
They did not interpret a bottle;
they interpreted a color.
And each fragrance is the sensorial translation of a chromatic emotion.
Daisy Murakami Yellow ~ Alberto Morillas
The original Daisy light, elevated and golden. Clean strawberry, bright petals, warm musk that wraps and lingers.
Daisy Murakami Pink ~ Alberto Morillas
A romantic, fruity echo, shaped by creamy petals and a contained sweetness that beats softly.
Daisy Murakami Blue ~ Alberto Morillas
Aerial serenity. Floral clarity, expansive freshness, a blue that feels like breathing.
Daisy Murakami Green ~ Sonia Constant & Adriana Medina
The vegetal pulse. Luminous green, dewy, alive. A botanical floral that smells like growth.

During Art Basel 2025, Marc Jacobs Fragrances transformed this universe into a physical space: the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, where Garden of Joy became an immersive work of perfume, color, and natural architecture.
Giant Murakami-inspired petals, chromatic palettes turned into living sculptures, water surfaces reflecting the tones of each Daisy… It was not an event; it was a multisensory experience.
Each garden zone corresponded to an olfactive universe:
Vibrant Yellow, Soft Pink, Botanical Green, Meditative Blue.
A true dialogue between contemporary art and perfumery.
IV. The Cultural Significance of This Collaboration
Marc Jacobs is not searching for nostalgia.
Murakami is not searching for ornament.
Daisy is not searching for repetition.
This collection operates as a bridge between three disciplines:
fashion as emotion,
art as language,
perfumery as memory.
It is a manifesto on the power of color as vital energy.
V. Availability: An Ephemeral Object
As with all collaborations born from art, this collection exists within a defined moment.
Daisy Marc Jacobs Murakami Limited Edition will be available in the United States on December 1, 2025, and globally on January 1, 2026.
A flower designed to bloom for an instant and disappear once its color has fulfilled its purpose.
VI. Closing
Daisy Marc Jacobs Murakami Limited Edition is not just a collection,
it is a cultural gesture.
A reminder that joy can be sophisticated,
that color can be intellectual,
that fragrance can become art.
In Miami, that gesture bloomed in the shape of a garden.
One that is not merely visited,
but inhabited.
