NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marc Jacobs International and Marc Jacobs Fragrances, a division of Coty Inc. (NYSE:Coty), announced today that for the first time in over four years, the brand will be introducing a new fragrance line into the Daisy Marc Jacobs franchise, Daisy Love Marc Jacobs; which will debut globally in April 2018.
The new Daisy Love Marc Jacobs global advertising campaign will feature model Kaia Gerber in her continued partnership with the brand. Shot entirely on film by celebrated British fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan, the imagery captures Kaia alongside models Aube Jolicoeur and Faith Lynch as they revel beneath the golden sun on a dreamy California beach.
Shot on location in Ranchos Palos Verde, California the Daisy Love print and television campaign transports Daisy’s beloved universe from verdant fields to a sun-drenched shore where the iconic Daisy story of friendship, love, and sisterhood continues. Creative direction was given by Katie Grand, and the television campaign features the track “Teen Age Riot” by Sonic Youth.
“I’m excited to continue working with Marc Jacobs Fragrances for the Daisy Love campaign,” said Kaia Gerber. “This time the campaign takes the carefree spirit of Daisy to the beach; which very much resonates with my personality, lifestyle, and my inner Daisy girl.”
Daisy Love Marc Jacobs, the first-ever radiant gourmand fragrance, is undeniably feminine with a youthful yet sophisticated composition. Daisy Love evokes the bliss of watching the sun reflect on the ocean under clear blue skies with notes of bright crystallized cloudberries, solar yet creamy daisy tree petals, and a warm blend of cashmere musks and driftwood. The scent was created by master perfumer and long-time Marc Jacobs Fragrances collaborator Alberto Morillas of fragrance house Firmenich.
“This past year we have focused on growing the Daisy franchise to be a major player in the industry,” said Simona Cattaneo, CMO of COTY Luxury. “Now, as we continue growing our partnership with Kaia Gerber, is the time to introduce an entirely new sister fragrance into the Daisy franchise. It fits nicely into our strategy as we expand our digital footprint and put an enhanced focus on influencer marketing.”
As the print and television campaign goes live globally in April, the brand will reveal exclusive Daisy Love digital assets on @marcjacobsfragrances and @marcjacobs Instagram accounts with supporting social content from global influencer partners.
