About Marc Jacobs Fragrances
Coty holds the fragrance licence for Marc Jacobs, whose Daisy line launched in 2007 and became one of the most successful designer fragrance franchises of its era. The fashion house itself left LVMH in September 2026 for MJ Topco, a joint venture owned equally by G-III Apparel Group and WHP Global. The arrangement means the scent and the clothing are made and sold by two companies that compete elsewhere in beauty.
