Going dotty....

A first look at Marc Jacobs' new scent for summer, Dot, which launches in July in three sizes. The bottle's certainly no wallflower: that strange red football on top, the crazy black "petals".... Jacobs was working on the premise that polka dots are always in fashion, and Dot is intended to be a "sister" to previous scents such as Lola and Daisy. The scent itself? It's a full-on sweet scent of holidays – coconut, orange and musk, plus berries and vanilla. It's all there. One thing's for sure, if you're a chypre kind of girl, this one's not for you. A bold, playful statement, or a hideous tacky aberration? Love or loathe it, you can't ignore it. Dominating a dressing table near you come July....
