Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Prestigium EDP
Black Prestigium is a divisive powerhouse. You'll either adore its bold, powdery rose-oud-leather mystique or find it utterly overwhelming and 'grandma's ass'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those it suits, it's a confident, elegant statement.

Our Verdict - 186 Decadence EDP
A reasonably faithful dupe of Marc Jacobs Decadence, keeping the plum-saffron-rose signature but with a lighter, less syrupy amber base than the boozy, leather-tinged original.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Black Prestigium's beast-mode performance and opulent, dark accords make it unsuitable for office or casual wear where it would be overpowering. Its sophisticated profile with leathery and powdery elements, along with mentions of it being 'elegant' and for 'formal occasions', firmly place it in the evening and formal event categories.
