Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, dark, and utterly unique, Decadence was Marc Jacobs' boldest move, delivering a luxurious plum and woody punch that you either adore or recoil from. Its discontinuation leaves a passionate fanbase in mourning for this unapologetically fierce fragrance.
This is a seriously smoky cherry scent, not a fruit bomb. It’s got a bit of an identity crisis too, with some finding it a churchy incense and others a sexy, mysterious allure. Don't expect a straightforward cherry; prepare for a strong, occasionally divisive, smokiness that matures with time.
