Boss The Scent Le Parfum for Him

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.
Divisive, to say the least. Some call it an addictive, sophisticated iris-leather-fruit blend, while others dismiss it as a sweet, generic mess. If you're after a loud 'Parfum' you might be disappointed; this sits closer, promising intimacy rather than a shout.
