Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decadence EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lacoste EDP
This early 00s classic, now sadly discontinued in its original form, is a comforting, clean, and effortlessly elegant everyday scent. Despite its often-cited lack of longevity, its unique powdery floral and spicy suede profile continues to win hearts.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle character makes it perfect for the office or casual wear. While appreciated for dates, its skin-scent nature means it won't project across a formal event. Many reviews highlight its 'sporty' and 'gym-scent' qualities, making it suitable for active wear.
