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.

Our Verdict - Decadence Oil
112 captures Marc Jacobs Decadence's plum-saffron-amber core reasonably well, though it lacks the original's smoky, leathery vetiver depth and reads sweeter and more one-dimensional. An affordable taste of that dark, opulent mood.
