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.
A velvety plum and saffron opening, a powdery iris, jasmine and rose heart, and a resinous vetiver and papyrus base. Glamorous, rich and made for evenings.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and depth make it less suited for an office setting, but it truly shines on a date or formal evening occasion. The rich, woody-fruity profile and strong longevity are often mentioned by reviewers as perfect for special, intimate nights out.
Seasons
Plum, powdery iris and resin feel rich and warm, so autumn and winter suit them best.
Occasions
Glamorous and polished, it is ideal for formal events, dinners and dates, and is dressier than most daily wear.
