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 - Faint EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of its inspiration - a woody fragrance led by Patchouli, Peach, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Decadence

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Faint

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the woody signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
