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 sweeter, simpler take on Marc Jacobs Decadence's plum-and-rose opulence. No. 3 captures the boozy-fruit glamour but skips the original's leathery, honeyed depth in the base.

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
The rich plum and rose combination feels most at home in cooler months, where its sweetness reads warm rather than cloying.
Occasions
A statement fragrance for evenings and special occasions; too heavy and sweet for daytime office wear.
