Decadent

Decadent is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers, sold as a 100ml pump spray and a 10ml purse spray. The brand says it is infused with pheromones, which is a marketing claim, and describes a scent for evenings when you want to feel both powerful and alluring. Retailer copy calls it warm, smoky and spicy. The published pyramid is the same on the brand page and the retailer listings. It opens with rum, cistus and bergamot. The heart is oakmoss, myrrh and cinnamon. The base is vanilla, musk and labdanum. Read by its notes, it should start boozy and bright, turn resinous and spicy in the middle, and end in a warm, sweet, amber-like vanilla base. Those are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The bottle is a square cut-glass flask with a gold collar and a faceted clear stopper, shown on the brand page with vanilla pods, bergamot and amber resin as props. The brand lists it as vegan and cruelty-free. No perfumer or launch year is named. It looks like one of the newer lines, going by the very few customer ratings so far, which are too few to draw a view on how long it lasts or how far it carries. The performance scores here follow the format and the style of notes, not a measured test. A cold-weather and evening pick for people who like a rum, spice and vanilla scent at a budget price. Note that the brand's men's Dark Desires For Him page repeats this exact pyramid, which looks like a copy error on that page.
