Decadence

by Ann Gottlieb , Annie Buzantian

Marc Jacobs Decadence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Ann Gottlieb and Annie Buzantian. The fragrance opens with Iris, Plum, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Styrax, Vetiver, and Papyrus.

Our verdict on Decadence: Acquired

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.

About

Decadence plunges you into a rich, deep plum accord immediately, enhanced by spicy saffron. The heart unfolds with powdery iris and soft rose, before settling into a mysterious, woody base of vetiver and papyrus. It's a complex blend that balances fruity sweetness with an earthy, almost smoky greenness, evoking an aura of opulent mystery.
