Marc Jacobs Decadence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Ann Gottlieb and Annie Buzantian. Decadence opens with Iris, Saffron, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Vetiver, and Styrax. Marc Jacobs's Decadence carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.
