Marc Jacobs 2015 EDP
Decadence
by Ann Gottlieb , Annie Buzantian
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 Iris, 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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best 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.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

- Geraniol
The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
