The Essence Vault Decadence - 3 is an Eau de Parfum. Decadence - 3 opens with Saffron and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Amber. The Essence Vault's Decadence - 3 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.

About

No. 3 opens with the same succulent plum and saffron introduction that gives Marc Jacobs Decadence its immediate richness, moving into a rose-and-iris heart that mirrors the original's opulent florals fairly closely. The difference shows up in the base - where Decadence dries down into a honeyed, leathery amber with real depth and tenacity, this dupe's amber-wood finish is thinner and fades noticeably sooner. It still delivers the bold, statement-making plum-rose character that makes the original a popular night-out choice, just as a shorter, less layered version of that story.
