Decadence Eau So Decadent is a light, fresh fruity floral with a sparkling green opening dominated by juicy pear, ivy, and lily-of-the-valley. The heart features a dreamy, radiant blend of magnolia, jasmine, and soft white florals, balanced by a delicate sweet-amber base with raspberry and cashmere wood. The scent evolves into a warm, creamy, and softly sensual dry-down that remains subtly sweet and clean. It’s well-suited as a spring or summer day fragrance—refreshing, feminine, elegant, and gentle on the skin with moderate projection. While some describe it as faint or fleeting, others report it lingers pleasantly on clothes. It evokes a light, contemplative mood—like walking through a dew-kissed garden or sipping sparkling pear juice. The perfume is universally admired for its refined simplicity and beautiful bottle, though some find the scent overly floral, slightly irritating, or reminiscent of pickles, that awkward green-tart nuance which some interpret as a 'pickle' or 'musty' vibe. Many praise it as a gentle, approachable alternative to the heavier original Decadence, ideal for office wear, casual outings, or ephemeral moments of joy.
