Decadence One Eight K Edition
by Marc Jacobs
Decadence One Eight K Edition is a luxurious, powdery, and woody fragrance with a strong initial burst of plum and saffron, leading into a rich, iris-tinged rose heart and a dry, earthy, leather-tinged base. While many users confirm it is virtually identical in scent to the original green-bottle Decadence, the golden bottle adds a visual and tactile glamor that some find unmatched. The perfume projects moderately to strongly with a long lasting, quiet presence, making it especially suited to nightwear and colder months. It unfolds quickly on skin, with the plummy opening giving way to a feminine yet darkly compelling dry down—think rose, powdery earth, and smoky wood. The extreme elegance of the bottle, with its mirror-like gold finish and chain detail, elevates the experience beyond scent, appealing to those seeking a statement piece in their collection.
