By Invitation

By Invitation by Michael Bublé is a sweet, woody gourmand with a bold opening that transitions into a creamy, praline-laden dry-down. The fragrance features a starry mix of bergamot, red berries, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and sandalwood, layered with vanilla, musk, and praline. Despite its elegant bottle, it polarizes strongly — some users find it a brilliant, long-lasting dupe for Marc Jacobs Decadence with excellent projection and sitting power, especially in cooler weather. Others describe it as overwhelmingly sweet, sharp, or even headache-inducing, with a strong, lingering presence that some perceive as chemically or cantankerous. While the scent can transform beautifully over time, its intensity and abrupt shift in character make it highly dependent on skin chemistry. It suits those who enjoy rich, dessert-like perfumes with strong sillage, though not for everyone due to its boldness and potential for becoming oppressive.
