The composition of the fragrance
The upper notes provocatively intertwine the essences of sweet Italian plum, intoxicating iris and rare saffron. Soon afterwards, the heart of the fragrance emerges, with iris root blending ingeniously with elegant Bulgarian rose and captivating Arabian jasmine. The base of the composition of the whole fragrance is then permeated with hidden accords of vetiver, amber and papyrus.
The story of the fragrance
Decadence is a fragrance that tells the story of undisguised passion and a desire to live life without binding rules. In contrast to the Daisy collection, which symbolised a sweet, innocent girl, Decadence is the first truly feminine, sexy and sophisticated fragrance by Marc Jacobs. The Eau de Parfum was launched in 2015.
