About This Perfume
Decadence by Marc Jacobs is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Decadence was launched in 2015. Decadence was created by Annie Buzantian and Ann Gottlieb. Top notes are Plum, Saffron and Iris; middle notes are Orris, Jasmine Sambac and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are Vetiver, Papyrus and Liquidambar. Marc Jacobs presents Decadence, his first "mature" fragrance in 2015. Each of his pillar fragrances represents a distinctive character: Daisy is a sweet girl next door, Lola is quirky, and Decadence is sexy and sophisticated. The rich and elegant composition was created in collaboration with perfumer Annie Buzantian. The top notes include Italian plum, saffron and iris. Bulgarian rose, Sambac jasmine and orris root form the heart of the perfume, while the base includes warm liquid amber, vetiver and papyrus wood. The bottle design, which is a "personal talisman” of the designer as a symbol of opulence and glamour, is reminiscent of an emerald green handbag with python pattern, gold chain and black tassel. The face of the campaign shot by Steven Meisel is Adriana Lima. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
