Decadence
Marc Jacobs · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2015
≈ $100 · 100ml · approx. retail
A plush, grown-up oriental that opens with juicy plum and powdery iris before settling into a velvety bouquet of jasmine and Bulgarian rose. The drydown turns smoky and resinous, where vetiver, papyrus and amber lend a dark, leathery sophistication suited to cool-weather evenings.
