Decadence Eau So Decadent

Mmmm so fresh. Thats prolly how an ancient Naiad would smell. This is like the Acqua Di Gioia of a mountain spring or a forest stream. Not aquatic but still refreshing, light, earthy & green. Smart move they took out the heavy sharp plum of the OG and replaced it with black currant which is what Police did for Police to Be Sweet Girl which reminds me of Rihanna's Rogue, they replaced plum with black currant and kept the manly medicinal cyclamen but resulting in a much lighter composition. So no plum, saffron or the smoky witchy orris of the Decadence so it is more fruity and I dont get any patchouli vibe here, because saffron always is abit earthy and sharp just like plum is(see Twilight Shimmer MK). Saffron gives the minty candy vibe of the Divine Decadence and the OG, but here we have the ivy instead, amazing green effect. The pear is not a fav note it is usually weirdly sour and salty on me like it is in Armani Code Turquoise, but here it is subtle and adds freshness. I love the entire Decadence line, despite the hate, the original and DD are still bold, unusual and sexy to me. Noooo pickle juice on me, thank God. They all work well with my chemistry. This is more along the lines of Jimmy Choo Exotic, they share a few notes, but this lacks patchouli, which makes it more approachable, carefree and fun. I still get that minty vibe from this one - all the Decadence perfumes share that familiar scent of minty candy, the old fashioned green candy I didnt like to taste when little lol. But this is more mellow, very uplifting, makes me wanna walk in a forest then dive in a pool. Im also a sucker for lily of the valley - the white flowers here keep it cheerful and feminine. I love unusual scents and this stands out. Ive tested it 4 times on my skin and the wind kept reminding me that I love it lol. Only downside it doesnt last as long. Bottle and design,simply gorgeous.

Marc Jacobs Decadence Eau So Decadent was a blind buy from TJ Maxx. I have heard the original and the flankers are great fragrances, and they do seem like ones I would enjoy based on the little bit of research I have done. I saw Decadence Eau So Decadent for $40 for a 100ml bottle and I decided to take a chance on it. I like it right away. First, the bottle is stunning. It's truly a work of art. I look forward to displaying this fragrance. Luckily though I enjoyed the juice inside just as much as the bottle. I got a burst of juicy, ripe pear and a fresh, green quality from the ivy. However, this fragrance is pretty much allllll the middle notes for a big portion of the wear time. The magnolia and lily-of-the-valley are the most prominent notes on my skin. The lemony tinge of the magnolia mixed with the pear is so yummy. The base notes are not as strong as I would have suspected, but they are there. The raspberry gives this fragrance some sweetness, the amber gives it some sensual warmth, and the cashmere wood balances everything else. This is truly a lovely fragrance. It's not the most nuanced or complex, at the end of the day it's a fresh fruity floral, but it smells really good and puts me in a good mood. I'm reminded of springtime, someone below mentioned Easter, and I have to agree. This is a very pleasant and nostalgic scent, which is what I like most about fragrance. Bottom line: $40 well spent! I'm going to happily add this fragrance to my spring rotation. Edit: The amber is really coming out now and it's so lovely!

I was gifted a decadent trio set last year by my family. This was my favourite automatically. It has dewy freshness. Lovely and airy. One problem. The sprayer was faulty out of all three. I’ve managed too solve the problem by soaking the spray cap overnight but it’s still a bit awkward. Anyway, this is the cleanest. Divine is warm and smooth. This is a cold feeling fragrance, maybe that’s why a previous commenter couldn’t connect with it but I like that about it. The original is voluptuous and dark. I am drawn to the fresh notes and I feel the ivy the most and I think I must like the pear and Lily of the valley too. The juicy fruity notes probably help give it a bit of body, the blackcurrants which I think I feel too. When I smelled diptyques Eau de Lierre in store which is an ivy fragrance I immediately was reminded of this. So people who like either one would I think probably like the other. I will most likely purchase Eau de Lierre when this runs out as I don’t think decadence and its flankers are in production anymore. Today is the first time I’m getting to wear this fully. I’ve only ever managed to have bits I’ve had on my fingers trying to press down. I was surprised I got it working. The other two fragrances I had on either wrist last night and were barely distinguishable within 2 hours so hope the longevity is better on this. This is ethereal almost, a smog of cold air whispers around you in a classic fairytale scene in secluded English overgrown gardens. Fresh with the smell of ivy vines and mystery.

I bought a 1 oz of this blindly and on impulse after finding it deeply discounted at Ross, and because of my love for the original Decadence. I was hoping for a lighter, more airy version I could wear in the upcoming warmer months. This is exactly what I wanted; I may even end up using it more than the original simply because this is more versatile and wearable for daytime. To me this is the opening of the original Decadence but with a ton of florals added, and more airy, sparkly, effervescent. Cleaner, while retaining the personality of the original. Florals can easily become boring to me and on my skin have the tendency to develop into an “old lady” scent or disappear entirely. I also tend to have trouble with pear and raspberry notes; something about them can tend to read skanky to my nose if done incorrectly. This, however, works flawlessly, likely because of the green notes freshening everything up a bit. It stays grounded with a strong base of white amber and cashmere, and I think that’s why the more flowery notes here work on my skin. I’m going to continue wearing it as a way of dipping my toes into more floral scents. The only issue for me is that this makes me sneeze like crazy, which I’ve never experienced with a perfume before. (I think it’s the magnolia, which always triggers my allergies horribly when I’m in the South.) I’m going to continue wearing it, though-I love it that much-and see if this effect goes away with continued use. If so, I’ll definitely be buying a full bottle.

Really fresh, but soft and a little bit sweet at the same time. Pear often goes a bit boozy to my nose, but this pear isn't overripe. A couple of minutes after spraying (both on skin and paper) it becomes absolutely delightful, smooth and happy. If I could grade this 4.5 stars I would. I find it to be an objectively great perfume, and whenever I wear it I'm surprised by how much I adore it, but for some reason I can't seem to form an emotional connection to this scent. I never reach for it because I never really find myself craving it. I would describe it as a fresh but still warm scent which is unusual and something that I should love, but it sadly leaves me a little bit cold. I've had a full size bottle for going on two years and I've only wore it a handful of times but every time I think that I should declutter it since I never wear it I try it on, feel enamoured, want to keep it and then keep on never using it. Lather, rinse, repeat. I'm really puzzled by this experience, I don't think I have another fragrance that I feel this way about.

The pain of falling in love with a discontinued scent. Lucky I was able to get a bottle but I started with a decant because I was intrigued by the notes. The opening is so fresh like walking barefoot on dew covered grass in the morning. The white florals are fresh too, in no way overpowering, it definitely adds dimension. No longer are you in the dewy green grass but a garden. The pear and black current gives a light sweetness from the beginning so the raspberry doesn’t feel out of place when it comes in with the amber. The raspberry amber is very sensual too me. I feel really seductive when it hits the base notes but still totally acceptable to wear on the day to day. So the full story would be woman sneaking out of the house in the morning barefoot through some fabulous green gardens to meet her secret lover. I get a similar vibe with Lalique’s Amethyst. ALSO A Marc Jacob’s fragrance that lasts?!? Yes! And develops throughout the day?!?! Yes! Why discontinue such a wonderful perfume?

I'm hooked! It got warmth, greenness, fruity creamy white florals. Everything goes well together. I'm not usually drawn to white floral perfumes, but I'm in love here, I was surprise. It's different from what I have in my collection. The performance could have been better. The longevity is fine, but the projection is average poor, it starts average then goes softer after 3-4 hours, but I can still sniff it 6-8 hours, after I only smell it on my skin. I sometimes reapply after 4-6 hours. I have a sample and I feel something would be missing if I don't have it in my collection, I'm thinking seriously about buying a bottle. The performance is meh, but I found it enjoyable enough to worth the splurge. I love the green lightness of the Eau So Decadent, I haven't try the original Decadence or the other flankers, but I'm curious. I'm rarely disappointed by Marc Jacobs perfumes, they have a dreamy charm, I just wish the dream last longer. Edit: I bought it!

Eau So Decadent is such a complex ride for me. When I first sprayed it, I said to myself, “Oh, jeez! Yet another white floral fragrance.” But, then it started to do something different as it dried down. The ivy gives it a pronounced greenness. Then, there’s this sweet-tart interplay between the black currant and the pear. Finally, it develops into a balsamic composition with an interesting base of cashmere, amber, and raspberry, of all things! This is a fragrance I don’t detect overtly, but which I get momentary whiffs of as my body moves. At one point my daughter came and sat next to me, and after about 15 minutes, she said, “I didn’t notice it at first, but you smell nice.” I initially was ready to write this selection off, but letting it sit on my skin has opened my nose to one of the most unique fragrances I own. So happy I took the risk to blind buy this.

Absolutely perfect for me. It smells like ripe fizzy pears, clean but not in the annoying 'fresh' type. More of a sweet freshness, like eating said pears in the shadow of an old walnut tree on a hot summer day. On my skin it doesn't stay for long, 2 hours max. No surprise here as nothing does except for the original Decadence which I passionately dislike. The good thing is that it rubs on clothes (scarves, collars, pillow) and those top notes linger oh so pleasantly for the whole day. It could work for night too but I have others more appropriate. My kids love the bottle and even make drawings of it, not to mention asking me to spritz on them too. A pity it's not rechargeable like Mugler's gorgeous Aura. The only inconvenient is the price, which even discounted is exaggerated, but even so I'm going to order another bottle to have at work and gym bag.

I swear, if you took out all the dark and dusty notes from Angel and only left the fruits and flowers it would smell exactly like this! I think it's the tart raspberry note that gives me that general vibe. As others have mentioned, I am a bit bummed out by the lack of longevity that this fragrance has. Maybe I just get noseblind to it. I love this scent so much and it's really not the type of fragrance that I gravitate towards, I'm usually a fan of dark, spicy and rich scents, deep Orientals. Nonetheless, I love this so much, and I think it comes in the cutest bottle known to man! I think this would be good as a blind buy or to give as a gift as I could see it being pleasing to a lot of people. I'm enjoying it now, in the dead of winter, it's a breath of fresh summer air.

I own both the original MJ Decadence and this flanker. If you like Decadence, you will like Eau So Decadent as well! Decadence is definitely a cold weather frangrance, definitely evening only. It’s dark and sexy. Eau So Decadent is the spring/summer option in the line and I LIVE that I own both now! I can literally wear something from the Decadence line all year round. Grab a sample and try it for a couple days during warm weather and see what you think! It’s doesn’t last long, usually I can’t make it past lunch/early afternoon, so you may have to re-spray.

I really enjoy this perfume in the heat of Summer. It’s a very light, slightly fruity slightly floral, green, refreshing scent on my skin. It’s not mind blowing but pleasant in a gentle way. This fades quickly though, and it’s not a strong scent, but in the humid days of Summer I’d rather it not be anyway. All in all, I wear it as a day to day fragrance, which I enjoy. Edit: I have been wearing this all Summer and I absolutely am in love! I wish this were still in production. It is lightly sweet, a bit green, very soft. So beautiful!

Honestly I had very low expectations of this as I got a tester with an online order. But now after having tried it a couple of times, I have to admit that I'm absolutely in love with it. I can't get enough, and I keep thinking about it when not wearing it. It's beautiful. The perfect balance between fresh and sweet. It's dreamy, warm, creamy, sweet, sparkling and almost "edible"! I love the green aspect from the lily of the valley and ivy together. This is elegant, cozy, uplifting, sensual, clean and casual at the same time.

I love this better than the original Decadence. It smells so nice on me! There's no tea notes listed here, but on my skin I got this sweet, soft, a lil bit bitter tea aroma. I'm obsessed by this one! The only problem for me is this perfume doesn't last that long since it's EDT. But that's okay, I can always reapply this pretty perfume throughout the day. I even ordered my second bottle already as a backup when I heard that Decadence line had been discontinued.

My second favorite from the trio. Also not as similar to those two. The colors I associate with it are green, white and peary orange. Actually its also fairly soapy, but in the very best way. I usually dont like this note, but here it plays well with the rest. Light, fresh, interesting. Lasting power for EDT is alright, you can smell it after few hours. A love from me. (Today I layered it with Narcotic V and it's absolutely divine together.)

In general, I don't tend to be attracted to perfumes with PEAR... even so, there out are some precious exceptions... On my skin it is a mixture of green, floral, and refreshing accords that are cheerful and even extroverted, an ideal scent to use in a super hot summer, being able to be used to be at home and have a day of total relax as well as for a date or go to a club to have fun.

Uh. This is GOOD. I had decadence and let it go cause it was so stuffy and masculine and a bit bitter. This. However. Wow. Pretty floral sweet and juicy! So yummy and fragrant. The pear is the star! Mixed with musk and the biting green ivy. Fresh fruity and green ozonic. And. This bottle and “bag” are much cuter. Love the frosted bottle.

I just got this. I simply love it. I love Decadence and I always wanted to wear it in the day time- much to other people's chagrin. This is a lighter fresher version that you can wear to work. The Bulgarian rose plum and jasmine are still there - just lighter and more fresh. You will not be disappointed if you try this.

It ́s completely different from decadence and divine and you cant compare them because the purpose are different, here the idea is a delicious summer/spring scent for the day time or very not nights. I think it smells a bit similar to Lancome Miracle Blossom even though i dont find any common notes. It ́s yuuuuuumiiiiii

can someone do a recommendation for me please? I'm torn between blind purchasing Divine Decadence or Eau so Decadent...which one is stronger with a better longevity? i already own the original and like it. but wanted also a flanker since i love the bottle. any recommendations from ppl who own/know both of them? 🤔🤓
