Cologne Fragrance Scent Decadence perfume

I received the Decadence perfume as a Christmas present last year. It was a 3.4 oz Eau Due Parfum spray in an elegant square bottle. It was really a treat for me because I don't usually wear perfume, and the only ones I owned were those cheap drugstore kinds, like Coty or something. Well anyway, I'm not used to owning a high-end brand like the Decadence perfume either so I was pretty happy. When you spray the perfume on, you only need one or two sprays to get the scent. After that it smells too strong. You have to let it dry for about 15 minutes before it mixes with your body chemistry and you smell the lovely scent. When you first spray it, it's a little strong and smells more like alcohol, so wait for the dry down before you judge it. If you're testing this in stores, it's best to sniff those pre-sprayed cards, or better yet, spray it on your self and wait, instead of sniffing it from the bottles. I think this has hints of vanilla in there.

Kate Moss is the model for the ads, so they are marketing this towards a younger crowd, as opposed to the types that wear old classics that wear Coco Chanel. To me, Coco Chanel smells nothing like the Decadence perfume. I don't like that scent - it's just unpleasant and stuffy. The Decadence perfume smells more fresh and youthful. It is a warm smelling fragrance, and it might be too strong to wear on hot, sticky summer days. For people who get headaches around strong perfumes, you should really test this out when you buy this because I can't wear this when I have a huge headache - it gets to me. They also have a light Eau Du Toillet version out right now, which my mom has which is lovely as well, but I prefer the more scented Parfum.

Overall the Decadence perfume is a very unique scent. People will definitely recognize this when they smell it, or they'd be so pleased with it, they'd ask you what it is. I've had a few people tell me they really like it. Usually I don't wear enough that it clouds me so no one complains about it. As for the Decadence perfume lasting power, it lasts all day, and it will keep lasting until you take a shower and do your laundry. The smell doesn't change so the quality is really high. Those cheap drugstore scents usually wear off until it smells like chemicals. This is the only perfume I wear now, and I'm a really picky person. Since you need so little of this, the bottle will last a long time. I've been using this for more than 6 months, and I used about a quarter.
