Everyone might think I’m a bit off, but in an unusual way, this perfume smells like Yardley lipstick! Yardley lipsticks have a very distinct, strong scent and can last for decades if stored properly. I still have my lipstick from 1967, and it smells just as fresh today. So, Divine Decadence has a scent that's similar to Yardley lipstick—not exactly the same, but noticeable when I wear it. Every so often, I catch a whiff, and **poof**, I think of Yardley. Needless to say, I absolutely love this perfume!
This perfume is something special—reminds me straight up of tamarindo candy, and I absolutely love that! My family doesn’t quite get it, but I don’t care because the way it makes me feel is just so beautiful and unique. It’s a keeper for sure!
This perfume doesn't make a good first impression. It starts off as sweet but quickly becomes overwhelming, which I find quite off-putting. The use of saffron is particularly odd, as it often feels out of place in perfumes, and when combined with vanilla, it just gets worse. The overall scent feels too similar to those girly Daisy-like perfumes, which I find a bit awkward. While I didn't care for this version much, I did prefer the EDP iteration better.
This perfume is quite pricey, but I went ahead and purchased it anyway. I have a tendency to make impulsive decisions when it comes to perfumes. It opens with a powerful saffron note that immediately evokes memories of the original Decadence. Last year, I fell for the plum in Decadence, but now I understand why! It was actually the saffron that captivated me. Divine Decadence is a sweet, white floral scent that unfolds in an intriguing way. You get that strong blast of saffron upfront, reminiscent of the original, followed quickly by sweet champagne and honeysuckle. Suddenly, I can also detect gardenia, vanilla, and amber. This version feels less heavy than its predecessor and lacks orris root, so it's not a powdery experience. The drydown happens quickly, which prevents it from becoming overwhelming—no sugar bomb here! Where Decadence leans woody, this one dries down into a warm, sweet white amber. At 33, I don't want to come off as too young, but honestly, I don't care what others think. Wearing this perfume makes me feel vibrant and joyful. It reminds me of spring and Easter, which adds to its lively charm.
At first glance, I thought it wasn't too bad, but then it suddenly turned into a very intense floral scent that made my stomach turn. The sharp, woody, prickly odor just got worse until it felt like I had to wash it off immediately. I've never had such a strong dislike for a perfume as this one.
