What do reviewers say about Violet Noir and Decadence?
This is the fragrance that starts fruity-sweet and ends somewhere darker. The patchouli in the base gives it an edge that the opening doesn't promise, and that's the whole point.Violet Noir
Decadence is plum-forward and surprisingly lush without being sweet. The iris-saffron combo keeps it from becoming a typical fruity floral, and the papyrus-vetiver drydown adds a dry, intellectual.Decadence
