WoodyWhat does Déclaration Cologne smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits anyone wanting something light and close to the skin. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.
The top notes are bergamot, orange and mandarin orange, a fresh, fruity citrus opening. The heart brings coriander, ginger and cardamom for spice, with hedione softening it. The base of vetiver and cedarwood leaves a green, woody dryness. Mugler Hot Cologne and Molinard Gingembre have a close profile.
