WoodyWhat does Déclaration d'Un Soir smell like?
The top notes of cardamom, cumin and pepper give it a spicy opening. Rose and nutmeg follow in the heart, bringing a floral, slightly sweet turn. Sandalwood anchors the base in a woody dry-down, while the sweet and synthetic accords stay in the background.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to spring and fall, and while evening and night out lead the occasions, daily and business wear get votes too. Most voters read it as masculine, with a fair share calling it classic. Its profile is close to Urban Scents Desert Rose and LPDO Folies d'Épices.
