What does Déclaration (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it wears comfortably in summer too. Daily wear, business and leisure lead the occasions. Many call it masculine and classic.

The top pairs bergamot and orange with the dry, slightly smoky edge of birch wood. In the heart, cardamom, mugwort and cedar push it towards a spicy, woody, green character. The base of vetiver, cedar and oakmoss leaves it dry and earthy. Cartier Déclaration Essence and Bond No. 9 Great Jones have a close profile.
