What does Déclaration Essence smell like?

It has moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards business and daily wear, and also suits leisure time. Voters mostly find it masculine and classic.

It opens with the brightness of bergamot and orange, while cedar draws a woody line beneath the citrus. In the heart, oakmoss, cardamom and birch bring out the green and spicy side. Vetiver, rosewood and moss settle it onto a dry, woody base. Cartier Déclaration (Eau de Toilette) and Bond No. 9 Great Jones have a close profile.
