Cartier Declaration D'un Soir Eau De Toilette Spray for Men, 30 ml

Product Information

After an hour or so the fragrance falls apart on my skin and the remainder smells a bit synthetic, dusty with still a hint of the rose. Top notes are Black Pepper, Cardamom and Caraway; middle notes are Rose and Nutmeg; base note is Sandalwood.

The fragrance is against expectation very masculine, which is why I see this fragrance completely correctly categorized. The original Declaration (different perfumer, different perfume) is also a marvel, a transparent and very modern almost but not quite aquatic spicy vetiver that I also wear and love. Sure, there is a certain synthetic quality to both of them, which is also quite striking and blatant, but it doesn't bother me at all with both scents.

It is worth noting that she also creates custom-made perfumes, an extremely demanding job regarding patience and time. That one is more peppery and woody but is similar especially in the dry down, where the rose comes in. He was most likely thinking of Tuscan wine, and I often have similar thoughts over a glass of Chianti—even some of the most humble small production wines from that region can be transcendental). You are browsing a different version of the menu as you have changed resolution from desktop to mobile or from mobile to desktop. Then shortly before our first date: "Come on, you can't wear the Le Male now, everybody knows it anyway and in France even more boys" I said to myself.

Don't be intimidated with the rose note, because it's such a manly and well blended rose fragrance and any guys shouldn't be afraid of wearing this fragrance. Declaration d’Un Soir is like the petals of that same exquisite rose scattered in a layer over a sparkling fountain—or a bathtub scented with rare spices. On top of that though the spices are quite nice and so you have this airy spicy fragrance overall that projects and lasts quite well. The original déclaration is available since 1998 and L'Homme since 2006, but I have to say that I find the déclaration terrible and I don't even know L'Homme.There are wafts of this during the drydown which are bizarrely reminiscent of tart, slightly spoiled raspberries, while other whiffs register the more straightforward image of whole roses buried underneath a pile of charred wood and then sprinkled with black pepper (sadly, I don't pick up on the cardamom).
