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

Product Information

Backed by synthetics the roses intense, stops strangers in their way, just to take a little sniff of the ripples it creates in the air. A whole 9 months of maturity has needed this comment after I first became intimate with this fragrance. I could see any age wearing this, from the most mature 20 year old professional to the most playful 80 year old retiree. Before I now digress further and ask questions of principle, I would like to devote myself to this wonderful niche or designer fragrance. Essentially a huge rose with thorns, given the woody backdrop, it is boosted with cardamom and a very perceptible pepper spray top note to refresh and give piquancy.

The perfumer of "Déclaration d'un Soir" - Mathilde Laurent (*1976) - studied biology and chemistry at ISIPCA ("Institut Supérieur du Parfum des Cosmétiques et des Aromes" in Versailles), where Francis Kurkdjian and some of the protagonists of "A Dozen Roses for Men" also studied. The perfumer Mathilde Laurent created this version under the concept of freeing the men, encouraging them to make passionate statements.Unfortunately this really reminds me of a particular air freshener my grandmother had in the 1970s and there is a menthol note that I can't get past. Once again, she is beautifully turned out, and he is dressed in jeans and a t shirt which looks like an undershirt.

To talk about passion and romance, she decided to take the risk and bring the rose as a central ingredient, changing the olfactory signature of the line, which has always worked on manly notes of cardamom, coriander, caraway, and vetiver. So one evening after work took a shower and decided to look under my cabinet to look at what choices I had to just apply something different from what I’ve been using. And by the way this is - from my point of view - the consequent further development of the original fragrance "Déclaration" from 1998. As others have mentioned, the rose here is extremely earthy, as if you're smelling the leaves, thorns, and stem and not just the petals.The black pepper, cardamom, and caraway create a spicy note that feels slightly bitter, green, earthy, minty, and woody, it and creates a unique, different, masculine, and pleasant opening with a vetiver-like accord. This is a thorny, green, self-assuming rose that blooms against the pepper and caraway of the opening. On one side the "hardness" of the unapproachable sharpness, and on the other the proximity of the soft dark red rose that I have in mind. Between the perfume version of Déclaration, d’un Soir and L’Envol I’m finding these three are being used more than my large stashes of Guerlains that I own.
