REVIEWS
Fragrantica - This is GORGEOUS and instantly went to the top of my to-buy list. I love fragrances with spices but sometimes they can be a bit too strong and overbearing. But this is a marvelous, spicy blend with this beautiful tea note and an almost watercolor sort of vibe. The cardamom note is so realistic - it smells exactly like pounding cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle. The cinnamon is definitely there (and I am happy that it is) but I feel like the cardamom is just as strong, as well as the ginger. The oversoul of the Declaration line emerges in the drydown, but for most of the life of the fragrance it's fairly linear and is basically a lovely, airy spicy delight. Seriously, if you're into spices this is a no-brainer. I'd sort of describe it as like a chai without milk.
Fragrantica - A better and more suitable alternative to Clive X
Fragrantica - Déclaration Eau de Parfum Cartier: The Spiced Tea
This is essentially a beautiful tea fragrance mixed with a variety of spices. The cardamom is the most dominant to my nose, but you can feel all the other spices working in the background. It reminds me exactly of a special tea I make with white and green tea, cinnamon, and lots of cardamom. It is masterfully blended with high-quality materials. Since it has both refreshing tea and warm spices, it’s perfect for all seasons and feels perfectly unisex.
Fragrantica - Wow, just amazing. First of all people need to understand that cardamom and cinnamon are two different spices, and even though this has both, it is the best rendition of cardamom note in a designer scent, and not a cinnamon stick thrown into the perfume bottle like some of the comments suggest. If you want realistic cinnamon go try Eyes Closed by Byredo. It has been so long since I was impressed with a designer, because everything smells faint or like a room freshener or strait up alcohol, but not this. if you ever had the opportunity to grind the cardamom seeds in a pestle and then smell the spice it will smell exactly like the opening of Declaration and for that realistic approach I applaud the perfumer
Fragrantica -Wonderful take on the classic Déclaration. It is indeed quite spicy; cinnamon, cardamom and ginger are very noticeable. To me, this is very much in line with the Déclaration line, undeniably so. The cumin is even more toned down than in the Parfum version but it’s still quite present.
This perfume gives me so much joy. It’s a clear representation that great perfume can still be made by large houses at reasonable prices. This line is to me, a very good example of how good flankers are done. Each new flanker brings a different and unique facet to the original creation. This has probably become my favorite Déclaration and I am looking forward to trying the new Essence as well. Thank you Cartier & Delphine!
