Birchbox Breakdown

A distinct take on Cartier’s Déclaration scent, Déclaration Essence builds upon the bestselling original. It features the same warm woody base but adds layers of fresh spices for an enticing finish. It’s sophisticated and sensual at the same time, making it a worthy addition to Cartier’s fragrance line—and ours.

How it Works

A harmonious blend of fresh, spicy, and woody notes makes for a fragrance that conveys both strength and elegance. A base of cedar wood and the robust warmth of cistus are topped off with refreshing orange and bergamot.

How to Use

Use sparingly on pulse points like the wrists and neck. This is a declaration, not an exclamation.

Very nice

I enjoy the smell a lot. I didn't think the smell had enough "musk" but my girlfriend really liked it and said it was better than some of my other colognes.

Excellent

I love this cologne. By far the very best sample that I received. I usually do not wear cologne but when I do it is this one.

Thanks but no thanks

Strong enough for a man but clearly scented for a woman. The scent is long lasting and very delicate, like an old lady scent. Definitely not for me.

Good quality

A really great smell on this, I think perfect for all year round which could justify the high price tag.

Awesome cologne

This cologne is great! The smell is great from the start, without being too overwhelming or smelling typical and manufactured. It lasts all day, and only develops and becomes distinctive as time passes. My lady loves it, and I'll definitely be coming back for more.

Nice smell

I'm not usually in the fragrances with a hint of spice but my girlfriend loves the smell, so that's a win.

Okay, seriously

This stuff smells fantastic. I don't usually wear cologne but I am a huge fan of Cartier Declaration -- I think it has a really nice piney base with lots of other things going on. I don't think it's a particularly strong or overpowering scent. I would give this 5 stars, except I think it's so incredibly expensive that I just can't. Still, the fact that I, a cheapskate, am considering plunking down for the full bottle is telling.

Strange Mix

This fragrance is one that I wanted to love but I found the mix of citrus and spice to be confusing rather than alluring. The citrus not was just a touch too sugary to blend in with the rich spices.
The scent did last for the entire day, however.
