Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Declaration Essence

A modern classic that elevates the best of Declaration, offering a more intense and elegant experience. It's a scent best suited for those who appreciate a mature character, though its divisive cumin note means it's not a blind buy for everyone. Some find it sophisticated, others can't get past a perceived body odour.

Our Verdict - 90 Pure White

A modern, clean, and understated fragrance that’s a dead ringer for Byredo Bal d'Afrique for a fraction of the price. The only downside is the performance, which is a bit of a letdown.

Season and Occasion Fit

Declaration Essence

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

With its strong and long-lasting performance, Declaration Essence is more suited for formal and date settings where its unique complexity can shine without overwhelming. Its clean, woody, and aromatic profile is also appropriate for the office if applied lightly, but it's not a scent for casual or sporty activities.

90 Pure White

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with poor longevity and sillage, makes it perfect for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. It's not punchy enough for formal events or evening dates.
