Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Déclaration Parfum
This one's a divisive beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, spicy journey that's definitely not for everyone - the cumin note particularly polarises opinion, smelling like exotic spices to some and body odour to others. Definitely sample before committing.
Statement
Our Verdict - Follow Your Instinct EDP
A playful citrus-spice that's seen a bit of a glow-up since its launch. Initially dismissed as fleeting and uninspired, some reckon it opens up nicely, especially in the heat. Don't expect miracles, but for a cheapie, it holds its own.

Season and Occasion Fit

Déclaration

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

This perfume is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, thanks to its bold spicy and woody accords. While too strong for many office environments and completely unsuitable for sport, its sophisticated character makes it a strong contender for dates and formal occasions, despite some reports of middling longevity.

Follow Your Instinct

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and light profile, coupled with reports of average projection and longevity, make it ideal for casual wear or the gym. While suitable for office, its lack of gravitas limits its use for formal events or a date night where you want to make a lasting impression.
