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 - Adam EDP

This one's a proper punch to the senses. Adam is a brash, divisive leather scent that some will adore for its price point and others will find utterly unbearable. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like risking a headache.

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.

Adam

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Date

Given the 'very very strong' reviews, Adam is far too potent for the office. Its bold leather and amber notes make it a daring choice for a date night, but it's likely too intense for casual wear or formal events.
