Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Déclaration begins with a vibrant kick of ginger and cardamom, soon enveloping you in warm cinnamon that dances playfully with rich, smoky tea. The heart unfolds smoothly, introducing an intriguing conflict between the lightness of the tea and the deep, spicy base. It settles down into a comforting, warm spice blend that evokes a sense of cozy evenings and herbal steeping moments. This scent is perfect for those who appreciate the complexity of spices woven with subtle smokiness, making it a fragrant journey.
