by Mathilde Laurent

Our verdict on Déclaration: Statement

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.

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

Best 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.

About

Imagine a rich, dark spiced orange opening, quickly deepened by the warm, aromatic embrace of cardamom and cumin. This leads to a sophisticated, dry down of leathery woods, vetiver, and subtle amber balsamic sweetness. It’s got a warm, almost animalic depth with a hint of smoky resin, reminiscent of an old-world study or perhaps a spice market.
