Description
Cartier is revamping one of their best-selling fragrances in the entire portfolio, Déclaration, a masculine cologne by perfume Jean Claude Ellena, with a new flanker, out in the mainstream Cartier counters in October 2012.
Déclaration d’un Soir, a new fragrance for men, reprises the cold spices of the original, thanks to perfumer Mathilde Laurent‘s idea of not messing with something good but going for a much more subversive interpretation in men’s fragrance. Essentially a huge rose with thorns, given the woody backdrop, it is boosted with cardamom and a very perceptible pepper spray top note to refresh and give piquancy. The woodiness comes from sandalwood.
A romantic and heady affair, in house Cartier perfume Mathilde Laurent revealed that she created it to “make the heart beat faster and to drive men to speak their minds.”
The concentration of Déclaration d’un Soir is Eau de Toilette, coming in 100ml/3.4oz sizes. The new bottle is identical to the classic Déclaration, with its watch wrist winder top, but with Déclaration d’un Soir written vertically under the name to denote the different take.

It’s a very nice scent. Calm, seductive, sexy, yet gentlemanly. The rose is definitely there but the overall scent is decidedly masculine. Longevity is monstrous; it lasts almost 12 hours on my skin. The atomizer is also very satisfying to press and gives a nice mist.
That said, I don’t think I would wear this very often nor recommend it to younger guys. To me, this scent is for an accomplished professional who exudes confidence and gravitas.
cipa1982 – :
I am a fan of Cartier fragrances. I love almost all of their colognes. This is by far my favorite and has a special place in my heart. The rich Rose just stays on my skin for more than 9 hours, however the projection stops around 3-4 hours.
If you want to get into Rose fragrance, just get this. Look no further.
I haven’t given it much of a wearing as this is a special occasion fragrance. Save it for creating memories.
There are other options mostly blended with oud. While this is blended with nice rich spice. Love it love it

андрей1 – :
This is a beautiful, unisex, spicy woody rose. It’s a fresh bright clear rose in the opening, but then softens and sweetens a bit as it dries down. I definitely get the pepper, the cardamom, and the sandalwood in this one, but none of the notes are harsh in any way—they are creamy and make this a good year-round fragrance. This is sexy, but also very happy. I quite enjoy it.
NoFly – :
Bonjour à tous
Je viens ď acquérir ce parfum ď après les commentaires précédents..
Trop d éloges et de “chef d œuvre .”
J arrive à sentir une légère et vieille rose
Pour résumer : un pot pourri de roses séchées.
Grande déception
Mise à jour après quelques semaines d utilisations :
Sur ma peau > pas d odeur
Sur du coton > rose séchée poussièreuse , pot pourri des grands
mères
Sur du synthétique > odeur de rose diluée avec une odeur piquante de tige verte.
Ne vous attendez à rien d autre.

A Woody Rose Masterpiece! Niche quality. Great performance. End.
guzelshaid – :
I am fan of rose frags, but it is hard to make a good impression on women when your wearing it as a men…
Most of rose smelling are somehow boozy or fruity, this one is dry, and I love it!
Not sure if it does contain real rose essence in it but that the kind of rose feeling I like.
It’s smells like a nice man, with good taste. Far from sweet “sexy wanna be” fragrances!
Yes, it reminds me of Yves Rocher Comme une évidence. Except YR is more peppery to my nose.
It reminds me also Artisan Parfumeur Voleur de roses.
alkacenia – :
A beautiful rose scent with a spicy, sandalwood base which has great longevity and projection throughout its duration. I get 8+ hours from 3 sprays.
The opening is a full on beautiful rose note with cardamom and black pepper. As the scent dries down the sandalwood comes through beautifully and balances the rose and spice perfectly.
Beautifully blended scent which I highly recommend to anyone who loves rose in their scents. I consider this a unisex scent and a must try for anyone looking for a great performing formal evening dressed up scent.
8/10
Cipsbindbop – :
If Déclaration d’un Soir evokes images of grandmothers or anything feminine, for that matter, you simply lack the maturity and sophistication to appreciate rose in a masculine fragrance. Applied with subtlety and restraint, D’un Soir is best enjoyed in the dry-down. Too heavy an application tends to be cloying. Bearing that proviso in mind, Déclaration d’un Soir embodies sensuality for ardent fans of rose and pepper notes.
robertstar – :
I want to like it soooo much, but I just can’t recently. I don’t want to smell like my own grandmother (Burberry London make this so much better 😉 ), and since this thing is very heavy on the rose, this is the situation. It can be worn by older women, really…. but.. if you are a romantic guy this gem can be good for you, just keep in mind this: this requiers some coolness, so put up a leather jacket and boots, go and look like a man, a bad boy, and if you do so, it won’t be confusing, you’ll be uniqe, a playboy, an amoroso 😀 If you wear this in a casual outfit, people would think you’re a weirdo… in a bad way 😀
Anyway.. I still try this maybe I’ll come to like it 🙂
Smeappypleara – :
One of the best rose scents a man can wear. I still find this unisex though, and smell better in heat or intimate situations.
A romantic scent and something seductive, but yet not overtly so.
I get 3 to 5 hours longevity and poor projection, but it doesn’t need to be loud for romantic situations.
Recommended and I think more men need to try this out. I would direct you to the intense version for better longevity, but this one smells a little brighter and sexier.
If you loved midnight in paris this might be your new love, if you don’t mind a little more floral and less powder
One of the best date scents for the money
SAndreyV – :
This smells of roses, a green meadow, and the clean outdoors. Too bad it makes my head hurt.
virus.serzh – :
One of my favorite summer scents, the kind that makes you keep smelling your shirt, this made me love the smell of rose in men’s fragrances, absolute gem & I’m keeping this in my summer collection forever, lastes over 12 hours, I love it.
whophyCew – :
Wow! This is really, really good. Fairly linear but it’s a fresh, green, slightly spicy, juicy rose over creamy soft woods and it is magnificent. Smells like a wearable and more masculine la fille de berlin by serge lutens. This is great stuff. The bottle is really beautiful too. I am just blown away by how rich, smooth and elegant this is while staying more masculine than Fille de Berlin – if less dense. This is definitely an intoxicating beautiful rose.
This makes my heart race. This is elegant and gangster at the same time. This is just so beautiful.
I think it’s fine for high heat summer. There are things that strike me as more seasonally appropriate come colder weather. Spring and summer both seem great for this. I am also fine to wear this casually or dressed up. I think on a tougher guy this is actually very nice casually. Easily sophisticated enough for a full suit.
Petrik.E97 – :
In my opinion it was designed for formal occasions – suit, white shirt, night time. Spring&fall, it is not very sweet, but still too sweet to wear in summer. Rose and sandalwood is nicely noticed. Pepper note is too weak on my skin, that’s a shame. I’m 28 but I think I am not ready for it. It is a lovely scent, but it projects weakly on me and simply does not fit. I’m recommending this juice, but please test it first, blind buy doesn’t work here.
bmw325 – :
Definitely one of my most complimented & versatile rose fragrance ever. Fresh, elegant and simply beautiful on my skin. Easily wear everyday, everytime and every kind of situations.
Alibek-55 – :
This stuff is beastly but that’s the only good thing about it. Barely masculine and very mature. Unisex. I can’t find anything slightly sexy about it like some people like to describe it, wish I could. The rose is so strong. This is what a candle for the home would smell like. If you actually want a legit masculine rose then dsquared potion royal black, that will knock your socks off and truely show you what a decent masculine rose is with a nasty edge and make this seem like a little girl In a flower garden. I still can’t get over how strong this stuff is!
yvm – :
I finally got to try this about a month ago, at the same time that I got to smell a few rom ford fragrances (for the 1st time actually smelling them w/ bottle in front of me) , anyway this one was the stand out bastard this one mesmerized me and it has been in my mind since, the Tom fords were very good too, favs were Oud Wood and Neroli Portofino forte. But the declaration d’un Soir is just magic it has the X factor that you always hear me talking about when you’re at home, wondering where the voice is coming from. Anyway I hear a lot of ppl say declaration d’un Soir is just simple rose nutmeg and that if you don’t love rose, u won’t like this one. Well that is a long shot from the truth I personally don’t like wearing rose centric fragrances, I don’t hate it I just don’t get much pleasure out of em. THIS ON THE LTHWR HAND, this has got such a beautiful spice/wood accord equallly mixed with this very abstracted rose note
crushml – :
This is a fragrance I envision Dracula wearing if he wore a fragrance. The one word that comes to mind from the aroma of this fragrance is ‘romantic’. This is due to the dominant note in it being the smell of rose, mixed with sandalwood and lots of pepper as well as hints of cardamom and nutmeg to make it a very masculine rose fragrance (which is pretty rare). The rose is also extremely well done and smells like fresh rose petals. On drydown it’s mostly rose and sandalwood. The overall impression is of a very unique spicy and woody rose scent that works for men, although I think women could wear this too just due to the rose note. The rose note is really well done as well, and smells like real roses. This is definitely a night time fragrance or one to wear with formal clothes (in fact the name ‘d’un soir’ literally means ‘of an evening’ in French); it doesn’t work for casual situations at all. Sillage is moderate while longevity is also moderate but leaning strong. The bottle is also very interestingly designed, and features an innovative lock feature. Overall, I think this is Cartier’s finest work in their fragrance line.
4.5/5
KoXa551 – :
I love this fragrance. Is masterpiece! Roses, Roses & Roses. The dry down is gorgeous. Compare to the dry down of the Intense version which is more powdery and reminds me of No 3 Bella Bellissima.
nastuha – :
To me, this is Mathilde Laurent’s greatest piece of work. Simply one of the best modern designer releases in the past decade.
Fresh. Energetic. Invigorating. Elegant. Intelligent. Sensual.
Chapeau!
Улькиорра – :
Holy crap, i just got a decant of this and it is one of the most beautiful fragrance that i have ever smell. Everytime i smell it, it have this relaxing effect that makes me want to fo sleep. It does not smell feminine at all. I have found my signature fragrance guys.
Scent: 9.5/10
Sillage: 7/10
Longevity: 8/10
I would wear this in the office and upscale event and maybe a date.
misya – :
turpentine???? hahaha no way-beautiful scent and strong and unique.Fresh and sexy
pang – :
Very unique and strong scent. Do not over spray, first time I was wearing this I did 6 or 7 sprays aaaand I got headache.
Overall good scent if you want to be unique. I think it is best with formal clothes.
RecoRdeR – :
Classy, clean, fresh and spicy rose is this one. I can see myself going on some dressed up event smelling like this, and nothing would make me happier. Others can have their Sauvage-s and Bleu de Chanel-s, I will smell unique and sophisticated 🙂
Performance is amazing. You put this stuff on today, and the smell will hit you tomorrow when you expect the least, or even the day after if you spray your clothes 🙂
Guys, don’t think that that it is feminine because it smells like a rose. Although I can see a women wearing it, I DO think it is masculine scent.
Smell: 9/10
Longevity: 9/10
Sillage: 9/10
ara.garage – :
A few days ago i wrote a review stating that i didn’t liked this fragrance, BUT i decided to give it one more chance and OH MY GOD i admit that i have changed in a very radical way my opinion about this scent, i dont know what happened to me when i first sprayed this that i didn’t liked it, i dont know if it was my body chemistry at the moment or that i was recovering from a terrible cold/flu that my nostrils were not in the mood for the smell of this beauty, but now IM IN LOVE WITH IT, I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Its a very elegant and sexy smell, its a very masculine rose not a feminine one, and along with the spices it creates a very pleasing, manly, elegant, sophisticated, soft and strong scent at the same time. This fragrance is for elegant ocassions, suit and tie, and tuxedo, i consider it a very formal scent,for the office if you work in an elegant place, for weddings, diplomatic receptions, opera, elegant dinners,and for dating that special someone.This one is not casual and not for the teenager crowd, i think the age range for this juice is for men 25 and up that are classy and have style, not for guys who love shorts and flip flops….. It is one of the best rose scents ive ever had, and also i found some kind of a middle eastern or persian touch with this scent, perhaps it is the combination of the spices with the rose that give it that vibe. It projects very well, it lasts on my skin for about 8 to 10 hours and moderate sillage. This one is great in all seasons but it performs great during winter and summer, specially in the night..
Great work from Mathilde Laurent, i think this flanker is great, for me the original Declaration made by Jean Claude Ellena and this Declaration d’un soir are the best of the Declaration line. Well done Cartier…
I give this one 10/10………… 10/10……….
Arh512 – :
I don’t get any rose on my skin. On the paper strip, it has a strong rose note. I get green note mixed with sandalwood.
P.SI do detect a light rose note
Dead1996 – :
Opening: This scent opens up spicy and green, with a dominant rose. The rose quickly fades away on my skin as it dries slightly into a scent reminiscent of citronella.
1st Hour: After around 5 minutes, the rose starts to make its way back up, and projects moderately for around 30 minutes to an hour.
Cont.: On my skin, it basically turns into a skin scent and for the life of me I can’t seem to get it to perform properly. Around the 3rd hour the rose note seems to fade into the background but is somehow reactivated by humid air after hours in dry air-conditioning.
Conc.: I love this scent, it smells wonderful when the rose is up there and projecting. However, it has horrible and inconsistent performance on my skin. The characteristic of this scent however, is that it stays on the skin for a really darn long time. I’ve bathed in the evening only to smell whiffs of it from my pillow when I wake in the morning.
Probably need to do a little more testing.
Wear: If your masculinity could be severely hampered by some sort of delicate rose, you should give this a pass. That said, this could be a work scent if you have a BIT more of an effeminate character, but it is very sexy on slightly more dominant men. It works for day dates but I feel it’s not dark or alluring enough for romantic evening encounters.
Additional Edit: Without the rose note projection, it smells dirty. Dirt pepper and cardamom. I’d only recommend its use in a humid environment.
Final Edit: Unfortunately, this has fallen out of favour. I simply do not enjoy the spices, and it lacks a certain refinement of quality, along with inconsistent performance.
Attella – :
Really thick feminine rose aspect. Smells exactly like lipstick on my skin from initial spray to dry down hours later. Rose note is very synthetic and gets thicker and more obnoxiously prominent with time. I DO NOT recommend very glad I only bought a $5 sample before making a definite decision. If the rose note was not synthetic and had a much lighter “Airy” natural scent character this scent would be a total knockout 10 of 10
DianeNeos – :
This fragrance is another men’s elegance. I have the original one and love it but this d’un soir went to next level of actually masculinity. I read a lot of reviews saying that they smell lots of roses but for me I can’t smell any roses but loud woody (sandalwood) notes all the way sprinkled with spices which is a very dry and intense yet elegant oriental scent.
I almost feel like visiting an ancient temple in Asia or something and makes me feel calm and in a Zen mode.
I definitely love the scent and the way consistently stays on my skin. This fragrance is maybe not for young boy/guy type such as Eros by Versace or 1 million by Paco Rabanne but more sophisticated and elegant sexy men fragrance. Calm, woody, sophisticated, elegant and sexy. I don’t think it’s an old guy’s fragrance either but it’s definitely for simple but well dressed man’s fragrance. I recommend this as one of your collection.
Wrallsuhkar – :
Rose Rose Rose !
Nice scent
but i guess too soft for a man ???
морик – :
Strange, different, but not in a bad way. Very feminine (or unisex at the least), very rosy, but kinda nice. Not for the young crowd, inoffensive, distinguished, formal. The original declaration is very much in the background and pops up from time to time, which is a good think. Clever how they did that! Overal a nice, rose, formal scent for a real gentleman. I give it a 7, won’t buy it again but have no regrets for this bottle.
Yess13 – :
Yep, Rose, lots of rose!
Initially I dismissed this as too feminine, but I’ve completely changed my mind.
This is very sophisticated for a man and quite versatile.
Disappointingly, my wife doesn’t like this, so I’ve started wearing it for work as I really enjoy it.
I have tried several others in the Declaration range and they all have the Declaration DNA, but this doesn’t. I don’t say that as either a positive or a negative, just an observation.
Great scent though and one of my cooler weather favourite’
denned – :
If you love rose, try this out because this one is amazing! It’s not irritating at all, so idk why it’s under spicy category. Such a refreshing scent with rose, sandal wood, pepper blended well together. If you are talking about elegant, this is it.
Stas046 – :
This is not for the crowd or for complements.
It just is for you If you are dressed up and want to smell classy.
Special and romantic scent but not many will appreciat it.
Projection and longevity are super.
drezden630 – :
Incredibly classy. I imagine that to the average nose, this smells like a very very expensive fragrance that can’t be purchased just anywhere. It’s for a man who knows who he is and who knows how to smell “fresh” in very luxurious way. For me, this is THE scent of Cartier. Completely unisex, and it sends out a signal to everyone that you have money, albeit in the classiest way. Although it smells nothing at all like Creed Silver Mountain Water, I would put the two in the same category. All-season, luxurious, understated wealth.
ktjybl – :
If you’re into smelling like a walking bouquet of roses this is the one!
Nemat – :
I received a free sample of this and overall am not impressed. I get the rose, sandalwood and black pepper but is not a nice combo on my skin. I have much better rose fragrances. Sillage and longevity not great, so overall I will not be buying a bottle. More on the feminine side as well.
TEA737 – :
My gf wrote this review, after wearing this a couple times I gave it to her.
“Floating in a pool of flower petals, sun dappling through the gentle breezy trees, water lapping at your sides. A nearby sign declares “no men allowed.” Free of smelly socks, broken toenails, and beard hair in the sink. Breathe freely and relish the moment for it will leave suddenly and soon.”
WBED – :
I love this sent at first but after a bit I find my self getting annoyed with it, I guess because it last and last and LAST a long time on me but well the pepper seems almost scratchy smelling to me marked with the caraway it just starts to annoy me after a bit wishing it would just end
these are the reasons I like it rather then love it
it’s just the same through the whole thing to me
I mean it has some changes just quite sub-tell most miss it
pepper is always there it’s kinda piercing a bit to if you know what I mean
Wekss – :
Better than the original and essence. The original I like, essence I sort of like, this one I really like. More fruity than the notes would suggest. Similar to this but better: “guerlain habit rouge l’eau” now that’s a love.
zeus71 – :
Incredible juice! I tend to hate woody fragrances, but this is something else. It’s masculine but definitely unisex for my nose. Dominant notes for me: rose, caraway, fresh spices, and sandalwood.
I picture it as a gentlemen in a light colored suit or an independent woman in a maxi dress.
What i really love is the caraway which really gives it a depth. It gives this cool vibe that makes me keep sniffing back.
Longevity is outstanding (8h on my skin, in a tropical weather, sillage is good even after 4 hours. Versatility? Definitely an all year fragrance.
Overall 8.5
sanjoks212 – :
Excellent fragrance for men – classy, masculine, elegant, and with above average projection and longevity. A few sprays to the chest lasted my entire work day. A few gents in the office wear this, and it gets compliments from mostly women co-workers and clients. The sandalwood and pepper make it masculine, I don’t get much rose, this is neither unisex or feminine to my nose and the ladies in our office. It could be a very nice summer signature scent for a businessman. Ideal with a light color suit or sport jacket and nice crisp freshly ironed white or light blue shirt. Would make an exceptional first date scent, or a summer night out with your wife or girlfriend. Excellent value at about $30 for 3.3oz.
Scent – 8/10
Projection – 8/10
Longevity – 9/10 (on my skin)
Value – 10/10
Overall – 9/10
zidreh – :
Declaration d’Un Soir is a very fresh rose mixed with some strong spices. There is not too much going on, but what you get is a very pleasant, highly versatile male scent that could actually work for women as well (in my opinion at least). Lasts a long time and projects quite well too. Definitely do try it, could become one of your summer signature scents.
soud – :
Bulgarian rose damascena…
Andreyderka – :
Shy girl in the class!
In my opinion, Portrait of a Lady is the best rose fragrance in the market. The transition between bright, modern and dark rose is unmistakeable in Ropion’s creation. If you don’t meet astronmic price of Malle fragrances, d’Un Soir will satisfy those rose enthusiasts.
I like associating fragrances with the individuals. D’un soir resembles me a shy, beautiful girl in a class, who does not speak at all and wanted to be explored by a stranger for opening her own world.
Everything is clearly explained about the fragrance character below by Ivanus. Rose note supported with the spice and sandalwood. Black pepper gives the necessary masculinity; sandalwood and nutmag provide the creaminess.
Although i have a decent skin for fragrances, performance of d’Un Soir was dissapointed me. I got 5- 6 hours longevity and 1 hour moderate sillage with 6 sprays. Need reapply for a regular workday. I think, this best suits for car trips with your girl or library head to head studies with the folks.
Definitely all year around fragrance and can be worn any clothes even with a morning robe.
Not bottle worthy for me, because i am not a big fan of rose. My 10 ml decant enough for now. I need some time to adapt myself with this femine flower note. However, i definitely give compliment if someboy wears this around me.
Overall: 7/10
siptFippila – :
This is a very elegant spicy rosey scent. It has amazing quality, lasts almost 5-6hrs and it’s a favorite amongst my circle of friends. I always get asked what I’m wearing whenever I wear this

83KR71KR – :
This stuff works really well on my skin. I get some pretty good sillage and longevity (8 hrs).
I am not a big fan of rose, but this fragrance does it so well…I can’t help but love the smell.
The way I would describe this is sensual intriguing and mysterious.
It has a strong alluring feature to it that has people asking “What is that you’re wearing?”
The only downside to this is that I can’t recommend it to everyone. It has a very metrosexual vibe to (similar in style to la nuit de l’homme but note necessarily similar in actual smell) so if you’re into super masculine scents, forget this one. But if you are a guy that takes care of himself and super groomed with a metro vibe I would say go for it.
dementor90886 – :
Ce parfum m’a laissé une sensation étrange. Je ne suis pas fan de rose en général mais la elle est spéciale. Je le trouve froid et humide comme la pierre et la terre après la pluie… Sa couleur lui va à la perfection. Je comprends que certain(e)s le trouvent triste. Si une maison hantée devait sentir quelque chose ça serait ça. Si Dracula devait porter un parfum ça serait celui la…
Je l’ai porté quelque fois mais je le trouve trop linéaire et je m’en suis lassé même si ça reste un parfum que j’aime sentir.
leka7 – :
This is a very fresh, yet dusty rose and sandalwood fragrance. Very refreshing fragrance for those who love rose. The sandalwood mellows out the rose during the dry down. A nice sophisticated scent.
aderof – :
opening is a heavy blast of red rose. Very sophisticated scent. What I love of this fragrance is the peppery dry down.
Scent: 10/10
Sillage: 09/10
longevity: 09/10
instantly my top 2 of my signature scent.
stilet – :
A clean, airy, rose-based fragrance. But just too “rosy” for me.
vik_taras – :
For men? No, for everyone!
I wear this one and I get a lot of the rose and pepper with some spice. It’s unexpected and quite lovely on woman.
Kshetra – :
I really like finding out fragrances that are good or very good but don’t get the attention they deserve. And while I don’t love it, Declaration d’un Soir is still one of them.
It starts fresh,”wet”, mentholated and peppery. As time goes on it stays very similar all the way through but turns not as airy as the rose subsides, the spices become softer leaving more space to the creamy, pale sandalwood.
While I can really appreciate rose as a background note, I’ve basically almost never enjoyed a cologne where it’s the dominant one. But sandalwood is among my favorite notes so I was intrigued by it. Here the rose gives a very important, interesting and ethereal side to the leading peppery, spicy (dry, sharp cumin) sandalwood. So even if you’re not a fan of rose, and especially if you love woody scents like I do, give this one a serious test.
This is a perfect “in between” weather scent. And also if you feel unsafe wearing something that is not “super masculine”, that even some people consider unisex, DON’T try this one for nothing. This is in a nutshell the new contemporary, classy, confident, well groomed and clean metrosexual man or for a woman for that matter
Mebzj566Diobtetty – :
better then most versions of this scent
the rose stands out nicely and makes the opening very pleasant unfortunately like most declarations it has this really sharp note that i find to heady 🙁
be careful when spraying because if you over do it by one it turns into a scrubber instantly
the hunt continues for a declaration version that works for me
on to the next
Лёха_Ржавый – :
when first smell it it is OK with the rose notes, but when you smell it for 3 mins, the sunthetic rose notes start to get annoying and you want to clean it as soon as possible, fragboystewie made me buy this horrible scent, don’t know if he has any standard at all
zephs – :
I make it a point not to try the same Declaration flanker twice; when one is finished I move on to another. I know full well that no matter what–I’m going to get the Declaration DNA with a little something on the side.
The side here is a Rose / Pepper combo–and it is crisp, fresh and mostly natural feeling too.
It’s great–albeit a bit on the cold side.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m perfectly happy with my $34.00 purchase! You might be too.
Like I said- this has a cold feeling to it so it might be great for summer / hot weather.
I will probably not re-purchase this one and move on to my next Declaration flanker (and there are a lot of ’em”) LOL
I just wish the longevity was a little better. But for the low price–I can afford 10 spritzes instead of my usual 2 or 3.
chipa7r – :
I agree with the review below from Josephazzato. A lot of women like to call a man’s cologne “unisex” so they can wear it without worrying they’ll smell like a man. Although I don’t find Declaration d’Un Soir Cartier uber-masculine, it certainly is a man’s scent, according to my wife and her female co-workers. Nonetheless, if you’re a woman and enjoy wearing this, that is your choice. If it makes you happy wear it. Just keep in mind there will be some people that will think you smell “like a man” because this does have a lot of notes traditionally found in men’s colognes. But as always, wear the F what you want.
barbys – :
Cartier knows how to make your suite more attractive… No really, oldies but goodies. No bubble gum, no sweet shit and heavy stuff that makes you piss rainbow. Just rose with sandalwood, it’s like yin & yang, great ballance and harmony for one sophisticated man.
ely112 – :
Feminine, synthetic, suffocating. IMHO Vetyverio contains much healthier rose.
Weri93 – :
This is definitely unisex in my book.good for both men and women
I expect to smell such scents in niche perfumes so I find it high-quality
It’s notes list truely expresses how it smells.peppery rose+spices+creamy sandalwood.simple but lovely
I like it for mild weather,all in all it’s wearable year round
Longevity and sillage are both very good.I bought a 12.5 mil of it without test for my hubby but now that I’ve tried it I think I’m going to borrow it sometimes.it reminds me chloe intense but much better
