The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Cartier, Declaration Parfum is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Mathilde Laurent. The composition opens with the bright freshness of bitter orange, which immediately gives way to a heart of spices, cardamom, and cumin, creating a warm and spicy tension. At its core, the fragrance features leather, cedar, benzoin, tolu balsam, vetiver, and amberwood, blending rich warmth with an animalic undertone that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Declaration Parfum is best applied in small doses — two sprays are enough for it to develop fully on your skin. The fragrance's aromatic top notes dissipate quickly, but the base notes emerge within an hour and carry through the day.
