I perceive this one as a modern chypre with floral tones. It is citrus in a really exotic manner, it also contains rose-like notes and the classical patchouli-woods combo which, by the way are not done in the generic macho manner. At first, you may think this is another CK One, Azzaro Chrome( and any other citrus-floral scents), but it has more intense sillage, more character, projection. There are some sweet notes that linger through the development, adding even more refinement. The citrus notes are done in the 90s manner( this was released in 1998), but without becoming old fashioned. I do not consider this one as unisex( maybe in the 90s it could have been considered so), as it is also peppery.

Beautiful opening, but due to the cumin note, which is a very powerful note... all I could smell was taco meat. I love and appreciate Cartier, but Declaration is declared my least favorite.

After reading the Interview w/Jean-Claude Ellena by Michelyn Caman, I have been revisiting my fragrances created by him.
What else can I say that has not already been said about this classic and well developed fragrance.
I have re-purchased it since it introduction to my collection back in 1998. The second time I bought the largest bottle since I enjoy this scent.
It is like revisiting a good friend. One that you have not spoken to for while but able to pick up the conversation just like it was yesterday.
Declaration is like that friend. Each time I wear it, I am able to pick up were I left off (citrus notes) but able to continute to experience something new about the relationship we have.

To me, it smells like soap and deoderant. Very woodsy and not all that unisexual in my opinion. Not crazy about it, my boyfriend loves it though.

Clean and classic...but still very young.

A wonderful sexy, soft, warm and clean scent. It's a must have!

DECLARATION is a fragrance which combines fullness with nuance. A bouqet of cardamom, cold bursting, an almost metallic spice which illuminates the perfume like a laser. Cedar wood at once nervous and warm which gently adds warmth to the cardamom: a sharp, oriental, woody fragrance. This masculine scent possesses a blend of orange, cedar, birchwood, and oakmoss.

This is exact copy or predesessor (Who is original, I guess?) of STDupont pour homme - from the same 1998. - But unlike STDupont it has no: sharp attack and long green tail, so it is less complex. That is why it is less official and can be more attractive for the surrounding women. (If you prefer dating than making money in office).

This fragrance is so exotic, elegant, fine and SEXY. It is like walking into an enchanted forrest full of exotic plants and flowers with an aroma that will warm your heart.
Declaration reminds moe of one of the Abercrombie fragrances, not sure if its Fierce or #41, but it smells alot better and more exotic.
Some notable notes are those of black pepper, and oak or cedar.
I recommend this fragrance to anyone into exotic woody fragrances, and with deep pockets...it was not cheap

I treated myself to this classic gem of a perfume this Xmas and I love it. I consider "L'Instant de Guerlain" as MY perfume but this one is just as good if not better. It is very luxurious, pungent, glamorous and sexy. Lots of floral notes: jasmine, orange flower; lots of spices and woods; heaps of vanilla and the all-over impression is very wet and juicy, tangey-orangey.
It also lasts a bit longer on my skin than the Guerlain one. I love it for it instantly lifts my moods!!!

Beatiful fragrance, for elegant men!!!
I love first note, it reminds me walk in forest after rain, when sun's shining, and there is fog from evaporative ground. Than the fragrance become more woody and warm, but all the time it's sensual, mysterious and very sexy.
This scent is like symphonic orchiestra, I don't feel single notes, I feel complete combination of many notes which create one compatible fragrance.
If You like classic scents, You have to try Declaration by Cartier!

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXCLUSIVE FRAGRANCE, when i use it i feel clear, proud and like I`am upgradet:) Smells fresh, smoky, reminds me to olibanum in the church and it has the same "clear-making effect" like olibanum. smells expensive and VERY unique, the fragrance is after 20-30 minutes "ready to smell" on the skin, so i guess for many people is this LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT...:) Last so long on skin!!!
For special moments i guess, and its so intense, use only a few shots!!!
Very unique!!

Sophisticated. Could be a unisex scent.

I enjoy fragrances from Cartier. Declaration I wear when in the mood for scent that begins with a citrus notes, some floral undertone and warms up with some woodsy notes. The other two Cartier fragrance I have in my collection are Santos and Pasha.

I love it... so special, so sensual and delicate. It sounds really sexy for me.
Very rare combination - classic perfume with an impressive character! :-) I'd like to feel it on my man...
