Declaration Essence (for men)

gerco

Declaration essence, do you have the guts to wear it ?

The opening of Essence is similar to the opening in Déclaration, but fresher, clearer, less smoky, more attainable.

It has an elegant orange opening that doesn’t have the sharpness of many citrus accords: a bitter orange note that gets a special refinement from the cardamom and the woods and moss.

The middle notes are basically a discreet wood / moss accord supported by cardamom and orange. Hmmmmmmm, luv'it !

And the base is a nice vetiver and rosewood and orange. The prominence of the bitter orange note throughout makes the scent somewhat linear, but there is real movement behind the orange note.

There are not very many differences between Déclaration and Déclaration Essence, but those marginal differences make up a huge difference in my judgment:

—Déclaration is not very interesting except that is flirts a bit with repulsiveness, while Déclaration Essence is a real true winner.

Very good longevity, wonderful, an elegant fragrance from a wellknown french powerhouse. If you are a fan of Santos, you will like this one to!
Sillage is great, you'll fill the room up.

So, get it on your shortlist,soon !

9/10

Outstandingly good - absolute class, buy if you like woody floral musk:

there's nothing better than this !

If, yes if you have the guts (and balls)as a man to wear a floral musky scent as this.......
