Déclaration Bois Bleu

I like the direction the Declaration flankers are taking, giving them an identity of their own, rather than just adding a citrus top note or similar, and putting it out as an entirely new fragrance. This one is nice, really nice, and is definitely for summer usage, when the original Declaration may be a bit too cloying. The most pronounced difference is the absence of the cardamom note and the addition of several varied light woodsy notes. The color of the juice and the bottle itself reflect Bleu's concentration and longevity, but I get a decent amount of time from something I would consider more of an EDC than an EDT. This and Declaration Cologne are my favorites thus far because they smell rather unique, but still maintain that Declaration DNA that makes the original so charming. I'm not really surprised it was discontinued: it's a little too light to compete with other aquatic/summer fragrances on the modern market. There are other light, summery fragrances I reach for each and every time over BB. And now the going rate for a bottle is just too steep. I think when I run out of the bottle I currently have, this will be filed and stored in my olfactory memory.

Il mio profumo preferito in assoluto! Sembra una fresca granita di limone e trasmette pulizia olfattiva, senza mai essere artificiale INEGUAGLIABILE!Limone, bergamotto e noce moscata sono le 3 note più presenti perfettamente bilanciate. Se solo fosse avesse una longevità ed un sillage maggiore personalmente sarebbe la fragranza più buona di sempre. 9,9/10.

I love this bois bleu. As Vertigo said, the top notes are very citric, later comes wood, not aquatic I agree, but the initial citric stays until the end. And finally we have a good and confortable fragrance, perfect for the everyday use. 2013 After a while, I think it's not relevant anymore, but still's a good fragrance.

This is by far one of Cartiers BEST! Sensual and oriental spices make up this superb redelence..Longetivty just last on this one ABSOLUTE staying power!.By far one of my best oriental and sophisticated fragrances!..

Very nice scent. But very poor sillage and longevity.
