Declaration Cologne

This is the quintessential summer EDT, taking all of the positive qualities from the original Declaration, and adding ginger (one of my all-time favorite perfume notes) to the top notes, creating a wonderful, light, fresh and spicy masterpiece. The cardamom is heavily edited, but still has that Declaration DNA therein, making it a delightful and affordable scent for spring and summer. Heck, you could even wear it in the fall and winter, although I don't think it is heavy enough to be able to pull off in the dead of winter. And, even though it's labeled as a cologne (making me assume it's EDC strength), it's actually an EDT. Longevity is slightly less than average, but pricing makes it possible to apply throughout the day when it begins to fade to a skin scent: carrying a small decant is entirely possible. Very, very nice and I too pray they don't discontinue this as they did Bois Bleu.

Awesome Fragrance... one of the best aroma! Very fresh, relax and energizing! I feel a lot the Lemongrass smell... great combination of ginger, citrus and spices. Unfortunately It has a very poor longevity (only 4 hours). The sillage is ok- moderade. Fragrância/Fragrance: 10/10 Fixação/ Longevity: 4/10 Projeção/ Sillage: 6/10 Versatilidade/ Versatillity: 10/10 Fragrância incrível... um dos melhores aromas que existe! Muito fresco, relaxante e energizante! Eu sinto bastante o cheiro de Capim-limão.. uma grandiosa combinação do gengibre, cítricos e especiarias. Infelizmente, Cologne tem uma péssima fixação (apenas 4 horas). A projeção é ok- moderada.

Excellent summer choice. starts with a sour and almost bitter citrus notes, with the original declaration in the background but without the cumin note here. The is a smooth ginger note in the scent which blends in with the bergamot and bitter orange to give it a slight smoothness to the scent. This scent has decent silage and lasts around 6 hours on skin you may get an hour less or more. For me a solid spring/summer choice if you want to be different from the usual aquatics. Scent 8.5/10

My most recent flanker from this line, and wearing today for the first time, and I agree with some reviewers here that this is a more easy going frag for the warmer months when you want still to enjoy The Declaration core notes but at a cologne level classification; I will need to try it in a hot summer day to find out its performance on my skin in such condition. So far I liked it in Spring, but it fades kinda quickly.

If the original Declaration was a man in a pinstripe suit, this Cologne would be a man in an ivory cashmere or wool turtleneck. The ginger and bergamot in the opening are just intoxicating, refreshing, energizing. I wish they stayed much longer before revealing the original Declaration DNA. The projection is discreet, longevity is decent. Elegant, relaxing, easy to wear. Love it! -AB-
