Rue Rance Eau Duc De Berry

Okay so in the opening I actually get quite a lot of sweet, cassis and citrus with a nice, green sort of accord, very fresh and uplifting, I thought it was very striking. Then it dries out in a massive way, with a huge dose of spices but still showing restraint and the Declaration comparisons here start to make a lot of sense, and while the spicing is similar, I'd say a mixture of corriander, caraway/cumin and cardamom, declaration is much pricklier, sweatier and frankly bolder than this fragrance. The drydown of Rance goes to papery iso e super and ionone rather than declaration which seems to hold it's original vibes, much more completely. A little slug of coumarin or something in here gives this a fougere feel for a moment. I liked it initially but it fell a bit flat and not to moan, but it's not very strong or long lasting and ultimately a bit forgettable.

Smells very generic citrusy little spicy but nothing significant to be honest. I think you can get this same fragrance for a fraction of this price with pretty much any high street brand. I'm not getting as much wood as I had hoped for. No pun intended. I have a sample if anyone's interested along with another 100+ niche samples for swap within Europe - updated spreadsheet of samples on my profile, get in touch!
