Additional Information
General Notice: While we strive to keep our imagery up to date, certain brands periodically refresh their presentation. Consequently, the packaging you receive for some of our perfumes may differ slightly from what is pictured.
Déclaration invented the notion of using fresh spices in perfumery. A striking trailing scent that brings together cardamom and cedarwood. Déclaration is the olfactory herald of those who dare to declare their feelings.
Mood: Everyday Luxury / Statement Makers. Launched in 1998 and created by the legendary Jean-Claude Ellena, Déclaration is an "olfactory landmark." It balances the "raw power of nature" with the "refined elegance of a gentleman." Its clean, spicy, and transparent structure makes it a masterpiece of poise—perfect for the man who wants a signature that feels sophisticated, intellectual, and effortlessly expensive.
Occasion: Office / Business / Daily Wear. This is the ultimate "professional" scent. Its "bold, unprecedented spicy-woody freshness" is crisp and communicative, making it ideal for the boardroom or daily wear. It signals confidence and a "free-loving spirit" while remaining perfectly polished and respectful of shared spaces.
Strength & Projection: Moderate Projection. True to Ellena’s "watercolour" style of perfumery, Déclaration is designed to be an "emotional scent" that gets the heart beating without overwhelming the room. It creates a refined, aromatic halo that is noticeable and "uniquely peerless" within a personal radius.

The Connoisseur’s Comparison:"For those who admire the mineral, earthy dialogue of Terre d’Hermès or the icy, metallic architecture of Gentle Fluidity Silver, Déclaration offers a more "botanical and cumin-spiced" interpretation. While Terre d’Hermès (also by Ellena) is "flinty and citrus-led" and Silver is "juniper-clean," Déclaration uses Cardamom and Cumin to create a unique "warm-skin" effect against a backdrop of Bitter Orange. It takes the Cedarwood foundation and strips away the heavy forest weight, resulting in a fragrance that feels airier, more "transparent," and arguably more "human" than its more mineral successors."
