Déclaration Parfum, signed by Mathilde Laurent in 2018, extends the eau de toilette Jean-Claude Ellena created for Cartier twenty years earlier. The house makes it an intense, enveloping woody amber that combines the depth of cedar, the opulence of amber notes and the sensuality of vanilla. Its bottle, with shoulders shaped into a heart, is now refillable.
For Richard Goller of Fragroom, Déclaration Parfum is a successful tribute to the original, darker and denser, that stands on its own merits.
What critics say
Darker than the original
Richard Goller, who devoted a Fragroom review to the fragrance on April 28, 2018, sees it as confirmation that the 1998 eau de toilette is a modern classic. He finds the original more sparkling, while the Parfum ventures into darker, denser territory.
A tribute in its own right
The reviewer describes a deep, smoky fragrance carried by leather and spices. He judges it worthy of the original while recognizing its own merits.
