Déclaration Cartier, notes between elegance and dynamism
Déclaration opens with a combination of fresh, sparkling notes composed of mandarin, neroli, mugwort and coriander, which reveals the character of the Cartier man. Mugwort is a perennial herbaceous plant about 1 meter tall, growing in temperate climates such as Central Europe, North Africa and Asia. The Egyptians used it to combat menstrual problems and fever. It was later used to treat the liver, yellow fever, the kidneys, and more. There are currently no fewer than 180 varieties of mugwort.
In perfumery, mugwort essence is obtained by steam distillation of several varieties of mugwort. Mugwort offers both green and herbaceous tonalities. Then, the heart of Déclaration is a harmony blending flowers and spices, with the presence of iris, jasmine, pepper and cardamom. Cardamom is a herbaceous plant of Indian origin still used today for its many medicinal properties. While the Romans used it as a fragrance, the Egyptians used it as a toothpaste.
Cardamom fruits look like green or yellow pods and bear the same name as the plant. Cardamom essence is obtained by steam distillation of the dried seeds. Cardamom releases aromatic, zesty, camphoraceous and even resinous tonalities. Then, the base of Déclaration Cartier is meant to be ultra sensual and masculine, combining vetiver, cedarwood, leather and amber. In slender glass, the bottle is understated. Its front panel offers great originality, as it is cut into the shape of a heart. Between love and poetry, Déclaration is a fragrance that releases a great many emotions.
