Pros & Cons
- ✅ Wonderful parfum!! Bitter orange opening is so interesting- dirty, yet sophisticated.
- ✅ This is at the edge of the designer fragrances... could be easily a hit in the niche space.
- ✅ My second most complimented scent, ever.
- ✅ Beautiful spicy scent, but sadly a bit too much for me. Highly preferred the EDT formulation where the orange was more prominent.
- ❌ the cumin note was a little too strong
- ❌ the only downside is the cap/sprayer, which broke quite early
- ❌ I wished it lasted a bit longer.
- ❌ to me, the only “bad” thing about this fragrance is that the cumin note was a little too strong.
- ❌ For me, it really does come across as like hot body odor. It pretty much stays for the duration of the longevity too.
- ❌ This smells like the original Declaration with good performance, but the downside is that this is too powdery.
