Declaration by Cartier for Men 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

I was worried, but it’s real!
Judging by the low cost, and the fact that I have received counterfeit colognes (even when they’re shipped AND sold by Amazon), I was worried this cologne may not be authentic.I was very happy to find that it is indeed the real deal! I even sprayed this bottle onto one arm, and the previous bottle received from Macy’s on the other. Indistinguishable.My mother says she gets citrus tones, where the spice elements really consume my full attention. It is one of my favorites, and a clear winner. The scent is midrange in terms of longevity. It lasts for many hours, but most certainly not all day. Many colognes I’ve tested have barely lasted 30 minutes, so I am very pleased with this one.

Similar to TDH, but difference enough to be worth it
The same nose as TDH being behind this scent is what made me blind buy it in the first place. Some of the notes are the same but the presentation is very different. It’s still got a burnt citrus that smells very fresh and attractive but there’s cilantro and cardamom that add a bit of spice and muskyness to it. Sometimes it smells like body odor but not in a bad way if that makes sense. Not for everyone but if you like terre d’hermes you’ll like this, I guarantee it

Fanatastique — shares some similar notes with Encre Noire by Lilac
Scent is fanatastique. Love…My initial take is it does not last long, 3 hours give or take, after 4 sprays.FYI–NO DOUBT for me, the real deal, got the good stuff from / ORDERED from… Amazon.com LLC.Seem to recall that being an issue with several reviewers of many frags,and as one noted on comments, ‘so please do tell us who you ordered the bad stuff from’,that would be so essential to include in the ‘not the real deal’ reviews.—Actually discovered shares some similarity to Encre Noire by Lilac,surprisingly, this one being more complex and bright, almost with a hint of berries when I am comparing the two side by side.

Genuine!
Like many here I was hesitant about buying this cologne cause it’s almost half the price of buying it any other place. Fear not though! It’s as advertised. I believe it is the genuine thing. It lasts long when sprayed on unlike the fake ones. I’d say go for it.Only grip was that the package it came in- not the shipping box- was not sealed. Anyone could’ve taken it out and sprayed a little on. But it did look untouched and full so no biggie.

Nice and permanent smell

A lovely scent! My husband‘s favourite and I buy it as a gift for special occasions. Happy with the packaging and quality.
