Calvin Klein Obsession EDT Men is a classy, mildly sweet, myrrh, amber, spicy cinnamon, woody, and musky fragrance. On one side the "hardness" of the unapproachable sharpness, and on the other the proximity of the soft dark red rose that I have in mind. This reminds me yet again how incredibly versatile gifted perfumers are at evoking freshness without always having to resort just to citrus notes: I never would have looked at the note pyramid on this and assumed it would be as light and clean as it is.

At Déclaration d'un Soir, the opening is very strongly floral-spicy, the fragrance tells the wearer exactly where to go. I have read all reviews about this fragrance, and the one word my eyes look for is Rose, and I see plenty of it. Now, before you cumin-haters start wailing, let me say that Déclaration d’un Soir’s cumin is dry and delicate; I barely notice the cumin in this fragrance.At the beginning of the 90s she met Jean-Paul Guerlain at a school party and asked him for an internship. It has been discontinued for a long time, but I don't regret it, it's a very classy perfume, but it doesn't have a solid base. I wish the aromatics exerted their influence longer into the mid to at least help keep that rose in check, but interestingly the pepper-caraway reassert their tangy influence further into the drydown as the rose fades more into the background. Browsing has stopped and you are browsing a different version of the menu as you have changed resolution from desktop to mobile or from mobile to desktop. Then when Joy Amin, who doesn't like Declaration OG either, did a YouTube review praising D'un Soir, I decided to get a decant to try.

In fact, due to its overbearing cumin accord, not only is it not a "masterpiece" (lol), but imo it's poor perfumery. Well, I got another rose for her (note: I had no idea which notes this fragrance had, I didn't check it before or something! This scent is if Moschino’s Toy Boy accidentally knocked someone up and decided to raise the kid and become a loving father.The perfumer of "Déclaration d'un Soir" - Mathilde Laurent (*1976) - studied biology and chemistry at ISIPCA ("Institut Supérieur du Parfum des Cosmétiques et des Aromes" in Versailles), where Francis Kurkdjian and some of the protagonists of "A Dozen Roses for Men" also studied. So one evening after work took a shower and decided to look under my cabinet to look at what choices I had to just apply something different from what I’ve been using. That beautiful rose is accompanied by lots of pepper and some tones of sandalwood - I even detect bits of citrus notes as well.

To use DHI as a floral fragrance comparison again, the iris in that is strong, but the woods, the lavender, and the cacao accord are all strong too. Anyway I hear a lot of ppl say declaration d’un Soir is just simple rose nutmeg and that if you don’t love rose, u won’t like this one. However, just because it’s not dense doesn’t mean it’s not strong; it projects well and requires only a couple of spritzes to do the job. I flew in October 2013 and I rented a small 1-room holiday flat directly at the Mediterranean Sea for 1 month. Well that is a long shot from the truth I personally don’t like wearing rose centric fragrances, I don’t hate it I just don’t get much pleasure out of em.Declaration D'Un Soir is a fresh, spicy, woody cocktail that can only be described as a love potion, built from the energy of pepper, the elegance of sandalwood, and a touch of romantic rose. If the data is transferred to the US, there is a risk that your data can be processed by US authorities, for control and surveillance measures, possibly without legal remedies. Drydown (subjective): Nice dialed down woody base, although I disagree with many reviewers below in that I still get a beautiful lingering rose. Just as in other art forms, it is in the proximity to debacle, rather than treading the safe path, that the genius lies.
