What do reviewers say about Declaration and Aventus?
The cardamom opening is the whole proposition. A warm, resinous spice that could tip into curry on the wrong skin, but here, Ellena's restraint makes it the point.Declaration
Batch variations became part of the appeal. Tracking down the right one, then knowing exactly what you're wearing, that's the Aventus experience. Not just a fragrance.Aventus
