What do reviewers say about Declaration and Vetiver?
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
Vetiver is one of perfumery's most misunderstood notes. Too often it plays a supporting role, the earthiness that grounds a floral or a tobacco blend. Vetiver puts the material front and center.Vetiver
