Cartier Déclaration Haute Fraîcheur Eau de Toilette 100ml is a unisex woody-spicy fragrance launched in 2021 as a fresher reinterpretation of Cartier's classic Déclaration. Composed by the house's in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent, the composition is built around a minimalist trio of notes — a sparkling citrus leaf opening, a peppery cardamom heart and a dry, refined cedarwood base — reflecting Cartier's design ethos of precision and restraint.
About Cartier Déclaration
Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris by Louis-François Cartier as a jewellery house, later expanding into perfumery in the 1980s with Must de Cartier. The original Déclaration launched in 1998 by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena and quickly became a cult masculine. Déclaration Haute Fraîcheur takes that DNA and lifts it into a brighter, more transparent direction — same precision, lighter weight — making it especially well-suited to warmer weather and daytime wear.

Who it's for
Déclaration Haute Fraîcheur suits anyone drawn to refined, minimalist niche-style fragrances with a confident cedarwood backbone — the same audience that already enjoys the original Déclaration, Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche or Le Labo Rose 31. Genuinely unisex, it works beautifully as a warm-weather daytime signature and equally well for office hours, daytime weddings and travel. The 100ml format is built for fans who already know this is the bottle they want as a long-term signature.
How to use
- Spray two to three times onto pulse points — the inside of the wrists, the base of the neck, behind the ears or the chest.
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin for an even mist.
- For a longer-lasting trail, mist once across a shirt collar or scarf.
- Don't rub the wrists together after spraying — it bruises the top notes and shortens longevity.
