Just Cavalli Blue

I love Cavalli's clothing and the women's scents are very nice. I have Oro and The original RC "for women". This is my first men's Cavalli scent, and it is so very much nicer than I had hoped...Thanks Natt!! Notes from Cavalli website: Top: bergamot, mint flowers, lychee, mandarin Heart: iced water, artemisia, hyacinth & pepper Base: grey amber, musk, balsa wood This begins with a wonderfully fragant citrus along with a minty coolness, that is not overly green. There is a 'lite' floral feel, but I imagine mint flowers do not last long or smell strongly. The lychee gives it a sweet freshness I just adore. There is an icy frosty feel in this, but it is not the typical "ice" scent. It is more like an ozoney, cool fresh water air. Along with a smooth green artemisia and a subtle pepperiness, the hyacinth blooms and feels so springlike. The hyacinth note smells very true to me here. In the drydown, I get a soft, subtle almost marine amberiness and some light clear wood; but the musk is sweet and pure, like fresh clean skin. I passed on this when I was gonna buy it online, (before testing it) because I had Versace Pour Homme (Signature) 2008 already. Now, I wish I had bought it! They are definitely similar, but both are worth having... Sillage: decent Longevity: okay, for a citrus Overall: 4.25/5 Citrus, flowers, cool freshness, subtle spice and clean musk...this is very good for spring or summer. This is very fresh and playful, while VPH is more elegant and cooly refined, and woodier. This is more like a cooling dip in fresh water for fun, where the VPH is more like a Mediterranean holiday escape. Great for flip-flops and cutoff shorts and a very soft, broken in t-shirt. This will definitely make you feel fresh and cool, in the hot humid days of summer, or remind you of spring and warm flowery breezes when it is cool or cold outside. Lovin' this juice...

Very surprising find. It has an unusual combination of peppery (or smokey?) liquorice root and a refreshing sweet-citrus. I personally don't detect Lychee in this though and because of the liquorice imagine this perhaps being a bit like Lolita Lempicka - Eau Masculin although I've not tried the latter yet so am prepared to be wrong on that assumption. Just Cavalli Blue was a bit of a punch in the nose the first time I smelt it as it so different to my usual EDT's but I adjusted really quickly. This is actually really great as a summer/casual juice but guess you could just about get away with it in autumn due to the peppery-liquorice effect. Yes, the projection could be better but the composition is solid and with 4 sprays (1 on your shirt) it lasts a good 7 hours. I'm still getting delicious wafts of sweet-smokey-liquorice-citrus at 3.30pm having applied it at 8am this morning. Really like this - definitely a keeper in the "Something Nice But Different" category. Update: You know what, having worn this on a couple of warmer days now I think I have seen Just Cavalli Blue in it's true form. The composition opens up and the smokey-liquorice expands into a cool and refreshing breeze of mint, citrus fruits and an aromatic accord that you initially can't quite put your finger on but I guess this must be the Lychee. Very nice, bitter-sweet-aromatic........I hope they don't discontinue it any time soon.

Being a designer frag "HER" is discontinued and the price is ridiculous and outrageously high for 60ml bottle...$250USD. As far as R.C Blue goes, it's also been disco but this juice wasn't given the attention it should have especially with the mainstream stuff that's come out in the past few years. This juice opens with a very clean bright vib from lime and green notes from artemisia. There's a slight tangy/spicy blend from orange and pepper notes. Ambergris and Litchi helps to keep the sweet notes from fading. I barley notice any wood notes. Mint is definitely unnoticeable with my nose meter. A lot claim they do as well this liquorice vib..huh? I have 2 bottles of this juice and I don't know why I can't smell any mint neither? Longevity and Sillage is moderate at best as very affordable priced cologne in today's market! This juice is perfect as a summer frag that's non-offensive. This juice is one of those cologne that if you're in a rush to go out during the day and you don't have to time to think which cologne to wear...this is it. 7/10

This is one of my favorites. Too bad its on its way out of the market here in sweden. I have used it when I,m at the office, after workout and while going out durin summertime. This is as many guys already have noticed a real "girl magnet". Love the entrece of fresh lemons and after a while a more spicy touch that remindes me of the sea. Less important but stil a nice thing is the flashy bottle.

Peppery citrus water with a touch of earthy green artemisia and soft woods. Goes on like a medicinal, spicy pain reliever to the senses and epidermis, very powerful blast of pepper that quickly calms and becomes a soft, soothing spicy, green and citrus aquatic dirtied up a little with the artemisia and synthetic mint. Lasts about 2-4 hours max on moderately dry skin and around the 2-3 hour mark is very hard to pick up the musky woods drydown without burying your nose in your skin. Can be found on the cheap and has a unique fresh spicy, green citrus flair but performance makes this one a delicacy for the curious rather than anything essential. Still, it's unique and worth owning for under $15 and can sometimes still be found on the cheap in Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Spain.
