Just Cavalli Gold for Him

I am new to this community as well as I am to perfumes, besides, English is not my first language, yet I will try express my thoughts as broad as possible. So, first things first: Boy, this is such a mesmerising perfume. The piquant, radiant cardamom in the opening is to die for, people who love the scent of it (like me, heh) will instantly fall in love. if only it lasted longer, but after 20-30 minutes it transforms into a realistic coffee note which was lingering behind. I guess it's the characteristic of it. Furthermore, I agree with the "this reminds me of" section, my «love at first» sniff-"Intoxicated" by Kilian might be quite similar with those two main notes, especially the former, however, I think Just Gold for Him is a ristretto/espresso infused type of coffee fragrance while Intoxicated is vanilla/cinnamon coffee. Both are fascinating. I don't sense any leather(which is a signature feature of Roberto Cavalli) and it's not that important. I really didn't wait long enough to evaluate the longevity and sillage and etc. I just ran here to write down my view. Having tested and worn many fragrances, I've come to a point where I now think that, in the form of a fragrance, perfume- as an olfactory experience, is actually meant to take us on a vibrant, spirited journey, and make us feel something ethereal/otherworldly, if not simply extraordinary. Although this is rather relative, changes from person to person and/or fragrance to fragrance, but it's still legit. If it does it and there is a craftsmanship behind, it truly doesn't matter whether it stays four or ten hours. When you get on a roller coaster, you pay money for the experience/amusement, not the duration. Hence, perfume is supposed to evaporate, not stick.

A wonderful fresh coffee scent laced with spicy cardamom! Every now and then, a marvellous fragrance appears a bit out left of field and Cavalli Just for Him Gold EDP is an example. But we shouldn't be surprised when the nose behind this fragrance is Domitille Bertier. She also created both Midnight in Paris EDT & EDP and Versace Man and many more. Domitille's style is evident in Cavalli JFHG, with the fresh top and warm spicy undertones. The "fresh" here is in reference to the time of the day rather than the note (i.e not citrus or aquatic). The top is similar to a freshly roasted coffee early in spring or autumnal day. The airy spicy undertone with some smokiness here is reminiscent of the nose's other creation. Not a complicated fragrance or exceptionally unique but well done and crafted with good performance. Earlier today I wore Histoires de Parfums Tubereuse 3 Animale and Cavalli JFHG in the evening created a beautiful blend. Unfortunately, I believe that it is now discontinued or becoming hard to find but a 50ml bottle will go along way. An excellent and standout fragrance for the office during spring and autumn. Cavalli JFHG does have a Christmassy feel about it hence it's my scent for the evening whilst staying at home during the festive period. I am a 52-year-old male but the fragrance is suitable for 25+ and unisex IMO. A solid 7.5/10, Happy Holidays to everyone!

Ever though that coffee was a genderless scent? Try this then. It is so undoubtely masculine and unique. If you did not know that coffee was a note, it's hard to say what this smells like except: 'this is how a man should smell'. Once you realize that coffee is a note, you smell it subtly every time. Gold for Him has so much depth and is so revitalising every time I smell it. Perfect for a long day or long nights. This is probably one of the only fragrances that can cure sleep deficiency.

this really evokes Coffee memories for me. I love the smell of coffee more than the taste, I wonder if it's cause it cleanses the nose palate... but I just read that's just psychological, apparently de Perfumers smell their own skin to do that. I'd like that it had the bitterness of the coffee, but then why I just don't open a jar of it? :)

Tried this one today, and this is one dark coffe smelling fragrance, it starts very strong and even after 4 hours i can still smell it, not as much as when first applied but this is one good strong dark autumn smell, and did i mention i liked it but then again it's not any revolution, better has been made before.
