Just Cavalli

I don't know many fancy fragrance terms and idioms, but I just have to make this review. I love this fragrance. It was almost a blind buy because I was rushing through the Schiphol airport but wanted to make a stop in the Duty Free to get a perfume. My nose was full of all other scents that when the wonderful SA (her name sounds like Diyana or Diana) insisted on this should be the one I was looking for after I explained to her what I like (and she kind of tried to examine my personality), I took her word as it is, although I didn't like the opening note I smelled on the paper strip. Plus, I'm a bit turned off by the exploitation of animal prints by RC and thought that this fragrance would smell 'too young' from the look of the commercial. I am glad I bought this. I was looking for 'my' fragrance. I like floral but it desperately needs to be not too light and be weighted down by heavier notes. I don't want to smell beyond my year or like a teenager, either. I don't even originally like neroli. But for some reason, they all work out beautifully in this fragrance. The neroli only gives a bit of a fresh opening that lasts for about 30 minutes. Than it melds into the creamy tiare and the smooth palisander wood did not come out until an hour. It was not complex at all, but when it all melds together it smells beautiful, cozy, sweet (but not overly so), delicious and sexy at the same time. The drydown is very skinlike. My friends told me I smell like creme brulee (we just had an amazing grand marnier creme brulee with blood orange sorbet, obviously they sensed the neroli). It turns out to be quite a people pleaser as other samples from Diptyque, MFK, Cartier and Paco Rabanne that I asked them to sniff, they set aside and still loved this one that I was wearing. But they still thought that it's not really a common scent most people (at least from a couple of places I've been living) wear, as do my sisters think. The sillage is quite soft and longevity is moderate. However, when I top this fragrance with 3-4 more spritz after it starts to fade in a couple of hours, the sillage becomes a bit bigger as it wafts around softly when I move and wrap me in it and then it lasts overnight. I would still smell it when I wake up in the morning. I've been trying to look up for a similar type of olfactory with bigger sillage and better longevity. Some people mentioned Poeme and Amarige, I found them too floral and not creamy enough at all. Guerlain L'Instant is as creamy and powdery but a little too 'delicate and meek' for my taste. G Insolence EDP is sweeter and more complex and has a little bit sour-sweet smell from the red cherry. Rochas Byzance has much more powdery body and on me, it's not until a couple of hours that the spices-floral blend starting to ease up the powderiness and smells more complex and finally smells more like JC (I'm thinking about getting this, but still hesitant because the powdery scent smells a bit 'dated' and it lasts a while). The closest I can get until now is Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM Pour Femme. They apparently have the same pyramid with fresh citrusy smell on top (African orange blossom in APOM), creamy floral as the middle note (ylang-ylang in APOM) and wood as base (cedar in APOM). The shift in APOM takes longer than Just Cavalli and the drydown is not as smooth (cedar vs palisander), but the whole feeling is uncannily the same. Plus it's a tiny bit louder. I'm gonna test it some more, see if it's worth dropping double the amount of cash to get similar olfactory and feel. I am expecting an order of samples to see if there's anything else that has the same feel as this lovely fragrance. All in all, I'm so glad I bought this. This is pretty and sensual. But the sensuality is not loud or cheap. It rings to the saying of "Be a lady in the street and a whore in bed". Not a cheap, freak, skanky whore. But a sweet, elegant and dexterous escort.

I don’t understand how this perfume has just florals and woody notes... this perfume is the prettiest and most feminine perfume i own. Granted, it does smell like white florals, but it also smells very powdery, like baby powder. It seems like it has notes of talc and some vanilla too. This perfume is so special to me and if i had to pick only one perfume to wear all my life, i’d definitely pick this. I have smelled hundreds of perfume and this is by far the most beautiful feminine perfume i have ever tried.i will speak on its performance shortly. It smells like femininity. I’m usually a gourmand perfume lover, sweet vanilla , cacao, caramel, honey ,milky scents you know? But this is absolutely beautiful. This is what i’d imagine goddesses would smell like. Soft and feminine, ethereal beauty trapped in a bottle. I’m lost for words here really. This isn’t a childish sweet scent. It is a young woman captivating scent. (I just turned 22) Now let’s get into the performance of this perfume. This is a high performance perfume. It’ll be worth every penny, even if they triple the price i’d still buy it! And it’s relatively cheap but it performs like it’s a 200dollar perfume. Don’t be fooled by its eau de toilet description, this is an eau de parfum as far as i’m concerned. It last longer than my other designer and Arabian eau de parfum scents. I sprayed this on my shirt (keep in mind, i live in a hot tropical climate) i went about my day, got home, hung it up,3 days after whenever i walk past my closet i still smell it!!! Days after, it still has about 3-4 feet of sillage. If that’s not high quality idk what is. I sprayed this perfume on my clothes, Went through 24hours plus of traveling in it, arrived at my destination , folded my shirt and forgot it at the back of my closet, 8 months after, i picked it up for washing and immediately got a whiff of the perfume. So please don’t walk, run and go get this perfume. On your skin, this last 12 hours minimum. Now if you like white florals,slightly woody,powderly vanilla scents, this would be a safe blind buy. You won’t regret it, i promise. I’d rate this perfume a 20/10 because its just that good. <3

I don't know what I smell exactly. I have never taken a whiff of pure jasmine, neroli, OR rosewood. I kinda know jasmine because I've had pure jasmine oils and perfumes that reviews unanimously determined it was ONLY jasmine you smell. Judging from this, I don't really smell jasmine. I DO know, I love this already. I have Nuit Etoilee, barely used, that I have kept for use during this holiday season. It's the scent dreams are made of...or so I thunk. Now that I've purchased this, blind, at TJ Maxx for cheap, my holiday scent may have changed. This is only comparable to JPG Ma Dame, well...of the scents I've known myself. The instant I sprayed this, it was the holidays for me. It's dreamy, magical, feminine, it's some of the best...of any memories I have. I'm not happy about this. Robert Cavalli isn't someone I even care to find out about. I haven't the least interest, no inclination to even TRY another of his scents, well UNTIL.....I sprayed this custard filled long john of a scent. In my world, that's a term for da BEST! It's just about that creamy also. It's puddin' in muh mouth. I think, to say the very least, even if you dislike this, it's pretty unique. Yeah it's sugar coated sweets and blah blah blah, but it's a UNIQUE sugary same ol' same ol'. It's the freshest, dreamiest custard filled long john with a prettier, COULD be tastier frosting/icing that is gonna make you WANT this to be the best. It might not be for you, but it has ended up to be to me. It's not really a good blind buy because it seems to be extraordinary only to those of us that love it. That's to say with any ol' perfume. But I think a LOT of people, and reviews show, think this is quite the pretty picture! It's a holiday picture for me for many years to come I'm sure. It sure can be a summer scent if you wish. For me, it's a Christmas wish! DO at least try if you like sweet, pretty scents at all.

Just Cavalli is a delightful perfume and it makes me think of the tropics and the beach, without being at all coconutty. The tiare flower is of course the star of this fragrance, but the neroli gives some zing at the top and the Palisander sandalwood gives it some longevity. I wouldn't class this fragrance as at all woody though, but a tropical white floral fragrance (which is what I was looking for.) It reminds me of another fragrance I already own called Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche 2019 by Estée Lauder, but this one has even less of those sunscreen vibes from the coconut and bergamot you find in that one. Just Cavalli is even more floral. This perfume has a moderate sillage on me that is just right and not too subtle to smell or so strong that it knocks you out and it is nice and sweet. I got 5 hours wear time from it, so it lasts a decent while but you do need to re-spray it towards the end of the day. It gives me spring and summer vibes and would be appropriate to wear during the day. It is a very easy and breezy fragrance you can just spritz on at any time of the day and it won't offend anyone! I personally really love it and I would give Just Cavalli by Just Cavalli a 9/10! It does exactly what I wanted it to do and made tiare the star of the fragrance, turning me into a summer goddess. Now I just need to find the perfect bikini to match!

I love this scent. This is one of the two scents I always carry in my handbag. The bottle is flattened and the cap is really tight, snapy and the scent itself is wonderful and versatile. Rather evening and winter scent, but moderately sprayed pleasant even during the day, the scent is strong but stays close to the skin, leaving behind a small trail. This also blends well with almost all floral and fruity scents, making it easy to use. I have had this for much longer than Alien. I fell in love with Alien from the first sniff, but it took a long time before I realized why it felt so familiar. My Alien is from 2011, i.e. the older edition. In the opening, these are completely different, Cavalli smells clearly lighter and I can smell both neroli and tiara. Alien slams on with a heady jasmine splash. But as the opening calms down, (Cavalli rather condensing ...) for a while when drying, they are very identical to me. White flowers, jasmine. I can't tell them apart. It takes about 10 minutes for both scent to continue to develop on its own paths. Alien to earthy darkness and Cavalli to lighter, slightly wine-like splashing. In both performances, those flowers remain identical until the end. And... This is almost as long lasting on my skin as an alien, but very much near to skin. Hope this is never stopped or reformulated. Big love to me.

How wrong was I to doubt this fragrance! yes I was shallow, I judged it by it's bottle and marketing and yes you can all scold me for that...I was wrong. This is gorgeous! Summer in a bottle! I ordered a sample because I noticed it had tiare flower (love that note) and decided to give it a shot. And I can't stop smelling myself! I've never been, but I imagine this is how Polynesia smells. Beautiful women wearing leis of beautiful smelling white flowers. My skin drinks every last drop of perfume and previous Cavalli perfumes I've tried and enjoyed have actually stood the test of longevity. This one is no different. I got a good 3-4 hours out of it tonight and for me that's a Dior level of lasting power! I was wrong about this fragrance. It's not overly young and sweet - it's a lovely creamy, rather sophisticated tropical white floral With a "high end body lotion" vibe. Subtle but noticeable and I'd say it's great night scent for those who like to smell clean and natural and a fine day scent for lovers of orientals and strong floral woody scents like myself. Give it a go, Mr Cavalli might surprise you! Definitely another lesson in not judging a book by its cover for me. Update: It's lasted me on average 10 hours. About the longest lasting perfume I've ever owned!

I've never been interested in Roberto Cavalli perfumes, I don't know why. Some time ago, while visiting a perfumery, I thought I have nothing to lose except of the sense of smell and I reached for a bottle of Just Cavalli (by the way, the design of that bottle doesn't appeal to me at all). I decided to be brave, so I sprayed my wrist and my first thought was - I want it! I was schocked, confused, bewitched and impressed at the same time. I knew, that the main role plays a bunch of white flowers, but I thought that there's a plenty of other notes in this composition, because Just Cavalli smells rich and complex, so I was literally surprised, when I checked the structure of notes and realized that it's all about only three notes! I love how the sweet, dense and creamy tiare flower is mixed with rosewood. It smells so rich, mature and classy. I can detect neroli note too - it's bittersweet, bright, very pleasant and vibrant. The lasting power and sillage are impressive, I can smell Just Cavalli for about 8-9 hours and it always leaves a nice, subtle trail. This is one of my favorite fragrances and definitely my favorite white floral perfume. A stunner, highly recommended masterpiece.

I recently wrote a review of Just Cavalli, but had to take it down and try again because I had a revelation. This is my do-over. Just Cavalli is a big fat margarita, complete with salt riim. The tequila, the cointreau/sour mix, the lime wedge, and the salt are all present. You won't smell like you need a breathalyzer though. The margarita doesn't register unless you think about it, but once you do, BAM! Margarita central. Add to the margarita, some powdery dryer sheets and a hint of men's cologne, and you have Just Cavalli. It may not be a very well made perfume, but it's fabulous. PS- I have owned 2016 and 2017 bottles of this and the 2017 version has a much stronger masculine note than the 2016 which was more harmonious to my nose, so you may want to hop on a cosmetic check site with the batch code from your box before purchasing to see what version you have.

On first spray I get a dose of fresh, slightly sharp Neroli, which dissipates quickly, to be replaced by Rosewood & Tiare over the first 20 minutes or so. From there it develops into a creamy, warm wood, with a light floral touch. The Tiare adds some sweetness but not overly so and I wouldn't class it as tropical. After the first half hour, the fragrance remains pretty linear, which is not a bad thing here, as I really enjoy this fragrance. Overspraying could easily ruin the beautiful aura created in this minimalistic notes combination. When deciding where to place it in my collection, I chose to place it alongside Sensuous Nude, Cahmere Mist, Adam Lavine, Peau Santal, Cashmere and Powdered Veil. Projection and longevity are average. The price tag makes it a steel! A comforting hug of fragrance, that IMO can be classed as unisex.

This is a nostalgic perfume for me personally. I wore it in 2013. My mam bought it for me and I wore it everywhere that year. Most importantly I took it abroad which would turn out to be the last holiday I had with my mother before she passed away. I remember getting alot of compliments from the people in the group we were on the holiday with and I would spray it at night before going for a meal and I would still smell it on me at the beach the next day. So I finished my bottle and tried other fragrances, pretty much forgetting about it. Then this year I came across it in TKMaxx for a great price and picked it up again. As soon as I tried it on it brought back so many beautiful memories for me. My mother passed 4 years ago and its amazing how certain smells can bring back so much comfort. This is one of them for me.

3 simple notes that smell SO beautiful together! It's freezing here in Canada so the neroli is pretty sharp and comes across as some type of room spray. I don't get much of the rosewood (I don't even know what that smells like) with some creamy (never used that term for a fragrance) tiare flower in the drydown. This is so light, not at all sweet or soapy! It's definitely work friendly and a great pick for someone who loves white florals!! I'm looking forward to summer just so I can go ham and dose myself in this!! It's so soft and comforting but no one will smell it unless they give you a hug. My boyfriend was saying "ohmygod you smell so nice, ahh you smell so good!" each time he hugged me. I asked what does it smell like to you? He answered "I don't know but it's the perfect scent for hugging".

I have this beauty, she is a tiare wonder, so joyful and summery. Today I bought Yardley Floralscapes woodland, which smells SO much like Just I couldn't believe it! If you love a bright summery floral, grab this. I don't know how these notes translate to the above, but to me they are flankers/sisters. Blurb taken from Yardley site... 'Floralscapes Woodland Eau de Parfum is reminiscent of a walk through a bluebell-carpeted woodland, with top notes of pink pepper and mandarin, flowing into a sparkling heart of tuberose, carnation and bluebell, intensified with a base of heliotrope, white woods, oakmoss and tonka. Made with 90% naturally-derived ingredients, this Eau de Parfum is suitable for vegans, is cruelty-free, and comes packed in an FSC-certified carton.'

Extremely fine feminine perfume. There is nothing sharper in it – the soft and rounded scent of white flowers. As if I'm dressed in a soft white cotton shirt, which is elegant but also somewhat lazy, there is no rigor. Despite the vial that gives expectation of aggressive, super sexuality, the liquid in the beautiful bottle is quite sophisticated and creamy. Stays on me for 5-6 hours and I especially like that the notes are a little and very well combined. The beginning is sweet, unrolling the senses neroli. There is a very nice and soft tiarе that stands out and lasts for the longest. The base is special - close to the skin and really smells of sweet wood (rosewood). For me, this perfume is a real discovery and I will carry it with pleasure.

I don’t find this similar to Alien or Poeme. I can’t speak much to the others people have mentioned. However, I do think this has the DNA of Roberto Cavalli EDP. I feel like Just is the lighter, summer version of RC EDP. If you like one, then you probably like the other. As for Just, I think it’s a little more complicated than the notes here suggest. It warms up beautifully on my skin. My family loves it and smile when they smell me coming. I can understand the smiles. It is a happy fragrance, but not particularly youthful unless that young person enjoys florals. On me, it’s a clean, confident, comforting, pleasant fragrance. It works well in high heat and humidity. Just let your sprays settle a bit before running out of the door.

I'll start by saying that I bought Just Cavalli mainly because I am so in love with Just Cavalli Just Gold. Just Cavalli is beautiful too, I love the tiare flower. Somehow the fragrance makes me think of Turkish delight. It starts a bit sharp and this put me off the first few times I tested it. But if you leave it to dry down, the harsh neoroli softens and moves into the background. The tiare flower moves to centre stage, supported by palisander wood, and it becomes a beautiful creamy scent with a very soft incense in the background. Just wonderful. The flacon is stunning. Very well done Roberto Cavalli! Edit 21.04.2017: I think I may love this more than Just Gold at the moment... I caved in and bought a backup bottle yesterday!!

It's an elegant perfume. it's not your typical summer tiarè perfume. this is not beachy nor sun tan lotiony. it's a perfumey tiarè with that sparkling neroli that gives a minty sort of tone to the floral facet. The neroli shines more than the tiarè imo but the tiarè is still recognizable and it helps to make the fragrance creamier. It's soft yet very present. The woodsy notes give to the perfume a nice twist and sofistication. It has something reminescent to the alien DNA ( think due to neroli) but this fragrance is much more wearable, pretty and louminous compared to alien, in my opionion at list, since I don't love the Alien DNA. Suitable for spring and fall Imo. i purchased a 30 ml for 15€ so it's a bargain

This is review two for me. I just can't get enough of this perfume! I normally mix things up with scent...a lot. But I have been wearing this at least every other day for months now & just bought a larger sized bottle on sale (bottle no.2) because I don't want to run out of it. I mix it often with Auric Blends "LOVE" perfume oil which boosts the cozy factor like crazy, or even with a spritz of Vanilla anything. It is decadent, soft, long lasting, and smells so "cozy". I get compliments on this scent EVERY time I wear this in public, which is also a rarity for me. If you are on the fence, DO NOT try it...it will leave more for the rest of us who never want the world to run out of JUST! :) Cheers!

(leaving new review since my edits didnt work) the neroli opening is powdery, not a really fresh neroli that can lean more like bug spray . i get more tiare+neroli, the rosewood is an accent until later wear . no fruity accord as listed here . its one of the few easily accessible tiarè forward perfumes in modern day and it gets compliments, doesnt smell dated . i like wearing this one for any occasion, its pretty polite and hard to offend since its more dialed back than other tropicals . i personally pick up a slightly metallic touch, this neroli reminds me of BV Knot but this is sweeter . but this is more in the family of casablanca lily ~ byredo and tiarè & cashmere ~ donna karan .

Tested this for the first time today. I love it, it is beautiful and sexy- it is citrus musky woody to me. It smells incredibly sexual and sensual- I would definitely wear this scent to 'get it on'. I mostly detect musk and woods with sharp citrus notes. I love it. I will definitely purchase this when i see it go cheap. I love the smell- it is unique and I just find it sexy sexy sexy. One of my new found favourites- all I can say is wow! This perfume blew me away! To me this perfume is just dynamite- it is fire! It smells so warm and heated- just too sexy! Scent-8.5/10 Projection-6.5/10 Lasting power-6.5/10 Bottle-6.5/10

I'm a middle aged, chubby, very arty, plain jane type with a love of scent. Its my luxury. My perfume collection is close to 100 bottles carefully stored in a cool dark cupboard. I have just bought my Just Cavalli eau de parfum and its fabulous. It couldnt really go wrong for me containing my favourite scented flowers - neroli and tiare. I admit I was a bit worried it would be too powerful. I dont need another trigger for my terrible migraines. Apparently I am very sensitive to scent and medications. It really is delish. The dry down is as lovely as the first spritz. Warm, woody and very modern. For me, perfection.
