Roberto Cavalli Deep Desire

First off, I'd like to say that I am not big on gourmand fragrances and I generally dislike anything cherry flavoured because almost every cough syrup has a vile cherry flavour! That being said, my mind was blown after spraying my tester bottle on today. In fact so much so I have just purchased the one and only bottle I could get my hands on in New Zealand. This definitely gives a deliciously rich, syrupy vibe to me like a yummy lipgloss. If it was a lipgloss, you would want to constantly lick your lips...and everyone else would wanna lick your lips too LOL. Wearing this fragrance, I think anyone who smells it would want to eat you. Read into that last part any which way you wish! I've been wearing it now for 8 hours and the projection and sillage are still very present. Last words: If Deep Desire was a song, it would be Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj. "You need a bad girl to blow your mind" and trust me he will be "Bang - Bangin" all over you! Sex in a bottle!

Deep Desire is a quality fragrance with what is for me, insane longevity. I applied last night 4pm. It’s now 9am, and I’m wafting. This is definitely in the Rouge Smoking, L’interdit Rouge family (Dr Pepper cola, anyone?) but better then both. Yes, there is- for sure- a cherry vibe. Every time I wear it I try to nail down where it’s coming from. In the end I shrug, and tell myself it doesn’t matter, it’s gorgeous. The cocoa and vanilla are both present. Patchouli, not so much. Some here have described this as a boudoir scent, or date night perfume. Accurate, I’d say. A word of caution though. I did wear this for a night of partying once, and the strength of Deep Desire coupled with waking up with a blinding hangover was, how shall I say... a lot. Enough to make me take a break for a few months. From drinking, and this scent. Surrounded by my cherry-jasmine-chocolate-vanilla cloud this morning, I’m glad I stuck to hot cocoa last night.

This perfume smells amazing! I'm not sure why it's not mentioned in the notes pyramid, but I notice a nice fruity note, kind of like banana cake, mango and a bit of sour cherry/berries. The fruity note makes it smell very juicy and summery. It's kind of candy-like in a way as well. I can smell the chocolate in this too (when I realise that it's in the notes). The chocolate in this is nice and sweet btw, and not like cocoa powder such as in prada candy night (which is also nice too btw, but just lacking in performance). In the dry down, after several hours of wear, the vanilla note becomes very noticeable. Very feminine, sexy and yummy smelling perfume. Definitely worth a try if you like gourmand, sweet yet refreshing perfumes, as it's something different from the mainstream gourmand type of perfumes. The only thing that could've been a bit better is the performance, but it's not bad at all either.

Intoxicating and addictive!!! I blind bought it and arrived today along with 3 other perfumes that I will probably review also. First spray I was hooked, it smells like sweet red vanilla, also imagine a red jasmine if it would exist lol perfectly blended together. I love it when fragrances smell strong when you first spray them, I am not the type of person that likes light perfumes that you can barely smell them and have to keep rubbing your nose on your wrist to be able to smell it. Perfumes need to be strong and long lasting and if you want to smell light than just spray one time. I don't like to pay a lot of money for perfumes that lasts like a body spray or smells light. I sprayed it about an hour ago and I can still smell it at a perfect level. Too bad I don't have a husband to smell me because he would be hooked on the smell. Love love love from me for this masterpiece!

I have been looking for a cherry perfume for a very long time, and none of the tested satisfied my crave. Well... have you ever had one of those cute chocolate called Mon Cherie? Slightly dark (not too dark) chocolate, with a syrupy, boozy cherry inside - Kirsch at its best! If you like cherries with a bitter kick and dark chocolate, you'd be in paradise here. So Deep Desire is much alike Mon Cherie: bitter sweet, a tad nutty, rich, decadent. Absolute love, this is so moreish I want a bite of myself!!! I highly recommend to anyone craving a very well crafted, sexy, delicious cherry perfume. This is boudoir stuff Ladies, get some for some hot steamy nights! I am serious, you'd be tantalizing AND moreish at once - put your hands on one bottle if you can, this is my advice.
