Just Cavalli Her
Coffee in a women's fragrance is still an unusual decision, and it is the material that gives Just Cavalli Her Eau de Toilette its character.
The opening is busy and fruity. Apple is crisp and green rather than sugary, sicilian bergamot brings a clean bitter citrus, and cinnamon and cassia arrive together with warmth and a dry, slightly biting spice. Bamboo leaf and elemi sit underneath them, the bamboo watery and green, the elemi resinous with a faint citrus edge of its own, and between them they keep the opening from reading as a dessert.
Then the coffee appears. It is roasted and bitter rather than milky, and it sits across jasmine and cyclamen, which are warm and cool respectively, with lotus adding a clean watery quality that stops the middle from becoming too dense. This is the part that people either love or find strange, and it is worth trying on skin before committing.
The base is soft and warm. Madagascan vanilla is sweet and rounded, tobacco is dry and faintly sweet in the way of a tin of pipe leaf, amber adds a resinous glow, cedarwood gives a dry edge and musk smooths the whole thing down. It lasts well for an eau de toilette and stays close to the skin after the first couple of hours, which makes it easier to wear in company than the note list suggests.
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni composed it. Roberto Cavalli is an Italian house that began in 1970, when the Florentine designer opened a fabric printing workshop and showed his first collection in Paris in the same year. The label built its name on prints and treated denim, the founder stepped back from it in 2015, and its fragrances are produced under licence.
