Just Cavalli Wild Heart for Him
Saffron is the material that makes Just Cavalli Wild Heart for Him Eau de Toilette 90ml worth a second look, since it is rarely the thing a designer house reaches for in a men's scent at this price.
Everything we hold on this one sits in a single tier, eight materials together, and they pull in two directions at once. Bergamot gives the bitter citrus lift at the start. Saffron brings its odd leathery, slightly medicinal warmth, black pepper adds a dry crack and nutmeg a dusty sweetness, so the spice end is busy. Against that, geranium contributes a green, faintly rosy sharpness, cedarwood a pencil shaving dryness, vetiver an earthy grip, and tobacco the soft, sweetish smell of cured leaf. The result is dry, spiced and a little smoky rather than fresh or sweet. Eight materials in one layer tends to mean a scent that arrives all at once rather than unfolding, and that is the case here. It is legible from the first minute and it holds its character as it fades, which is no bad thing in a bottle you spray before leaving the house without time to think about it. An eau de toilette at 90ml is a generous amount of a fairly serious scent. Cold months, evenings and men are the obvious fit, and it works for dinner, for drinks and for an office in winter where something fresher would be lost under a coat. Two sprays are enough to carry a long night.
An Italian house of 1970, Roberto Cavalli built everything on pattern: treated denim, markings taken from animals, and the printing workshop its founder had run in Florence before any clothes were made. A first collection reached Paris within that opening year, and he left the company in 2015. The fragrance is licensed out to another manufacturer.
