Just Cavalli Gold for Him, from Roberto Cavalli was released in 2014. The perfumer behind this creation is Domitille Michalon Bertier. It has the top notes of Cardamom, Nutmeg, Pepper, and Pimento, middle notes of Coffee and Leather, and base notes of Amber and Vetiver.
Just Cavalli the original was a knee jerk buy for me and a fragrance I subsequently got shut of in a recent wardrobe cull. However I don't think it deserved the slating it gt from the fragrance community because it wasn't that bad, the reason I got rid was because I found it a bit too much like a mundane deodorant not due to any offence it caused. I have to say the bold opening notes of this fragrance made me stand up and pay attention reminding me spicy scents like Xeryus Rouge or Hot Water and kind of sharing something with D&G's The One. Then a drydown which delivers a coffee note (which is even a bit nutty) in addition to what is an incredibly warm base of woody notes and approxmated 'leather' from the original fragrance (which everyone seemed to HATE!!!) and a soapy spice of cardamom. When you weigh all that up it sounds like a very interesting fragrance right(?) but in reality you end up with something a little uninspiring. I don't know why that is because I quite like Just Cavalli Gold and the performance seems to great. This is second time trying it and it's definitely wearable and an improvement on the first effort in this range. Still something is cheap and cheesy about this whole thing slathered in Gold and snakeskin it's just tacky. No one is going to smell this and declare it as revolutionary but worth a sniff for those after a thick, heavy, wintery 'Going out' fragrance.
