Description
Roberto Cavalli is launching a new fragrance in February 2013, the second fragrance arising from collaboration with the house of Coty. The name of the fragrance is Just Cavalli and it was created by perfumers of the house of Firmenich – Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin. The perfume is described as creamy-floral and extremely sexy!
Top notes of Just Cavalli offer luminous and sparkling drops of neroli, announcing the sexy heart created of Tahitian tiare flowers, along with warm, cuddly and creamy rosewood accords in the base. The fragrance is available in a pink glass bottle covered with gold-color metal, while the fragrant liquid can be seen through the Just Cavalli logo and through the bottom half made of transparent glass. The cylindrical top is embellished with a pink snake motif wrapped in the middle, while the outer carton also contains the snake motif accentuated with golden details.
Fragrance Just Cavalli is available as 30, 50 and 7 5ml EDT accompanied with 150 ml body lotion. The face of advertising face is Georgia May Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. The advertisement was filmed Jonas Akerlund, and photos were taken by Mario Sorrenti.

A simple but very attractive scent
I love the creamy and sweet rosewood drydown
ROKKE – :
I love it. Sorry about my crappy earlier review which I now deleted. You shouldn´t give a review on a perfume unless you´ve worn it at least a couple of times. It is sexy and warm and very feminine. Once again a successful Nathalie Lorson creation.
ctd193Bessinepome – :
Is this discontinued? I went to two perfume shops in my country in Europe, the first one had the gold version but not this one and in the second one I was told this was not being produced anymore.
kyvaldometr – :
Powdery and softer version of Roberto Cavalli edp the golden Tiger striped one. Dont know why Comes to me musky, maybe its because of wood in it. Woody and floral soft touched feminine scent. On my skin longevity isnt good but on clothes and my clean hair remarkable.
Kaktyc – :
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.
brarrygef – :
I used to wear it when it came out, and I bought it again today…it is a beautiful white flower perfume, tropical and creamy, with a sunny dose of neroli and tiare, without being a suntan scent…I get the most compliments wearing this one…! It has projection and longevity, yet the white flowers are creamy enough that it is never sharp..
It leaves around you an aura of fresh island breeze, sensual and pretty ..loving it all over again !! I love Cavalli, his fragrances are very unique and full of character..
malinka – :
Something in this perfume just doesn’t do it for me.
It’s heart breaking because it was my first Roberto cavalli scent.
I just can’t keep up with it. It’s not my type.
ArournJulvarl – :
Does anyone think the creamy powdery wood scent smells like sandalwood? Or is that a typical rosewood smell? Or is the rosewood smelling similar to sandalwood because of one of the other notes?
Curious lady here 😉
tvictor468 – :
Nice scent BUT very tiring…UGH!
79114604552 – :
I love the opening, but it seems to fade to a powdery masculine smell fairly quickly on me, which I don’t like. This batch was made in 2017. Spent $30 on it at T.J. Maxx and will be returning it.
artemiuss – :
I’m new to Roberto’s fragrances (just brought this one) and I find it to be a semi-sweet, creamy floral fragrance, that’s somewhat unusual. It’s very long lasting…over 8 hours staying power. I will by it again.
serebro1 – :
My first Cavalli and is not disappointing. It is a very strong and lovely scent. I see it more in cold weather. I do not believe this has only three notes listed, smells more complicated. Love it!
алин73 – :
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.
myjsus – :
Just Cavalli is very nice. It smells semi-sweet, clean and kinda creamy. It reminds me of a luxurious bodycream. The tiare is very prominent, but not annoying at all, it’s very well balanced.
It does remind me a little bit of Alien, but this smells way more inoffensive. But it’s not boring at all!
However this is a great fragrance, I prefer the Gold edition.
Sillage and longevity are both moderate.
Lovely scent!
EDIT:
this smells like the lovechild of Hypnotic Poison and Alien. I know, weird right? But it works!!
entaike – :
Sweet fizzy root beer, flowers and a bit of woods and vanilla. On my skin this has a slightly powdery drydown. Definitly Cavalli as that signature Cavalli note of orange blossom lingers in the background.
I am slightly reminded of JPG Clasique, if JPG launched a Clasique Sport flanker, removed a significant amount of vanilla and powder…
sger75 – :
Starts off a bit rough but gets creamier as it dries down, nice garden fresh white floral. An apt name, this is ‘just’ a white floral.. I used to use rosewood essential oil but although this is supposed to have it I am not reminded of it..
Meevz601intitytek – :
This has a very beachy opening note and a lot of powder. I like this best on summer nights.
Владимир57 – :
It seems like some notes are missing here. I smell oriental vanilla.. This fragrance is a sweet oriental middle eastern type scent. Sweet woods and sweet powdery floral.
Yudj – :
I am in the ferry on my way to a tiny Greek island its Summer and I am in love…
I smell this perfume in the ferry’s shop and I love it but don’t buy it…
I smelled it again few days ago and all memories of these days passed in front of my eyes making me feel so nostalgic….
I tried it again and yes, there it is… The perfume of holidays of someone in love…
Warm, sexy, sensual, tropical, creamy, deep, evening perfume..
I think goes perfectly well with Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse oil I apply to my body after bath!
Ι don’t like the bottle… Its not a pink perfume and I dislike animal prints in any kind of humans products
Edit: I will wear it this year on my Summer holidays in Salento – Italy…
Stardron – :
I love this white flower creamy creation! I would call it a cougar fragrance. It lasts long and the sillage is great and I get lots of compliments. It is a very warm scent so maybe consider wearing this in the fall or winter. Definitely one of my favourites.
smaidiigaizzz – :
Overrated is in the eye of the beholder. But what’s not in the eye of the beholder is the ability to discern which reviews have been voted down, with the exception of your own or unless you are keeping inordinately close track on all the others.
oxjamesf2 – :
Love at first sniff!
Sexy scents!
interlocut – :
Iv made my mind up. I can not stand this its given me a headache. I see the alien vibe people are getting but its nowhere near as nice or complex. Alien is creamy sweet and fresh while this is sharp and I cant stop smelling curry powder! Even the juice is a curry colour. Not for me ill give it to my aunt 🙂
ziro4ka88 – :
If I had to say what is the sexiest perfume I had smelt: THIS. SEXY is the perfect word to describe it. I do not usually wear this type of perfumes, I prefer floral or fruity-floral like Daisys or Blooming Bouquet, but this is an exception and I LOVE IT.
Can’t stop smelling my arms when I wear it. If I were lesbian, I would love a girl who wears this hot perfume.
tatar1129 – :
To me this smells like alien with the yellow floral twang that lady million has. I bought 30ml for £6.99 in b&m bargains unsniffed and love it! It’s very strong and long lasting too
killz5 – :
This is a beautiful and comforting fragrance! To my nose it is the love child of Hypnotic Poisen by CD and The One by D&G! It is so fluffy yummy! Sweet but not so sweet! Creamy but not powdery! It’s just right! It is lovely! I can see this being a go to in the fall, winter, and early Spring! Just beautiful!
4481298 – :
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!!
MarshallWS – :
I loved it on my work colleague on whom it smelled soft and sexy. Ordered it myself but it seems that the sharp opening lingers too long on me and I can smell it on my own self, which is not a good sign regarding body chemistry. Comments I got from my friends: ‘like spa cosy towels with something’. Pretty but not too sexy.
Dolphinsa – :
I’d say this fragrance comes into play sharply. It’s strong and quite bold. On my skin it’s mostly sour and slightly sweet. Nevertheless I like it, even if its sillage is moderate on me in 1-2 hours and then it weakens. Still it lasts for more than 12 hours.
I see it as a fragrance for a woman, not for a girl. It can be suitable for office but not only. Sharp, sour, slightly powdery, white flowers plus rose, light ash pink, slightly sweet, these are adjectives that come to my head.
BMW – :
I find this a rich, heady and warm scent. In my opinion it is an evening or wintertime fragrance. I think it would be too potent and cloying for a summer day or to wear in an office environment. One spray is definitely enough. I agree that it is not a scent for a young person.
denis1987 – :
Just got this today, first spray, Lancóme Poeme!!. It’s so similar. I don’t detect any hint of Alien in it as others have said, bit disappointed by that. I’ve never been a Poeme fan so I’ll see how this settles on my skin, might have to sell this on though. It’s not unpleasant, quite a lovely smell actually but the resemblance to Poeme is not sitting well with me so not sure I can tolerate it 🙁
Update: Putting this away and going to give it another try in Summer, may actually be a sexy beast in warmer months. It’s just not working at the moment, its so cold here in the north east UK right now and it’s not mixing too well. I can imagine it in warm weather. I’ll update again in about 6 months lol x
olyasweeti – :
Love it! Love all of cavalli. I had jc pink before and we just love that one but the price is all over the place. So this one is loud powdery and has that woody note from Alien in it. I prefer this too alien as alien has that baby diaper smell whereas cavalli uses pink florals and powders around the woods. This is like some overseas Moroccan Persian perfume. I love it get it!
Vladimir33 – :
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

I just received the bottle of 75 ml today and what can I say? First, this was a blind buy and I had absolutely no idea what to expect from it. I mean, I can see the notes listed here and I read all the reviews but still I couldn’t imagine what it would be like. I have never smelled the tiare flower or the neroli and my nose isn’t that expert to detect all the notes. But I’m so happy with my purchase and for the fact that I gave this perfume a chance, I can’t even believe I like it so much. No, I’m using the wrong words: I don’t like it, I love it.
So, it’s been a while that I have had this wish to try one of Cavalli’s perfumes. I’d like to remark that one of my first perfume experiences was not less than a Cavalli perfume – Oro which I loved so much and it will always have a special place in my heart. But then, I almost forgot his fragrances and I was so curious and eager to have one. When I saw that they had this bottle in offer for 27 euros, I immediately thought to purchase it and I must admit that I couldn’t wait for the package to come ( I ordered this one and a 100 ml bottle of Burberry London ) and I couldn’t be happier for giving this gem a chance.
Until I opened the confetion I was seriously in doubt – was I gonna like it ? So first, I draw near my nose the bottle cap and a natural exlamation comes from me- Oh my god, what is this smell? I love it! And I hadn’t even sprayed it on my wrist. After spraying it three things came to my mind: I was 99% sure I had smelled this perfume a long time ago on someone, it’s like JC was very popular back in time and I can assume it was being that it was created in 2006 and during these ten years I am so sure that have smelled it before because my brain instantly recognised it; secondly this is so powerful for being an eau de toilette, it was necessary only one spray to fill the room, stronger than any other eau de perfume I have and I can tell that it has an unbelievable sillage and longevity; at first I could smell a strong floral note that presented itself in a slightly harsh and bitter way but after 30 minutes it settles down and the middle and heart notes reveal themselves and it transforms into the most delicious soft, creamy, balmy, rich smell. It’s delicate but warm and sexy at the same time. It doesn’t shout attention Hey I’m here! like Alien does, but has a very unique way to present itself. It says I’m here but I don’t need to show off because I already know who I am, it’s the others who must search for me not the other way. It makes a woman feel confident and sexy for sure. Third, I don’t think this perfume is so suitable for summertime or when it’s very hot. I’m testing it now and it’s like 35° degrees and it’s so cloying and powerful that mixed with the warm weather it’s making me feel a little bit dizzy and causing a headache. A cooler weather would be much more suitable or during the night time.
Overall, I am so excited to have purchased the full bottle and to have added to my collection this extraordinary, special, incredible scent.
ganzal – :
Es un olor fuerte, pesado , dulce y yo diría que no tan juvenil como otros dulces. Es recomendable para el invierno.
pahaneez – :
I recieved a bottle of 50 ml today and i am surprised,because i was expectint something more sweet.It’s so sexy and warm.Just perfect!
FARVEKADEALEM – :
This is sweet but not overly so, sexy but in a subtle way, it becomes creamy and enveloping, it’s dynamic rather than girly and I brought the biggest bottle because I loved it at first smell.
I’ve read a lot of people commenting it has a great longevity, sadly it seems not to be so for me. Twenty minutes top and I can’t smell it anymore, I could shower in it and it wouldn’t make a difference. The hotter the weather is, the longer I can smell it, but it still doesn’t reach an hour so it was very disappointing. I still like it though, I rarely can walk by the bottle without taking a sniff of it.
Slavik55555 – :
UPDATE: right, so this is slowly growing on me. I’m starting to get the tiare a bit more and the drydown is not bad. Still, not one I would’ve bought if I’d tested it.
I was SO disappointed in this one. When I saw tiare flower I jumped at it. But on me this turned very sharp. Not at all the creamy experience I usually have with tiare. I wish they had added some vanilla, or something like it, to soften it a bit.
It’s not ghastly, but certainly not what I was expecting.
shargov10 – :
I also am a Gold Fan and it reminds me of gold but less sweet more sparkle, a bit floral but it dries down creamy all the same.
very easy to love and like all Roberto perfumes it’s Sex Sex Sexy!
lenni – :
Very, very nice. The Just Cavalli Gold version is one of my favorite perfumes, so I was curious enough of the original to try a sample of it. It is delectable. Creamy white flowers without going into the bubblegum vibe of Roberto Cavalli EdP. If you like this one and are into gourmands, do try Just Cavalli Gold. It’s amazing.
val1000 – :
I sprayed this at 6am and more than 12 hours later my husband laid on me and told me I smelled so good. I love this fragrance. I get whiffs of it all day and its heavenly.
Shustothe – :
Similar to a mix of Alien EDT and Alien Eau Extraordinaire by Thierry Mugler. Unfortunately the tiare flower doesn’t agree with me, it’s too cloying.
ArtNika – :
Wearing this today, I thought it reminded me of Womanity (TM) but now I agree I think its very much like Alien (TM! It starts off a bit punchy and strong but then fades to a beautiful soft powdery scent on the bottom notes. Got given this by a friend who gets free perfume to review in her job (lucky!) and she hated this one. Nice freebie 🙂
MapAppodadump – :
Tiare, tiara, tiara! If that’s a flower scent that you enjoy as I do then you’ll probably love this perfume.
cromm – :
This one was on sale on one of my country web mall, so after seeing that white flower is listed as one of the notes, i decided to blind buy it since white flower notes works so well with my skin chemistry.
But when i received it, i was so disappointed that the perfume does not smell as i anticipated. It smells so powdery and woody and it reminds me of old lady’s house. I’m not brave enough to spray it to my skin yet as I’m worried it will give me headache (I hate woody smell!!!), but the spray to the paper strip does not give much hope either. Why did i think it smells more masculine than feminine?
I’m going to give it a benefit of a doubt and i will come back giving an updated review after i tried it on my skin.
1st edit: my colleague complains of “what is this strong smell? it gives me headache.” I didn’t tell her that i sprayed a little of this perfume in the air. Oh my God, 1st random review from random people is not so encouraging.
2nd edit: I tried on myself few other times and still give it the benefit of the doubt. I still hoping for the fresh, crisp smell from white flower and citrus, but the powdery and woody note is so overpowering any other smell. I gave up and decide this is not for me so I gave to it my husband since it is so masculine.
Turn out, it smells much better on my husband. All the woody and powdery intermingling with the smell of sweat and tobacco really smells sexy and interesting! So there.
shukin – :
A heavenly scent.. Very elegant, unique and rich. Notes are very well balanced and layers perfectly to generate this masterpiece!! This is my second bottle and lm going to buy a third one soon. People always stop to ask me what am l wearing and complement me on it. Silage is rather noticeable and longevity is excellent (6-8 hrs+) depends on where you spray it; on skin or on clothes. A truly remarkable scent, very versatile and unlike any other. I am happy l own it among my other 65 bottles 🙂 Lol
nikchim – :
My first impression of Just Cavalli is sharp, dry, and bitter with a hint of floral. The neroli really dominates the first fifteen minutes or so. For another half hour, the neroli pulls out a strange soapy smell, almost like ivory bar soap. It is then that I’m able to see how people are able to compare it to some Alien fragrances. It takes some patience, but after that I’m finally able to smell the tiare flower, and then it turns pleasant and creamy, and almost balmy. It wore for over eight hours on me. It isn’t my style personally, but it makes me think of warm summer nights.
Edit: There’s no banana note and it does NOT smell like bananas, but it somehow makes me think of and want bananas!
tars81 – :
It’s a strong Neroli n Anais w florals n did not work w my chemistry…darn… If anyone wants it, I’ve a 1/2 of 2.5oz to swap!
Personally I would say that it’s close but sweeter & stronger than Cacharel’s Anais Anais and it is rated as being close to Alien eau Extraodinaire. Sweeter n more nutmegy than Amarige by Givenchy. They say smell like Poeme Lancome but i don’t think so.. I think it does smell like Chloe Neroli which did work on my skin! Sadly this did no work on my. Swapped it out!
zze003speagoessenda – :
Very similar to Alien Extraordinaire (TM).
Meqlz831JeomiWogkig – :
Oh my gosh this is just perfect! I get a lot of compliments when I wear this. This is definitely for parties!
Exs – :
Just cavalli is a beautiful exotic white floral. Its very heavy and last for a long time. Also it reminds me of the red Amarige, remembered it was very popular in the early 90’s.
If you like florals, then its a must have.
#ИМЯ? – :
I was sure that I had smelled this before but couldn’t find. A few minutes ago, suddenly found it. The scent resembles nivea nourishing honey mask a lot
m1cro08 – :
I wondered whether there was something weird going on with my body chemistry as a few perfumes that I’ve tested recently seem to have an aniseed note which hasn’t been listed. I’m relieved to find that anise has been mentioned in reviews below. I have tested this twice and like the reviewer directly below me, have had two different encounters. The first time it was a forgettable creamy citrus, the second, that light but bitter anise was the main and lingering note. The weather was warmer the first time. The second test was at a discount chemist that keeps the perfumes in a window display so the bitterness could be from exposure to sun and light. I will test it again out of curiosity but I’m pretty sure it’s not for me.
moroz1012 – :
funny how parfumes can change due your chemistry. Today I received my bottle ! I sprayed it on and now I smell more neroli and the last time more tiareflower. Maybe it has to dry down more. But it smells like a complete other parfume right now 😉 maybe it’s because it’s more warm at the moment. When I tested this one, it was a lot colder.
Now, it’s 6 in the moring, so after 7 hours, this parfume turns in a very soft rosy smell! So lovely :-0 The scent is back to how I smelled it last time.
ashot – :
To me,this is a very sugary sweet white floral. I find it powdery rather than creamy like others say. It is sweet like simple syrup and very vanilla in a cake frosting sort of way. At first there seems to be a bit of spice,perhaps star anise. I smell the tiare but like it done better in Denise Richards perfume. I can only wear this layered underneath DR to project it more. By itself,it is not for me. The bottle is sort of childish. I could do without this one in my collection. Could see this worn in winter months as well as summer for those who like it.
niki197722 – :
At first, I get a blast of strong pepper with the *strong* and soapy neroli, but the drydown is to die for ~ and almost exactly like Serge Lutens’ Fleurs d’Oranger. As a matter of fact, the two things I didn’t like in SL were the saccharin/nutra sweet/equal/aspartame note, and the strong cumin. There is zero aspartame here, and the peppery and slightly pheromone-y hints are gone quickly.
This is a beautiful and well done neroli scent that starts off “unisex” and has a beautiful, soft and wispy (yet tenacious) drydown. I don’t get any tiare. I don’t get any rosewood either, but I’m sure it’s there, grounding things. I am also surprised there are only three notes.
I see why people say they feel it’s a light Alien. I don’t, only because this is so warm and Alien is so cold and electric, but I can still see it. What I see more are the comparisons to Lancome’s Poeme. I only see it way in the drydown, when I’ve gotten very warm (it’s 97 and very humid here now), but it’s definitely there.
The only thing I might do differently is make the tiare more pronounced.
All in all, A+.
Приколистка – :
flirty, fun, and feminine on a warm summers evening. Had to have it 🙂
weteran – :
Can someone tell me if it is it the tiare flower or the neroli that lingers on the nozzle? That I find to be reminiscent of a very familiear early 90’s smell and very lovely too! It hangs around for the briefest moment when you spray Just Cavalli. Then it all goes softly sour for awhile before showing it’s personality. What a beautiful floral this one is. It’s warm but not wintery warm. I find it very likeable and comforting too. Feel good stuff. This is one pretty scent! The shape of the flacon is not wow but the quality and the finish is impressive.
bigbrother – :
Let say this… It’s a wonderful scent really.
the first spray i don’t like that much a little bit weird imo but after 2 min it’s so nice! And than i know it! It’s a light version of alien! A little bit different but it’s in the same derection! I really smell a light alien in this scent. So if that perfumme is to heavy for you i try this one!
icersape63 – :
Hi there,
I tryed this one in store. Wow! how a lovely scent. Starts fresh but at once also warm, I don’t know how tiare smells but it’s sooo getting my attention 😉 I coudn’t keep smelling my wrist witch is in my case, a very good thing! At the end it does really smell rosy. So, this piramid is simple but I do smell all the ingredients. And also special is that I smell different notes while sniffing. So, this one doesn’t get bored at all. It last about 5 hours on my skin. Witch is quite normal I think. In beginning I smell it by turning my wrist, later on it’s more close to the skin. For me a perfect summer parfume! Sensual in a good way! and word it’s price I think ( here 40 euro for 50 ml )
16lara1976 – :
Gorgeous. A little less neroli, though and WIN!
chaman1979 – :
This is a balader parfume for me, I find it so easy to wear both day and nigh, fall and spring, even in winter maybe, and it is, just as almost every Cavalli’s parfume, a feminine and anything but “cheap” in the nose, parfume!
It is kind of seductive, kind of simple, kind of different, and noticable but not in a way that it can be called heavy!
Definitelly one of the must haves!
anton26 – :
I am amazed, that it’s so good. I haven’t tried anything that good by Roberto Cavalli so far.
I like it’s bitterness and subtle sourness.
It’s so nice to smell it.
Delightful white floral.
This is indeed sexy and creamy floral, as the description says. Elegant as well.
I don’t own anything like it, but maybe it’s time for a change. 🙂
PeelayGythila – :
I LOVE this fragrance. It changes a lot during the drydown, and depending on how humid the weather is, and how oily your skin is. Mainly, it smells like a combination of Jean-Paul Gaultier Classique, Thierry Mugler Alien Sunessence and tiare flower. The tiare flower is very prominent, but not in a sunlotion, synthetic Haiti kind of way, but with a more clean, dry and sometimes almost bitter feeling to it – at least in the beginning. Other days – in colder, more dry weather (typical Scandinavian weather) it has a rosey undertone.
I also own the golden Roberto Cavalli with the monogram lid. I really like that one as well, but it is sooo heavy and sometimes even nautiating. This has the same kinda vibe to it, but this one is way more young, fresh and tolerable if you (or othera around you!) are sensitive to heavy fragrances.
I am not crazy about the packaging and bottle. It is not as glamorous as the golden Roberto Cavalli, and the big logo thing + the pink snakeskin makes it a bit teenage girly and almost tacky.
Rictalliank – :
I have had Just Cavalli for quite a while. JC is a beautiful, warm, tiare dominant perfume. There’s something clean about it, I get kind of a clean laundry/clean skin undertone, overlaid by this beautiful, sexy sweet floral. JC reminds me somehow of TM Alien, but much more wearable and not quite as “purple”. I only have one issue with JC – it’s strong. I am not super sensitive to perfume, but much of the time I get a headache from it. The lasting power is super amazing, and on my skin not much is needed (this lasts easily 8+ hours on me). I would add this to my favorites if I could escape the headaches…
Still, wonderful perfume! Almost a love for me.
Raybek – :
2 days ago I bought this fragrance after testing many many perfumes for about a month ,I’ve wore many many perfumes in my life despite that I am only 21, I thing that this one is something fresh &young and easily to wear it all day.And althought it is edt it stays in my skin at least 5 hours!I can still smell it when I touch my fingers on where I sprayed after 8 hours and I sprayed only twice…. 🙂
Nath – :
I “accidentally” got this while hunting down Just Cavalli Gold. What a happy mistake! I ended up finding both, and I adore both of them, but I actually prefer this to the Gold.
The floral is gorgeously blended and I would have sworn there was a whole lot more going on than three notes here. I’m getting the rosewood from the start and it creates a depth to the fragrance that is simply exotic. The soft floral drydown is suspiciously like Gold, but does not have the chocolate smell of Gold so I feel this will be more successful in warm weather.
Stealtsheax – :
This is one of my favorites. The blend of the tiare flower and the rosewood smells so juicy. It lasts the entire day, which is a pleasant surprise since it’s an edt. I really can’t believe there are only 3 notes. It has so much depth. The notes are perfect and very well blended. I got the gift set at TJMaxx at a good price and I highly recommend it. I’m considering stocking up since TJMaxx has it at such low prices. I don’t ever want to run out of this masterpiece.

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 had the same experience as Lilah Veil: this seems very close to Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum. It’s possibly a little sweeter, a little lighter, but on me very close to the slightly older fragrance – the Eau de Parfum’s teenage sister?

This isn’t a bad smell, this isn’t a great smell. It’s just…there! I can’t even pinpoint any specific note in this! It smells like it’s trying to be a fresh and clean and everything in between! It’s painfully synthetic! I personally don’t care if a fragrance is high end or if it’s a knock off, as long as my sniffer enjoys that to hell with the name, price or designer! That being said, I wouldn’t wear this is I was paid to, it’s just so bland!

Wow! I have had some perfumes in my time but this has just jumped to the top of the list. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this smells like it has more than just three notes. It is every perfume I love in one. It changes from smelling fresh like clean linen to warm and comforting to sexy and I love all three. It is like Thierry Mugler Alien but lighter. It could even be the little sister of Dior Poison original or hypnotic. It is pure bliss. I am so g
