Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli Review

I recently got a mini of this, and I was pleasantly surprised with it after being hesitant enough not to want to use it after I smelled it the first time.

First up, it lasted me three weeks of everyday use, so I have a good perception of this fragrance - a good enough one that would make me seriously consider buying this on my next fragrance buying trip.

This isn’t normally the type of scent I’d go for, but as I said this has seriously pleasantly surprised me.

It is a summer scent though, so I might hold off on purchasing this until spring as it’s nearly winter. It would also make it my second Cavalli-fragrance, and I must say I have a whole new perception of this brand. I LOVE IT!!!

So, top notes of Neroli, a little bit of orange and a whole lot of playfulness and a very overwhelming, alluring smell. This is your typical teen-young adult, very playful scent. I wouldn’t think of this as a scent I’d recommend to my mother, or even a scent I’d wear to work. I’d wear this to things like music concerts, festivals, summer events in parks, on the beach, for a brunch with girlfriends, not really a nighttime scent or for dates.

It’s a really strong scent even hours after you’ve sprayed it on, and I find it’s one of those that hangs in the balance of giving you a headache if you spray one fraction more than you should.

When I first sprayed this, I didn’t like it. It smelled way too overpowering, a really bold, floral scent with absolutely no depth whatsoever. I didn’t even want to use it again, so coming over to the reviews section and seeing nobody has reviewed it yet, I decided to do my duty as avid beauty reviewer and give you all a conscious choice before buying, and I am so glad I did. The depth comes in after a couple of hours, and even then it’s not really a sophisticated, grown up scent. It’s still incredibly floral with a hint of something sweet and something sour.

The perfume lasts a LONG time on your skin - long as in when you wake up the next morning you can still smell it, and as time goes on it develops (and it doesn’t mellow!) to be a more subtle and pleasant smell, but yet it doesn’t mellow, it’s still incredibly intense - if you know what I mean? I know I’m totally contradicting myself here haha!

Anyways, I think it’s one of those you’re either going to love or hate. So pop into Farmers and spray it on yourself, and go back the next day or the day after until you’ve tried it a couple of times (or get a mini version from a fragrance counter), because first impressions of this is quite inaccurate.

I love the look of the bottle, but that’s for an edit of this review someday! ;)

Just Cavalli for her is different from many other scents I have owned or tried, I have not ever come across a smell similar to this. I was a repeat buyer of JUST until i could no longer find it, I am happy to see it is up for review as it may come back in stock everywhere. This perfume has so many memories attached to it for me that i hope to buy again for just this reason. The smell is soft almost powdery, strong but not intense, to me this has a floral taste but in a cool way (I don't really like flowery perfumes) and when worn you feel sophisticated because you know it isn't common. It is long lasting as in if you put it on in the evening it lasts the night out and you are bound to get compliments as i did. I recommend you buy it as this has such beautiful tones to it, and although i have not really described the flavor Because 1. it is not a common smell and 2.the feeling you get is JUST as important and I have the best feelings when wearing this. If you can find it get it!
