Just Cavalli Him by Roberto Cavalli

Young and fresh, but it fades in four hours. Honestly, nothing special; better to look elsewhere.

Smells good, but nothing new or original; it smells like a generic fragrance. It has an attractive design and a reasonable price. If you were looking for a Just Cavalli for men with a strong, challenging, and long-lasting scent as the packaging suggests, you will be disappointed. Same if you expected something like Xeryus Rouge for the pepper, or a Vetiver/Guerlain/Terre d’Hermès/Narciso Blue Noire/Encre Noire vibe for the heart; it will fail you too. It’s like a clone of Bleu de Chanel EDT, but without its quality, with a touch of soft leather that gives it personality, a nocturnal and rogue feel. Performance, longevity, projection and sillage: all moderate. For me, it lasts 4-5 hours with no perceptible sillage beyond the first 15 minutes. Without a doubt, the best of the Cavalli house in men’s EDT.

I own this fragrance and it’s not very special, but it has its charm: you need to try it in favourable weather for the notes to stand out. Sometimes I feel it richer than other times; I think climate and pH play a big part. Its notes are fresh with a slight sweetness. In short, it’s a decent aroma for everyday wear, fresh weather and the office; it doesn’t disappoint. I like it because it’s uncomplicated and you can tell it has quality.

Nothing too complex, few notes and no great surprises, but very fresh and pleasant. For the price, it’s a good option for everyday wear. I didn’t detect any sweaty or strange odours, and I liked it a lot. 7/10.

I agree with arp: over time it leaves a sweaty aromatic trail, I think due to the stated leather. I bought it to get away from the current perfume environment that emphasises overly sweet openings; it won’t be one of my favourites, but I’ll still use it regularly.

If it’s an adolescent fragrance, it’s not sophisticated, it’s the same as many others, but it’s not bad; I think that says everything about this perfume: ‘youthful, fresh and not bad’. I was surprised it only has three notes; I would have thought it had some citrus or marine note, and the chilli stands out.

A slightly sweet fragrance, with a somewhat grating, annoying and even ‘detestable’ aroma, as it also feels like a ‘sweat’ smell, which is unpleasant. Fortunately, it has low sillage and low longevity; on me it lasted about 5 hours, always clinging to the skin. I repeat: it’s a youthful fragrance or for ‘beginners’; an experienced person who has tried good fragrances will reject it without hesitation.

A bit sweet, with an odour that can be annoying, irritating and even ‘detestable’, as it resembles ‘sweat’, something truly unpleasant. The good thing is it has a low sillage and short longevity; on me it lasted about five hours clinging to the skin. Fortunately, I’m going to buy it again. Yes, it’s a youthful perfume or for ‘novices’ in fragrances; anyone with experience or who has tried good perfumes will reject it without hesitation.
