Retro earthy leather cologne

It would be quite difficult that a scent like this one was marketed for women nowadays, its earthy leather and spicy character is from nowadays perspective too masculine to even call it unisex. Just a matter of trends I suppose, I can't even think of a today's scent I would connect it to. In fact, it smells older than 1970s, I would say is nearer to pre 2nd war leather eau de cologne creations, so I guess already retro feeling when it came out.. There are flowers (carnation and jasmine) and agrumes in it but no sweetness at all. This one is an elegant bitter dry green leather cologne, spicy, animalic and woody, at least it is on me. Fascinating long lasting drydown, for those of us who enjoy almost any kind of proposal on leather and dare to wear vintage scents in a proud and carefree way.

Cavale means escape,

i would be interested to know how Fabergé came up with this name. Nothing here drives me to flee, on the contrary. I would probably run after the person wearing this fragrance to get as close as possible to absorb every last wisp of scent and ask what it is called.

Cavale was a blind buy, I was browsing the net for vintage fragrances, a lucky strike, like Revillon 4, Bizarre and Sharra, can of course also go wrong, but this spring Fortuna was kind to me.

The fragrance starts with green citrus fruits, sour, a little bitter and bristly. Patch and deep green, woody herbs quickly follow, aromatic, tart and irresistible to me, with oakmoss and leather forming the base. When I put on Cavale, I think of autumn, my favorite season. Colorful leaves, wafts of mist through which the warming sun slowly breaks through, the scent of damp forest floor...menno, I want autumn... I rate the longevity as good, the sillage medium to good. And of course this fragrance is unisex, for sure.

Cavale is a child of its time, a green, woody chypre, typical of the 70s and 80s, when women's fragrances were allowed to be tart and masculine, more pithy than many men's fragrances today. Anyone who likes Alliage or Cabochard will like Cavale I think, they play in the same league.
