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.

I've only just discovered your fine, rapturous review. Very well written and your longing for fall is great.
You really infect me with it. These aromatic, somewhat creaky green chypres are great. My passion for perfume began with this scent. I fell in love with Cabochard when I was 16.

Fabergé has put a beautiful vintage egg in your nest that won't take flight so quickly ;o)

Certainly not a fragrance for me, but I'm glad your blind buy is giving you so much pleasure. 😍

The smell of perfume leather alone would make the fragrance unwearable for me - if I were to notice it
would perceive it. However; congratulations on the successful blind purchase!

It's special, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

I can understand you perfectly.

I'm also looking forward to fall. I'm not a summer girl. I really like Aliage. Maybe Cabale too?
