Just Cavalli I Love Her Roberto Cavalli 2010

If I hadn't known that most Cavalli fragrances are actually quite nice, I would have never tested this scent. Because the bottle is so profoundly ugly that I'm almost embarrassed to have it in my collection. It's actually much uglier than it appears in the picture. The bottle suits made-up, overly glamorous girls with long fake nails, preferably adorned with glitter stones and floral patterns.

However... these girls shouldn't be judged solely by their appearance. Just like this fragrance. I remember an acquaintance from university, absolutely over-the-top. Even her apartment was completely painted pink (no joke!) and she had no restraint when it came to tiger patterns. I never rushed to get to know her, yet somehow we were in the same friend group.
BUT: she was an incredibly warm-hearted person, caring for everything and everyone. If someone seemed lonely, she would take them in. A synthetic shell, a soft core, so to speak.

And this fragrance is exactly like that. Right from the first spray, I feel enveloped in a velvety embrace. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed peach, but it seems to be mandarin. After that, it just gets warmer - just like a glimpse behind the facade of the supposed "bimbo." Frangipani is easily detectable, and at some point, the vanilla starts to vibrate. A light fruity note lingers throughout, not intrusive, just making it suitable for warm summer nights. A truly wonderful perfume.

I'm glad I looked behind the facade. With Cavalli and also with the girl.
