Cavort
Cavort by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with saffron, davana, geranium and cinnamon, moves into rose, orange blossom, ylang-ylang and jasmine and dries down to patchouli, labdanum, sandalwood and incense. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
