Spiced opening, rich florals, Indian incense
Cavort, composed by Gaël Montero in 2021, is framed by the brand as a perfume about the charge of a first encounter. Saffron, cinnamon, geranium and davana open it, a bouquet of rose, ylang-ylang, orange flower and jasmine follows, and patchouli, labdanum, sandalwood and Indian incense carry the base.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Saffron and cinnamon bring warmth at once, geranium adds a green, rosy freshness, and davana a fruity, herbal sweetness. The brand singles out davana as a note that adapts to each wearer's skin, so this opening may read a little differently from person to person.
Rose absolute, orange flower, ylang-ylang and jasmine form a full floral heart, rich rather than airy. Rose gives it structure, ylang-ylang and jasmine a creamy, heady fullness, and orange flower brightens it. The spice from the opening stays in the background.
Patchouli, labdanum, sandalwood and Indian incense support the flowers with earth, resin, smooth wood and a dry, slightly smoky glow. The base keeps the florals from turning sweet. It is a warm, grounded finish rather than a sharp one.
Wearing it
Its florals, spice and incense give it presence, so it suits evenings, dinners and cooler weather. One or two sprays on the pulse points are plenty; the florals open first, and the wood and incense come forward as it settles.
Unisex, as the label itself says: "pour homme : pour femme". It fits people who like floral perfumes with spice and wood behind them, and who enjoy a scent with some presence rather than a whisper, whether for work dinners or an evening out.
Cavort, from 2021, belongs to the floral woody family: four notes on top, four flowers in the heart, and sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum and Indian incense below. Gaël Montero composed it, and it comes in a faceted bottle with a crystal-studded cap and a purple gift box.
Questions
A floral woody perfume with spice: saffron and cinnamon on top, rose, ylang-ylang, orange flower and jasmine in the heart, sandalwood, patchouli and Indian incense below.
Yes. The label reads "pour homme : pour femme" and the brand presents it as unisex. Rose, spice and wood are balanced here, so it reads as one scent for any wearer.
This is the 100 ml bottle, presented in a purple gift box, which also makes it easy to give as a present.
The house

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
