It’s potent, but I see it as made for older women with character.
Another Cavalli, this time by Louise Turner, for night and cold. Few notes, but well-blended is enough. I’m surprised by the unusual ingredients. At first, it barely smells, but as it warms on the skin, everything emerges. The opening is boozy and chaotic with citrus that lasts seconds; maybe that fresh note wasn’t necessary. Then comes a spectacular orchid, similar to the one in Calvin Klein’s Euphoria, but more feminine, sweet, and creamy due to the vanilla, and more mature than the original Roberto Cavalli version. In the base, woody ebony notes add darkness, mystery, and sophistication. It’s elegant, feminine, powdery, mysterious, warm, and sensual—perfect for dazzling at night. Although the bottle is dark, it’s not strong or annoying; it’s soft, sweet, slightly powdery, and leaves a beautiful trail. Very long-lasting, what a marvel that it lasts all night without reapplication. It can be enjoyed during the day with moderation, though to me, the orchid feels more like a night scent than a work scent. The bottle is gorgeous: matte black with gold lettering, a cap with the logo, and tiger skin. It evokes a woman’s hips in a black dress. Premeditated sensuality, nocturnality, and a touch of madness. Cavalli continues to enchant me.
Another Cavalli, this one by Louise Turner, for night and cold weather. Few notes, but well-blended is enough. Again, I’m surprised by the rare ingredients. At first, it barely smells, but once it warms on the skin, it explodes. The opening is citrusy, boozy, and chaotic, though it lasts only seconds and wasn’t really needed. Then comes a spectacular orchid, more feminine, sweet, and creamy thanks to the vanilla, feeling more mature than the original. The base is soft, woody ebony that adds darkness, mystery, and sophistication. It’s elegant, powdery, warm, and sensual—perfect for dazzling. It’s not strong or offensive; it’s soft, talc-like, and leaves a beautiful trail. Very long-lasting, what a miracle to look great all night without reapplying. You can wear it by day with moderation, though for me, the orchid works better for night than for work. The matte black bottle with gold lettering and an animal print cap (tiger skin) evokes hips in a black dress. Premeditated sensuality with a touch of madness. Cavalli keeps winning me over.
On this scorching August, I tested Roberto Cavalli’s Nero Assoluto on a fresh morning. It’s an oriental floral in a matte black and gold bottle, with notes of orchid, vanilla, and ebony. I thought it was reckless to use it for work, but it isn’t. It’s deep and intoxicating, yet soft and delicate, made for intimacy and to invite someone to sniff it close. It doesn’t smell citrusy; a sweet-nectared orchid invades the opening, a sensual floral sweetness that doesn’t weigh you down, leaving a trail like a nearby aura. After a few hours, the floral and woody vanilla comes to the forefront, voluptuous but not cloying. The ebony provides those sweetened woody notes. Perhaps it was reckless for work, not because it’s overwhelming or too hot for the season, but because of the sensuality it emanates, which distracts you thinking of a special place and free time.
On a hot August day, I tried Cavalli’s Nero Assoluto. I thought it was crazy to wear it to work, but I was wrong. It’s deep and intoxicating, yet soft and delicate, perfect for intimacy. There are no citrus notes; it opens with a sweet, sensual orchid nectar that doesn’t feel heavy, leaving a close aura. Two hours in, the floral, woody vanilla emerges—voluptuous but not cloying. The ebony gives those slightly sweet undertones. Maybe it really was a bold move for the office, not because it’s annoying, but because its sensuality distracts you and makes you dream of a special place and some free time.
I tested it yesterday and honestly, the opening is very common, nothing surprising. On the skin, it smells like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, perhaps due to the orchid or ebony, though this Cavalli version has much less potency. It’s ideal for cool afternoons or nights and suits all genders. If you like oriental and sweet fragrances, it’s a good option. I like it more in its final phase, when it blends with the skin and becomes more intimate. I wouldn’t buy it, but it’s an interesting creation. If you want to stand out at a party, Black Orchid is better, but if you’re looking for something with that BO vibe without overwhelming anyone, Nero Assoluto is an excellent alternative.
Of course, by the bottle and the main note, it’s (or tries to be) a clone of Ford. Setting quality aside, it’s not a bad execution, though at times I felt a honey note that felt a bit dated. Let’s get to the point: after the initial blast, the orchid sings shamelessly and powerfully, alone and in full force, because my skin ate the citrus, leaving a lingering scent of a cut flower in a vase on the living room table—very tranquil. Within minutes, the vanilla doesn’t keep you waiting and starts a duet that makes your brain search its archives for why it smells so familiar: there it is, Black Orchid. And yet, at times it also reminded me of Fame (yes, the little perfume by the Monster Mom) with its artificial honey. By the 30-minute mark, the sweetened woods emerge, giving a more solid character in contrast to the volatility of the beginning; it’s like “the patchouli of Orchid,” and in my humble opinion, that sets it apart from other floral-vanilla scents it could be confused with (especially at the start), giving it its own personality. The fragrance takes on a vibrant hue, smelling like a twin to Guerlain’s Black Perfect (I’m having a feast finding easter eggs), and adheres to current EDT standards for projection and longevity. It simply woke an instinct in me to buy it (at some point). Very well done, Horse!
Just received it and I’m still letting it settle, but I already know it’s not a clone of Black Orchid, not even remotely (I own the original EDP; maybe it shares some DNA with the EDT or deodorant…). Just to clarify, I tested it in extreme heat… At first, it smells like raspberry or grape gummy candy on a dark, dense base—that part definitely shares similarities with BO. But it fades quickly (whereas BO blends into its heart), giving way to powdery flowers with a citrus twist that remind me a lot of the Jimmy Choo classic EDP’s heart. That sensation of being wrapped in a cloud of talc (or even powdered sugar—hasn’t anyone ever had that happen when beating a custard?! Haha) is unmistakable. Unlike the JC, which is brighter and built on light woods, this Nero Assoluto keeps a slightly darker base, though not by much. It lasts several hours with great projection. That’s what I’ve noticed so far. It doesn’t change much until it starts to softly fade on the skin… The wood notes feel very subtle. Overall, I really like it; it’s refined and quite formal (less everyday than the JC, for example), but it has nothing to do with what I imagined! We’ll keep hunting for clones of that wallet-stealing masterpiece, haha. P.S.: It does share something with Gaga’s Fame, though less sweet and more ethereal and powdery.
Just got it and I’m still taking my time with it, but I already know it’s definitely not a clone of Black Orchid in any way (I have the EDP, maybe it shares something with the EDT or the d’eau…). I tested it in heat… When you first spray it, it smells like juicy gummy candy or raspberry-grape caramel over a dark base; that’s where it aligns with BO. But it fades quickly (whereas BO blends into the heart), and then powdery citrus flowers emerge that remind me of the classic Jimmy Choo EDP. That cloud of talc or powdered sugar—hasn’t it happened to anyone when whipping up a custard? Haha. Unlike the brighter, lighter-wood Jimmy Choo, this Nero Assoluto keeps a slightly darker base, but not by much. It lasts several hours with great projection. That’s what I notice most so far. It doesn’t change much until it softly fades on the skin… The woods are very subtle. Overall, I really like it; it’s neat, fairly formal (less so for daily wear than the JC), but it’s nothing like I imagined! We’ll keep looking for clones of that wallet heist, hehe. P.S.: True, it shares something with Gaga’s Fame, though less sweet and more ethereal.
I tested it again this summer with intense heat (around 37 degrees), and it was much less powdery, more balsamic and dark. Now I understand why they said it could be an alternative to Black Orchid – but it needs heat, lots of heat, to develop that facet.
After testing the Illicit by Jimmy Choo, I came back to this dark one to see if my memory was playing tricks on me… And wow, with time, I like it more and more. What a well-done job! What a delight! It’s a black velvet, something vampiric, narcotic but incredibly elegant, a superb dark floral. If I weren’t in a relationship and wanted to go out to conquer, I’d use this to seduce… Well, I guess I can use it to seduce anyway. Haha, only that I think it requires an outing to do it justice (it’s not a ‘stay-at-home’ scent). The problem, I think, is buying it thinking it’s a clone of Black Orchid – it’s not. Nero Assoluto has its own identity credentials. How happy I am to have it.
Nero Assoluto is absolutely captivating. On the skin, it starts powerful, highlighting a dark orchid surrounded by citrus, I think there’s a bit of bitter orange. Those citrus notes last literally a minute, and then the fragrance sweetens with the vanilla that bursts in without trying to steal the show. That phase seemed great for that unexpected twist. Then, in the heart, the sensual orchid is joined by subtly caramelized woods that add sophistication and personality. In Argentina, they make jams with the Yacaratiá tree; those notes reminded me of that delicious aroma. It shines better at night and in cold climates, although it’s not invasive, so it works for any time. Good fixation, 6-7 hours, moderate sillage. The bottle is gorgeous: absolute black with gold and an animal print touch, projecting mystery and glamour. I confess it surprised me for the better and I love it.

The reviews were very interesting; I’ve seen it for a long time but never smelled it, and I admit I was hesitant. The perfumer also created the elixirs for the Stiletto CH… I like her creations, although in the case of the GG CH on my skin, I couldn’t get any longevity, maybe on the Cavalli line it works. We’ll see if I get it. Thanks to everyone for your opinions.
Here is a very woody and sweet perfume. I love that you can recognize the DNA of the original Roberto Cavalli EDP, but in an extremely subtle way, only at the beginning, so as not to be repetitive with both in the collection. After a juicy, fruity, yet not strident citrus opening, it becomes very woody and sweet, without touching on cloying or gourmand territory. It turns out to be delicate and pleasant. Moderate sillage and about 7 hours of longevity. In my collection, there’s another with the same vibe: Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Royale. Both are addictive and elegant, must-haves for lovers of woody scents. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 7/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 7.5/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.
It’s a woody, sweet perfume that acknowledges the DNA of Cavalli’s original EDP, but subtly—just a brushstroke at the beginning to avoid repetition. After a juicy, fruity citrus opening without any harshness, it turns woody and sweet, never cloying or gourmand. It’s delicate and pleasant. Moderate trail and about 7 hours of longevity. In my collection, another perfume shares this vibe: Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Royale. Both are addictive and elegant, must-haves for lovers of wood notes.

What do you have that makes me seek you out so much? What makes me choose you again and again to hold you in my arms? You have done so many great things! Standing out fiercely over defeated scents. Little has been said about you, or it was done with loaded comparisons, suggesting you copied a black orchid with gold. You were confused, even despised, called ‘Black Horse’ because of your price. As if you weren’t worthy! What does it matter? It amuses me that ignorant people ignore their own ignorance. But without imitating anyone, ignoring with indifference, allowing your own essence to radiate. Maybe I’m obsessive, but silencing you would be a punishment. I refuse to stay silent, enjoying you in use, combining this prose with your creamy vanilla. I’m sincere, the proof is in the pudding: who smells so good? Those citrus notes, your orchids, the sweet delight when the woods bloom. How many times have you told me! Am I being inappropriate? Go ahead and choose me until there’s not a drop left of you! And in my blindness, I choose you, ignoring advice, day or night, it doesn’t matter, if I’m the one carrying you! And you want to invite me to our intimate brotherhood. And this story repeats itself, again the next day.
Very woody and sweet; on my skin, it seems to have spicy ingredients, even though Louise Turner didn’t list pepper; I’m sure it’s the orchid with the citrus that my skin reveals. It’s enigmatic and very sweet. I wouldn’t recommend it for young girls looking for light, feminine perfumes with roses or powdery notes. I agree with Taurien’s review. The poem by LGR1905 fits perfectly. I think I’ll like it more and more, and the plus is that it’s offered at a good price.
OH MY GOD, WHAT BEAUTY! I knew nothing about RC and this, which was a gift, is spectacular. It smells of woods and lots of vanilla, but natural, not that fake essence. It’s super sweet; if you over-spray it, it can get cloying. The orchid is delicious, mysterious, and youthful. The longevity is excellent, beating expensive perfumes that last only 3 hours; this easily hits 6. An incredible surprise. If you’re looking for something sweet, woody, with natural vanilla and sexy vibes, this is it.
I already own three Cavallis: the Just (finished), the EdP, and now this. They’re distinct but share that intense, long-lasting DNA with a sophisticated woody sweetness. NERO ASSOLUTO is more serious than the EdP: it opens with a marked but not sparkling citrus-floral accord. The vanilla balances the orchid to avoid being too gourmand; then the woods take over, with that ebony note that gives it magic (even though patchouli isn’t listed, I can smell it). It lasts about 6 hours with a subtle sillage that isn’t invasive. Not for sport, but perfect for special or semi-formal occasions. It’s ideal for mature women who carry themselves with confidence, not for everyone. Best for autumn and winter. It doesn’t smell like public transport, which is a plus. They say ‘tastes break genres,’ but if you ask me, I recommend it.
Honestly, I was blown away. The black bottle made me expect something dense and solemn, but it turns out to be very wearable, perfect for casual wear. The wood and vanilla notes are realistic, enveloping, and elegant without being heavy. In short: I loved it. It proves that dark can also be bright and versatile.
