Fragrance Du Bois Cavort is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021. Cavort opens with Davana, Geranium, Cinnamon, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Incense. Fragrance Du Bois's Cavort carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Cavort is a divisive scent, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of spicy floral balance and others finding it too sharp or generic. It's a statement fragrance that doesn't shy away from being noticed, though its high price point for moderate performance is a common gripe.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, Cavort is best suited for evening wear and special occasions where its bold character can shine without overpowering. It's too distinct and luxurious for casual or athletic settings, and potentially too strong for an office environment.

About

Cavort opens with a bold, almost medicinal saffron, softened by the warm spice of cinnamon and a fruity tang from davana and geranium. The heart blossoms into a rich, velvety blend of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom, which some find creamy and others more sharp. It settles into a smooth, slightly dry base of earthy patchouli, resinous labdanum, smoky incense, and creamy sandalwood, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma.
