The Brand

Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli is an Italian designer house whose fragrance line spans mainstream feminine perfumery and a more collector-leaning Marbleous extension. 58 Roberto Cavalli perfumes are catalogued, spanning about $6 to $300 in price. People discussing this house most often name Roberto Cavalli Paradiso, Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum or Roberto Cavalli Tobaccomore. The classic Cavalli feminines cover mainstream sweet-floral territory.

How the top picks smell

Roberto Cavalli Paradiso (Eau de Parfum, 2015) opens with citrus notes and mandarin orange and ends on cypress, stone pine and pink pepper; overall it reads as sunlit mandarin and bergamot with a floral breeze. For Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 2012), expect floral vanilla cream with a pink pepper sparkle: pink pepper up top, benzoin, vanilla and tonka bean underneath. Roberto Cavalli Tobaccomore (Eau de Parfum, 2023) comes across as smoky tobacco leaves over warm amber resin, with saffron at the start and gurjun balsam, labdanum and patchouli at the base.

If you like what you see here, floral perfumes and warm & amber perfumes are good next stops, and the Scendira brands page has the rest.
