The story of Roberto Cavalli
Born in Florence, Roberto Cavalli made his name in the early 1970s by developing a technique for printing on leather, which he then showcased in his collections. His house became synonymous with leopard, zebra and python prints, embellished jeans and flamboyant dresses, worn by the jet set and celebrities alike. In the 1990s and 2000s the brand enjoyed wide international success with several lines, including Just Cavalli. Fragrance accompanied that expansion with a number of launches. In 2012 the house released Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum for women, in a bottle decorated with a snake motif, one of the brand's emblems. It asserts a sensual, warm femininity fully in keeping with the house aesthetic and its taste for unapologetic glamour, and it quickly became the brand's reference scent.
An olfactory signature
The Roberto Cavalli signature is sensual and warm. The 2012 fragrance opens on pink pepper, cedar and plum, a spicy, fruity entrance. The heart pairs orange blossom and jasmine, two luminous, sensual white flowers. A base of tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin wraps everything in an ambery, balsamic softness. It is a generous floral oriental made to shine at night, with the same taste for drama that defines the brand's clothes and its red-carpet dresses.
