Roberto Cavalli Black
by Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli Black is a refined, aromatic oriental fougere that strikes a balance between herbal freshness and warm, creamy sensuality. The opening features a crisp blend of bamboo, coriander, and tarragon, livened by notes of geranium and white pepper, creating a green, slightly spicy aura that feels both modern and classic. Lavender and musk rise in the heart, giving the scent its signature smoothness and depth, complemented by subtle cedar and tonka bean that deliver a soft, sweet warmth in the drydown. The composition evolves quietly but consistently, with an airy, musky-sweet persistence that feels elegant rather than overpowering. It performs best in cooler weather and at night, where its sillage and longevity are most apparent, lasting up to eight hours with moderate projection.
