Roberto Cavalli Uomo by Roberto Cavalli

In the stereotype of the sexy, elegant man with a penetrating, hypnotic gaze that steals looks through posture and masculinity, this is the perfume. Every woman who smells it closes her eyes, smiles, and imagines this Italian sharing his lust. Saffron, honey, and violets work magic so she still feels him when she wakes up. A work of art, sensuality, and sexuality in a bottle.

A perfume different from everything I own, with personality and distinction, very elegant and masculine. Decent longevity, about 6-7 hours. I highly recommend it if you want to step away from mass-market scents. Scent note: 8.5, performance: 8, value: 9.5. Would repurchase: 👍

What keeps this from being one of the most used scents is that it doesn’t come from a house like Dior or Chanel. I really like the violet and honey; to me, it’s floral but with a woody touch. Definitely for autumn/winter. I love it and the value is top-notch. 8.5/10

The point of ‘this fragrance reminds me of…’ is to suggest a distinct alternative, but people keep posting flankers or perfumes from the same line. It’s obvious it’s going to resemble the flankers.

In this case, the ‘reminds me of’ section serves little purpose; they’re missing the Dior Parfums, their flankers, and dupes. It’s true it also resembles Ted Lapidus’s Poker Face quite a bit, though the latter is a bit weaker. It’s sweet and floral, but in a masculine way; that touch of flowers and lavender gives it freshness. After a while, you notice the woody honey. A pleasant surprise upon discovering it.

As Virgil wrote about bees, ‘So great a love of flowers and glory of creating honey.’ If the poet were here, he’d be amazed by Roberto Cavalli Uomo: a fragrance with a unique honey that takes you to dark, gothic, yet sweet places. Ideal for cold nights when the sun has set. The woods are noble, hidden under a floral opening that accompanies without overwhelming, lulls without sleeping. It reminds me of Lanvin Avant Garde; it would be its ‘dark’ brother. A nocturnal bird with its own song. Try it, it’s absolute beauty.

Sometimes designer perfumery surprises you when you least expect it. An elegant black bottle in the window display, and suddenly it captures your attention. Cavalli has the potential to stand out, and this Uomo is proof. Love at first sniff with a sweet prelude. I sense soft honey and a floral note soaked in lavender, wonderful. The base of cedar and patchouli is a caress thanks to the tonka. It’s sweet and floral, but in a masculine way, with a notable violet that makes it for night, though it also works during the day. The floral transforms into constant sweetness. The only downside is longevity: 5 hours on skin, not bad for the level, but a little extra spray on clothes helps. Very beautiful, sensual, elegant, and underestimated. Perfect for autumn or winter nights with sweet company.

Roberto Cavalli Uomo: deep, dark, and sensual in its own way, with a sweet, floral, and woody touch. It has a sublime, powdery floral facet that performs superbly, carrying an air of seriousness that charms and sparks curiosity. It’s a complete, rounded, and magnificent work in the Italian style. A hidden gem, definitely first-class. Scent rating: 10. Projection: max 3 hours, then it stays close to the skin. Longevity: 6 hours on skin, 8 on clothes. A masterpiece, highly recommended.

Refinement, delicacy, a great scent that always plays second fiddle: it’s not flashy but very elegant. It’s worth every penny; in fact, I think it has a very low price for the quality it exudes. A very pleasant blind buy.

Roberto Cavalli Uomo is a man sitting on the sofa, with an ashtray and a half-full glass of whisky. He’s divided his letters into two piles: those he wrote but never sent, and those written to him that never arrived. He watches the afternoon fall and shadows color the last golden hues of the sun. He thinks of old friends, kissed women, and things that made him happy, while understanding that life is losing until nothing remains. It’s a dark, very dark, introspective, openly masculine, and decadent fragrance. It sets itself apart from the current woody gourmand trend to present funeral violets over soft, sweet, golden, herbaceous, almost bitter tobacco. In the middle, 19th-century wooden furniture where poems were once written. Affordable, it delivers what its dark, sturdy bottle promises. It joins the club of vampiric aromas alongside Narciso Rodríguez Him, Encre Noire, or Lapidus Black Extreme. Moderate-to-high performance, ready to wrap the day like a silk negligee. Sublime.

This was the typical perfume I loved at El Corte Inglés. A friend told me she got it for €44.10 for 100ml, so I bought it. Upon spraying it, it feels like I’ve smelled it before (it reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s Black XS), but what stands out is that rich, sweet nuance and an interesting leather base. It’s floral with light oriental notes and leather undertones. Something linear but with good longevity, timeless and tasteful. A well-done job with excellent value for money.

Exquisite! I received it and tested it immediately: love at first sight. I thought it smelled like Bvlgari Man In Black, but comparing them showed it wasn’t; perhaps just a memory deceived me. It’s a calm and sophisticated aroma with citrus notes, milky caramel with rum, and sensations of tobacco, mint, and leather (even though the official pyramid doesn’t list them, maybe my nose is just burned!). I’d wear it at night in winter or autumn, but also on those crisp spring evenings. For me, it’s very sensual, ideal for dates. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent; I recommend it.

I’m definitely fascinated by masculine fragrances featuring lavender and cedar. It could easily seem like another typical sugary gourmand scent, but NO: this Roberto Cavalli Uomo has a citrusy and deep touch that makes it stand out, even if it’s not a huge revelation.
