I didnt like it at all , its too old makes me feel in the 80s
This manages to be a woody fragrance without adding too much sweetness yet is still very feminine and sparkly. There is a cuddly element to this perfume because it has a warm feel to it, yet is not overly so. I think it's definitely a fall/winter inside type scent. Sillage is great and radiates with the sparkle element, thanks to the patchouli. There is a prominent spiciness that works well with that patchouli. Probably a great going out fragrance, but not for the office. It's just too loud and too feminine.
When I first put it on ,I thought "oh,no!" because all I could detect was sandalwood,amber and freesia which combined smelled very much like cinnamon and I am not a fan of overly spicy perfumes. However,it does develop into a really nice scent. I do get the bergamot in the beginning but not for long, and then the magnolia and honeysuckle give a balmy quality that is very subtle.I don't get rosemary which for me is a blessing,nor do I get the mandarin or orchid. You are left with very soft florals,gentle musk and warm woody notes. Quite pleasant,but a shame that some of the notes are virtually undetectable. I would recommend for day or evening,winter or fall,moderate sillage and longevity.
I have to say I much prefer Serpentine,as it is a lot more intense than Cavalli for Women.
beautiful scent in a beautiful bottle at a cheap price! it's floral but a tiny bit spicy and edgy. not a sweet one at all. smells kind of mature and sophisticated. lasts pretty long too, about 5-6 hours on me.
Beautiful fragrance that I just happened across! I loved the bottle, so unique! Everyone loves this perfume when I wear it!
Floral and sweet and I have finished the bottle! It was a good everyday perfume. It didn't
announce you as you walked in the room yet it alway made me smile when I put it on because it was just that little bit different. The bottle cap was of a snake and it was made of plastic but I used to love it. It had quite a few notes in it and although mainly floral with freesia, orchid and bergamot it had an oriental twist. Ah happy memories.
Am I the only one who detects a huge resemblance with YSL Elle?
On my skin it is a very spicy oriental scent. Not excactly what I was expecting from the notes listed here...
This is a very unique and sensual perfume. It is strong too with a long longevity! It is very special, so if you use this perfume pe prepared to ventilate that you are quite special too!
Like this one you can wear it the whole year round day and night.
There is some resemblance with the Oro but they are quite different perfumes. This one is less bold , but subtle. If your not a fan off bold perfumes you'll like this one.
It is quite nice and last a long time on my skin about 5 till 8 hours.
I don't know if it is still in production but you can find them quit cheap on the internet stores.
I love the Rosemary in this,but I find this a very light fragrance that for me stays close to the skin. I prefer my fragrances to project a bit more. Too bad it's not amped up a little more, because the composition is really pretty.
What a beauty!
I have a vegan (non animal musk) imitation of this perfume. That musk photo is so sad up there.
This is very green. I feel it is more of the cyphre variety. I love it! It is grassy smelling,fresh green green grass. I think this is from the patchouli and the rosemary combining in harmony. I feel like I can smell that smell of freshly mowed lawn grass. It is very unique,this little gem.
I do smell tinges of sweet,yet spicy apples,(soft spice)and slight floral notes.
I am blending this today with a nutty,smoky vanilla oil that I have,and they blend beautifully.
Wore this 5-6 years ago in my teens and still LOVE IT! †his has so many positive memories for me.
Very sweet, a bt herbal and bit boozy :-) Similar to Oro but a bit toned down. I still find it quite strong although it doesn't project much (stays rather close to the skin). Really wanted to like it but this is one of those blind buys that didn't work out for me. Not sure what exactly bothers me about it, maybe the rosemary? It is actually hard for me to distinguish the notes here. They all kind of blend into one sweet/spicy and very distinctive smell. It is not something you've smelled before for sure (perhaps with the exception of Oro).
Thank you very much for your detailled review Mizz!
@Action: no they don t have something in common actually. they smell all different. but i m wearing actually a combination of versace woman and this one, Cavalli woman... and it smells good ;D
well, i'm gonna review this one...
i like this perfume very mutch for spring and summer, while versace woman is very likeable too, but way tooo sickening sweet and powdery, this one isn't powdery at all, so the mix is a quite good one.
Cavalli woman is fruity-flowery, fresh, crisp, bittersweet, soft and tender and it's juicy, not sickening or sticky.
it starts with a burst of freshness and juicyiness very promising, the heart evokes with a really nice freesia and a very pink orchid, sooo sweet but natural smell (bittersweet) with honeynotes and the rosemary (at least i guess it is this one) gives it a quite unusual an intriguing untertone which one puzzles me everytime when i wear it. drydown is soft woody-earthy but the heady flower mix and the juicyness of the top are shining through from top to bottom. the amber and patchouli is not really detectable for my nose in this.
staying power is very good, sillage fantastic.
For ladies knowing this one, is it in the same line as Versace Women and Lapidus Women? They really resemble in concept and perfume category so it seems..
Hi.
ROBERTO CAVALI is a True ROMANTIC Perfume.A Delicate,Light Floral scent that whispers tenderly on the Skin. It has Such a Clean and Soft Scent That Everybody can wear it. In other Words Modern,Young,Exotic,Enjoyable,Sweet, Soothing,Fragrant and Italian Style.

It is more of a Everyday Scent. One of those Perfumes that You can wear Either Day or Night. In my opinion It is Great for a Romantic Evening in Springtime. It makes You Feel Pampered and Beautiful. I Recommend this one to a Debonair Character and Everybody that is Looking for a lightly floral fragrance with a hint of fruityness. It is Ideal for Wedding Too.
Sillage?Decent.

7/10
i used half of my 75mls bottle on winter 2008... then came summer and i looked for new scents...and my mom now uses it on winter days... i just forget about this...but every time my mom uses it, she passes by me and i feel delighted...
The sweetness is offset a bit by the rosemary, which is very faint to me. But the dry down is very sweet, although not cloyingly sweet. I'd say it's about as sweet as a fragrance could get without becoming sickening. It's a nice scent, but not one I could wear everyday. Stays fairly close to the skin, only light sillage so it would be ok for the office. It's ok but I am still looking for my perfect summer scent.
This reminds me of those ufo shaped round two toned candies you used to be able to buy on a stick like a tootsie pop, "Smarties double lollies suckers", do you remember those? That's what I think of when I put this on. Dry down is a bit different but basically the same, just softer, two toned candy from the past.
I enjoy the trip down memory lane and it makes me crave one of those darn suckers, I'm just not sure I want to wear it. Especially since it makes me want to eat sugar. Sigh.
BTW the bottle sort of matches that ufo candy image too doesn't it?
For me its smells like a nice chokolate, i was so desapointed when I found that there is't nothing like choko... I love this fragrant,is so sweat but in the best way, pleasant for wearing,elegant.
Very soft smell.
Scent doesn't last long,feel like I need to re apply after a few hours.
yes, i agree it´s not very long lasting, 4 or 5 hours on me...so i spritz it on my clothes :)
This one is my very good friend favorite. Very plesant, sweet and ...innocent. Don't stay long, but still its good to wear in public - light and not giving headache.
this is the perfect one, the one i´ve looking for for years and then i found!! floral, elegant, for refined woman.not for teenagers. magnolia patchouli and honeysuckle, fresher than oro but still full of style...i´m in love with it...
Exotic! It smells like a fruitier, lighter and summeresque version of Oro. This is definitely a different kind of fruity floral. I thought that the light pink color of the bottle would determine it as a generic fragrance, but it isn't. Very unique, nice. But I wouldn't wear it myself, Oro is more my tastes since it is heavier. I can smell the magnolia the most and then some honeysuckle with some patchouli on the dry down. I would recommend giving it a try if you want a new perfume for the summer that will make you stand out from everyone else :)
