Serpentine (for women)

Designer: Roberto Cavalli Olfactive Group: Oriental Floral
Video

Serpent, the signature symbol of Roberto Cavalli, is feminine, sensual and dangerously charming. The composition is built around mango blossom known in Hindu legends as the food of Gods. According to a Brazilian legend, snakes eat mango blossom. This floral-oriental composition opens with sweet mandarin notes and mango blossom. The heart introduces exotic Tiare flower and rich scent of Frangipani blossom, refined by violets and black pepper. The oriental base is built on harmony of Tolu balsam, sandalwood and amber. The fragrance was created by Jacques Cavallier of Firmenich in 2005.

The bottle is just so beautiful. I really like the juice inside too, but that's all; I like it. Don't love it. It flowery and sweet with a hint of pepper. Really nice and i wouldn't mind having it.

i wanted to buy this fragrance at a moment, the dry down is very similar to cinema which i like but unfortunately doens t last on my skin,it s very weak. . starts very citrusy-spicy which is interesting to me and then remains a sweet delightfull smell.it s not an unique fragrance but very popular and pleasant,plus the bottle and the packaging are awsome.too bad it doens t last on my skin coz i would have liked to have it.

Just got a sample and i really like it. Its sweet and peppery, comforting and nice. I love the bottle and want it but since money is tight and im on the search for THE perfect scent it will have to wait. This is not the one for me. Even though its good enough to eat

nice bottle and nice name that matches exactly the perfume inside.I really get the pepper here.in fact it's a bit like "visit" by azzaro,but this one sweeter.
I also get the mandarin orange(I thought it's tangerine,but anyway it's the fruity scent of the fragrance)
most of the times I don't admire pepper in perfumes but it's well mixed in this fragrance.there are just floral sweetness and a delicate hint of pepper.
snakes are strange animals.they are known for being hypnotic.there are so many legends about them.know that I'm smelling this perfume on my wrist I realize this is a good perfume with the right name.
I'm so eager to find and try the silver one.
not old-fashioned nor repetitive,just a new experience for snake ladies!

I really wanted to like this fragrance... Its notes are lovely but they didn't match my skin at all, especially the sandalwood and the tolu balsam. Extremely strong, lasts all day long on me but unfortunately brings me a bad headache. The bottle is divine and seductive but not the fragrance itself. I'm really dissapointed.

Extraordinary perfume! I can’t understand all the bad reviews. It’s a very sexy and powerful fragrance. I was initially attracted by the bottle and I wasn’t disappointed when I tried this one on my skin. It’s the perfect summer fragrance, when you want to attract the attention of all men ;) reminds me a bit of Sensi from Giorgio Armani…

Serpents on bottle and the name... so attractive for me. But reviews it got isn't showing this perfume in it's light. Well out of bottle it smells like perfume. Just perfume, you know. It seems very classic scent. But when applied it to my skin it was heavy, oriental beautiful and with faint notes of fresh fruit or sweet flower just like lace. I really love the way this perfume is spicy and sexy, really mature. Then through spicy oriental composition you can feel sweet tiare flower rising. Capturing dry-down of my favorite sandalwood and something else interesting that I never met in perfumes I tried on me before. Nice blend of kinda sweet notes with peppery oriental notes.

It’s a sexy perfume, but it’s different kind of “sexy” that is in advertising. I think this perfume isn’t popular, because of very unsuccessful advertising campaign. Concept is opposite to scent itself. People, who would like this perfume, wouldn’t try perfume from this kind of bottle, and people, who would like the bottle, would feel disappointed about the scent.

Feminine and strong floral(but not sickening), it lasts and lasts. It is kinda fruity at the opening, but later on it turns very familiarity floral and stays that way for a long time.
I would say it is for confident but very feminine ladies, no mater what age.

tried it few weeks ago, and it didn't catch my attention. generic smell not something I would like to have
01/05/09 10:44:08
It smelled lovely on paper, but on my skin it was very annoying..It almost made me sick.
01/05/09 10:15:10
I agree, this one is so generic in contrast to ORO. Plain Jane, indeed. Reminded me YSL Cinema...
01/05/09 09:43:40
 
oh i´m prone to buy it unsniffied too, but i´m kind afraid... would someone compare its smell with another parfum? does it reminds hot couture? is it a modern smell or not? i have oro and i like it, but i was looking for something easier to wear...

Lovely at first but too sweet. I got tired really quickly. I got the feeling i was smelling someting sugary like coton candy. Not for me-
10/23/08 09:36:41
Special fragrance with fresh opening and then becames floral and semi-sweet. I like it, not an "everyday-perfume".
10/22/08 14:46:20
Got my bottle, and I am disappointed. The bottle is so beautiful, the advertising is passionate and goddess-like, sexy, and exotic but unfortunately the fragrance itself is not. Very misleading. It is too subtle and generic. I agree with Maki that Oro is way better. I love Oro, so if you love Oro you will probably hate Serpentine. At first I get a bunch of florals and a bit of sandalwood, and on the dry down I get something fruity with black pepper and amber. It's light and plain. Wasn't expecting this from Cavalli. I gave this to my mom, she likes it :)

uhhmm..considering that this is Cavalli, I can say..NOTHING SPECIAL.
"ORO" is so much better and stronger..for ppl with strong personality.

Just bought this unsniffed, can't wait to see my reaction to it! I will, of course, write a review on it as soon as I try it.
05/12/08 18:14:15
This is one of the rare fragrances that make my stomach turn! Sorry, Cavalli, but I would rather skip this one!
09/22/07 12:15:54
I love this one. I purchased it because I loved the bottle and I was lucky, the fragrance is just as intriguing. It is now one of my favorite fragrances. Sweet flowery with peppery tones. Mmmmm!
