Florence

by Marie Salamagne

Roberto Cavalli Florence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Marie Salamagne. The fragrance opens with Blackcurrant and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Hibiscus, and Grapefruit Blossom, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, and Amber.

Our verdict on Florence: Acquired

Florence is a divisive powerhouse. Its boisterous blackcurrant and patchouli combo means you'll either adore its bold, sensual sillage or find it overwhelmingly synthetic and a bit 'old lady'. Definitely not a Wallflower's fragrance.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear sillage and exceptional longevity, Florence isn't suited for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It excels in date night and formal settings, where its rich, confident aroma can truly shine, but it's too much for casual or sportwear.

About

Florence opens with a juicy, tart burst of blackcurrant and mandarin, immediately making a statement. This gives way to a white floral heart of orange blossom and hibiscus, adding a touch of heady sweetness. The real character emerges in the dry-down, however, where a prominent, earthy patchouli blends with warm amber and a soft musk, creating a deep, resonant base that lingers for ages.
