Oro

by Maurice Roucel

Roberto Cavalli Oro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Maurice Roucel. The fragrance opens with Iris, Apple, Magnolia, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Freesia, Apricot, Patchouli, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Musk, and Amber.

Our verdict on Oro: Acquired

Cavalli Oro is a wildly divisive fragrance. Folks either adore its warm, spicy embrace, finding it exotic and seductive, or they recoil from its intense, sometimes "medicinal" opening. This isn't a safe blind buy, but if you love bold orientals, it might just be your next obsession.

About

Oro opens with a bold, almost boozy blast of apricot and pepper, balanced by fresh iris and green coriander. As it settles, warm spices like cinnamon and cedar mingle with a soft, powdery heart of freesia, revealing a captivating blend. The dry-down is rich and luxurious, with vanilla, amber, and deep sandalwood creating a long-lasting, alluring trail that can feel both modern and classically oriental.
