Roberto Cavalli Uomo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Christophe Raynaud. Uomo opens with Violet and Saffron, settles into a heart of Lavender and Honey, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Roberto Cavalli's Uomo carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a divisive gem. For some, it's a 'dank' intoxicating delight, while for others, its bold violet opening is an immediate turn-off. Love it or hate it, Cavalli Uomo smells way more expensive than it is a rare feat.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cavalli Uomo opens with a rich, almost powdery violet and a touch of spiced saffron, giving it an immediate intrigue. As it settles, a sweet, realistic honey emerges, beautifully blended with clean lavender, preventing it from becoming cloying. The base lands on an elegant, woody foundation of cedar and patchouli, underpinned by the smooth warmth of tonka bean, leaving a sophisticated trail that's both dark and inviting.
