Description
Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli presents his new masculine fragrance in mid-2016 simply called Roberto Cavalli Uomo. Announced as an exclusive oriental – aromatic, the new fragrance is designed for men who are sophisticated, confident and naturally seductive.
The composition opens with a distinctive note of black violet. Its cool character comes in contrast with warm and sexy saffron. The intensive heart of honey with lavender essence provides depth and volume. The hypnotic base of cedar ends the composition.
It is available in an elegant, square black bottle with the Roberto Cavalli emblem and gold lettering as a 60 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. The nose behind this fragrance is Christophe Raynaud.

I’m falling in love more and more with the saffron that is divine in this fragrance! I have found the violet-honey agreement GENIALE! In short: From the beginning to the dry-down this fragrance is something beautiful.
PARTICULAR!
zyaba – :
Affordable, nice bottle. Great sprayer. For what I paid, we’re in the green so far.
The note breakdown is what you would expect. Violet blast right off the top with a bit of spice from the saffron. Anything violet to me is SUPER violet so I mostly get that at the opening. The violet sticks but it becomes more sweet in the middle, honey isn’t distinguishable but I imagine that’s what makes it so sweet. The lavender, again, is not distinguishable but gives it a powdery feel. The ISO-E/cedar peaks through in the drydown, some tonka keeping it in a sweetish kinda range. I do not smell the patch. Very nice floral for men, doesn’t smell feminine to my nose but not uber-masculine either. Again, like anything violet, it’s the dominant force. It smells a tad synthetic, possibly due to the fact that some notes aren’t really well defined. Still, I like it.
Sillage was great for about 2 hours, longevity around 8. Well above expectations for a scent of this quality and price. I’m gonna say cooler weather, date night, night out. Not a summer frag for the office, for sure. All ages. I could see this being a compliment getter. All in all, if you like violet, this is pretty good.

I really really like it but… i can’t find that strong long lasting and sillage..sadly. it’s really moderate… maybe reformulated?
djstyleproject – :
Really nice and yes, amazingly good! I tested this one in the store after going through a range of top line fragrances, including Polo Red Extreme, SpiceBomb and Armani Eau de Nuit Oud – which are all great fragrances in themselves. This one was recommended by another staff member, and I compared the ‘old’ one with the ‘newer one’ – the newer one was in the same bottle (but I think it was to represent the silver version – this was confusing to me). So, after trying one on each arm, it seemed that the ‘old’ one, which I interpret to be this one, was stronger in performance and that really appealed to me. It is a very acceptable and a pleasing scent – refined and distinguished, rich, manly spicy and floral – very well balanced. If you wear this, it shows your gentlemanly taste in perfume fragrances, unswayed by the mass market hype. Purchased. Will update.
SHORT UPDATE – Verified nice! Tested again in the store – the Silver Essence version seemed a little bit weaker to me (but not according to my 6 year-old daughter). I think the Silver Essence has a sweeter Tonka bean in the dry down – the normal one is less sweet and seems to remain longer on the dry down with this sweetness – I like both. They both have a great violet stage which I feel continues to ride through the mid-notes, lavender seems less dominant which I really like.
The guy who created this fragrance is Christophe Raynaud – has an impressive list of creations (Issey Mikaye Pour Homme flankers, Joop WOW!, Paco Rabanne 1 Million range, and Harajuku Lovers flankers, among others) – so, he has what it takes to create an excellent fragrance.
gozord – :
I love it. Smells alot like Paco rabanne million dollar prive
evgaleksejj – :
I got this in a fragrance subscription and it is the most amazing fragrance in the floral style I’ve tried. I love it!
I can’t believe that it’s price point is also very affordable. I can’t wait to go and buy a bottle.
CrazyCramar – :
Honestly speaking I got this as a gift from my ex-lover and I never loved it, too strong almost gives me headaches everytime I use it. BUT! – the longevity and its penetrating power is exceptional.
It’s too strong for my likings, Whenever I buy new perfumes I try to avoid getting similar perfumes
sergio2704 – :
WOW…
I’ve gone crazy. Best floral fragrance i’ve ever seen. I fall in love with violet although it doesn’t smell good individually but you can find something worthy in it as he could.
I just can swear “IT IS THE BEST”.
Thanks Emyalda for her suggestion.
totoshka – :
highly appreciated by the ladies
ahiless – :
I can’t quite explain it, but the opening of this one is to me almost a dead ringer for Mont Blanc Presence — this in spite of an almost complete absence of notes in common.
Having said that, RC Uomo is a bit sweeter and possesses a slight cedar/ISO-e edge that Presence doesn’t — which stands in for Presence’s slightly bitter sage/cardamom note, rather brightening “Uomo” up. And while it certainly opens on the sweet side, I think the sweet aspect thankfully falls well short of such mainstream, cavity-inducing cloy-fests as Invictus or 1 Million and countless others. But it’s still weirdly sweet with a strange herbal bitterness up front that I find a bit off-putting.
After a while, I notice a wisp of patchouli sneak out, adding a woodsy richness to the heart of this scent, bringing it to a more balanced if not totally new and groundbreaking place. The dry down is much more pleasant than the harsh top notes, but I’m not sure it’s enough for me to like here.

Честэрфилд – :
this one is amazing
sexy, feels nice to wear, girls love it
problem is that it is not ‘strong’… would have liked more projection+longevity…
but REALLY nice smell… delicious…
to me it feels like the kind a guy would wear when you already have the girl you want.. and just want to smell good when you are at a gathering she couldn’t attend.. this cologne makes everyone in the room feel good to be around you… still makes you attractive but not the ‘oozing with sex appeal’ way that something like Kilian’s Back to Black would make you
ayogalkdu – :
Paid $17.99 for a 60ml at Shopper’s Drug Mart. Never had a chance to smell it before anywhere, and it was cheap, so why not? Cheap indeed. Don’t let the ballin’-brands fool you…this shows it’s Coty-true colors…excess ISO’ey feeling, slight headache and wooziness. It does remind me of something I’ve smelled before…maybe close-ish to Davidoff’s ‘The Game’. Dunno if I hate or like this, but definitely don’t love it, lol. You DON’T need this, or want it! Meanwhile, saw the same 60ml of this stuff on Amazon for $220.00! :O Crazy rip-off.
Drusha1979 – :
Yes it’s a bit generic. For those that don’t know, violet especially when combined with sweet notes resembles the iris found in DHI/ Valentino uomo etc.
But in this case I find the combination of violet and sweet notes to be a friendlier, more accessible than iris heavy frags that I’m not particularly keen on. Good sillage, quite metrosexual, dense floral smell, nice bottle, very cheap.
It does not have me running back to the store to buy it but if these combinations of notes appeal to you or you are keen on something of the sort it is a Best In Class for me. As it goes on the wood and tonka bean give me a Midnight In Paris flashback.
Winner
Teroevavody – :
I love violet but i do not detect any in this one. Actually you can barely mark or detect any particular note in this one. Its trying to get on the current bandwagon of those countless heavy and sweet Nuits, Extremes or Intenses but just like the rest of that pack, this one becomes cloying and heavy after a while too. No particular character to speak of either.
Evirtyvat – :
scent : 9/10
sillage : 8/10
longevity :8/10
100% night fragrance
nice powdery,leather&smoky scent
a mix between 212 vip and BVL black
дракончик – :
I have got a sample and the few time i put just one whiff on my neck i get compliments, unbelievable!
Very good, pleasent and easy to wear not offending and suitable for all occasions. Plus it lasts forever (with just one whiff). A masterpiece.

@Bigsly
I haven’t smelt KH but based on descriptions in other reviews, i would say no. Cavalli on another level also..higher and better quality
daff07 – :
This is an interesting one that grew on me. Didn’t like (or hate) it at first, but it made me think , ‘Meh, so what exactly does this supposed to smell like?’. On my 2nd sampling of this on a clean palate, this is darker green/powdery…just like the bottle. I must say it’s pretty good and i see the hype..it’s nice. What i like also is the depth of this mixture; smells something like what Joop would release in terms of sillage/concentration. So it’s done right:)
I also notice this reminds me of what could be a darker version of CH Central Park, due to the green notes.
8/10
anarnileacibe – :
I LOVE this fragrance! It’s like a violet flower hiding under a dark masculine cover… which makes it mysterious and with a slight vulnerable side, yet very outwardly masculine.
It is quite a simple fragrance as there are not many notes but the interplay is done perfectly for the desired outcome.. which for me is as I described above, extremely masculine yet mysterious.
I usually do not like floral fragrances but this one really stands out to me.
Projection is great and longevity is pretty good too.
ajm573Bessinepome – :
It is a beast.
Smell is very good.
Scent: 9/10

Over all rating 9/10.
vfi073intitytek – :
Where is Oud? Its smells like sweet oud. Nothing special.
sinumeric – :
THIS IS AMAZING, tom ford quality
dont blind buy it, test it first you might not like it
I love it
Mania – :
I was at the office, I went to change my clothes and my colleagues were waiting for me to go home togheter. I sprayed myself with Cavalli Uomo. They talked among themselves and when I came out, I passed them and all fell silent, I can imagine how all were sniffing my scent. In my opinion, THAT’S THE BEST COMPLIMENT! (to stop all people around you from doing what they do and smell your scent).
This is one of my most complimented fragrances when I wear it. The women seem to really love it!
Troy47rus – :
I seem to find this one very enjoyable and long lasting. And it seems after reading the reviews, I have the same batch number as the reviewer below me, Lockon. Is this possible? My batch number is also 6223. Any insight on that?
andrej323 – :
Hmm, There’s some dislikes I see.
So disregard the fragrance snobs…
Everyone’s nose is different. I get that…
But if all you have to say is hateful things about this gem…The exit is on your left.
Now that’s out the way, let me add my two cents in this.
This is an amazingly simple, but manly fragrance.
If you love a dark smoky, gourmand-ish fragrance.
Brother this scent is for you.
It’s simply delicious and enters BEAST MODE (It projects, it last long and the sillage isn’t a joke) YES!
Man, I believe I found a new favorite to add to my shelf.
Maybe strong enough to knock out my signature scent, Joop! Pour Homme.
I gotta give it another week, To see if it’s worth the coup d’etat of Joop!.
I’ve received great comments thus far about this fragrance and I’ve only had it for one day.
Not a bad look.
I have to pick up back up bottles of this before others jump on the hype train. It gets discounted, reformulations, you know the story. I can’t find in any, big-name retail stores…Outside of Roberto Cavalli Boutique & online discount fragrance stores.
It came out mid-2016 and no one broadcasted this?
Yeah…I guess.
But this will be a daily driver from now on.
This is worth a blind buy my friends, at least a decant.
And if you for some reason don’t like it…Please hit me up and I’ll take it off your hands. You can resell it and easily make your money back on eBay, Amazon. Letgo, Craiglist’s, etc…
I used nine sprays…both wrist, behind my ears, back & front of my neck, chest, front and back of my shirt.
Will I buy this again?…Hell Yes!

bkwehxvayk – :
This is a remarkable oriental perfume, where saffron plays an important role. It’s powdery, floral, and a bit sweet, but truly and extensively masculine with the way wood and saffron are introduced. I find it creative and head turning.
nap3 – :
Nice scent. My opinion: a masculin version of TF Black Orchid
Droxers – :
This is an interesting concoction by Cavalli, a brand for which I had no interest until now. This one caught my attention with its soft floral flare which reminds me of baby products but hides underneath it a much more serious, perhaps even old fashioned base, slightly reminiscent of Kouros. I definitely detect an animalic note hiding in its heart, perhaps that alleged “honey”? It comes through as slightly sweaty, not in a bad way, just enough to make this pleasantly naughty 😉
Not terribly innovative or complex. Lasts well but with discreet projection. Good for springtime
mango375 – :
It is a very long lasting perfume, just don’t judge once you spray it. you will feel it is a bit strong , definitely! just wait a little, one hour and it will decay a bit, spreading a stunning odor. Its flowery but elegant. It does not hurt your nose. you may feel it is familiar, but I think its like bringing some known odors mixed beautifully with some secret one, or at least mixing them in a well thought proportions.
PIRAT86 – :
İlk 2-3 dakikası için alacaksanız sorun yok. Oldukça keyifli çünkü. Ancak sonra elinizde oldukça vasat bir parfümle baş başa kalıyorsunuz. Menekşe notasını çok başarılı kullanan birkaç parfüm denemiştim. Ancak bizim Roberto bunu da başarabilmiş değil. Kalıcılık vb. fena değil ama böylesi bir kokunun kalıcı olmasını zaten kimse istemez. Bu kokunun çok benzerini Zara ‘dan 30 tl ye alabilirsiniz. Zara 7.0 adı altında gri mat bir şişe. Benzer diyorum ama sanırım menekşe konusunda Zara daha başarılı. Kısacası gereksiz, anlamsız ve “vasat” kavramına yeni bir katkı yapan parfümden başka bir şey yok karşımızda.
slavik2 – :
Wore this today for the first time
this winter and i must admit i love
the smell, this is a very underrated
one, there are so many worse releases
in 2016 imo, i even like this better than
Armani code prufomo. Dont let the bad reviews
scare you try it yourself you might like it as well.
zxcasd1000 – :
I tried it and i must say its not a bad perfume at all. Infact its pretty long lasting with strong leather, honey notes.
That said its a out and out winter scent so in my opinion not bad at all. It gives a pretty sophisticated vibe about you.
Deses – :
I got this as a present. In my opinion, it’s not a masterpiece or anything like that. I’d say it’s a decent perfume. BUT, this, believe me or not, is one of the best compliment-getters for me. I couldn’t believe it either, but there it is, both from women and men. Women love it. I’d say that it has the slightly opening note of One Million, which I’m not a fan of.
Smell: 6.5/10
Projection: 9.5/10
Longevity: 10/10
VedeUnsendy – :
The top notes are a disagreeable shrieky peppery leather but 15 minutes later it becomes much more palatable. This smells like a mix of Diesel Bad and Burberry Brit Rhythm. It’s perfectly nice but yes it does smell current/generic. Despite that, I like it.
glalfumma – :
When I smell perfumes like this one I wonder if contemporary market only targets at under 25. Who, above that age, would ever wear this? And who would outside of a club?
Fashion brands should really reconsider their potential buyers. If I were a teenager I’d rather buy Nike perfumes, MTV perfumes and save my money.
No need to spend words about the scent itself : heavy, sweet, long-lasting, identical to a hundred other branded bottles out there.
lenanal – :
I have no clue how on earth these beautifully constructed notes above had managed to craft such an aweful disgusting scent!! Need an expert explanation please.
drasha – :
This is a youthful club scent, a bubblegum smell similar to 1 Millon by PR. Nothing special, very nice present for a teenager. Nice, strong but if you already have 1Million or Eros or Salvatore Uomo.. etc doesn’t worth buying it.
max654321 – :
I had such high hopes about this perfume that were partly dashed. It is not a bad smell, but I was expecting a floral brighter and instead is rather dark, but not the nice one dark, is a sweet dark. great performance. at the beginning it is not clear in which direction to go, then it seems to go in the direction armani code perfume with a touch of flowers and in the end, however, it remains a dark sweet little floral. I had such high hopes on this, and in part have been dashed. sometimes it reminds me of my hated bvlgari black. generic rating 6/10. very generic.
kns686elipseskism – :
I was very surprised by this fragrance I was given a card with it sprayed on as I walked through a department store. I put it in my pocket and forgot about it. Later I kept wondering what this delicious smell was . When I eventually found it I was amazed . Where as I am happy to wear unisex fragrances I am usually not a fan of male fragrances but if my man smelled like this I would be very happy indeed. I do not consider it to be a feminine scent . It is powdery and has a certain warmth but it is definitely masculine .And yummy .
Лорд – :
Floral, aromatic, fresh. Pleasant surprise from Cavalli.
neo12rus – :
Unlike any mens fragrance I’ve smelt yet
Aromatic, sweet and woody but not in an over-the-top way. Like i found with dunhill.
And i didn’t find it feminine at all.
The florals in this are not light or powdery, but dark and damp.
A really interesting and different scent, i like it.
Edit: On the skin, there is an apparent leather note.
dron_73rus – :
I tested this at a retailer today (August 10th 2016) and I wanted to add a possitive review.
This is a pleasant and easy to wear entry from Cavalli.
The originality factor isn’t very high as I’ve smelled similar fragrances multiple times in the past.
That being said if you like the house of Roberto Cavalli and want to have a masculine staple from the house this is not a bad start.
Roberto Cavalli Gold for Him was a very weak release in my opinion (Gold for Her is wonderful though) and this goes a long way to rectify this situation.
mvm – :
Didnt like it. The first floral notes are way to strong and they gave me a feminine vibrations for the next 12+ hours. A monotonous perfume IMHO.
Longevity is very good (12 hours+) and the same with projection.
