Oud Edition, Roberto Cavalli

Oud Edition, Roberto Cavalli

Oud Edition, Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli’s newest fragrance, Oud Edition, is rather assertive, playing on a masculine-feminine sensuality, with a dose of mysticism brought by the incense. The person who wears it is confident and unafraid to be noticed— true to the brand’s unabashedly flamboyant style the fragrance is packaged in a velvet-lined box housing a softly curved gold bottle crowned with a tiara in the shape of the designer’s logo.

Uomo Intense, Valentino

The new Valentino Uomo is a more intense and masculine version of the fragrance launched two years ago. The composition is suave leathery, deep and bright; a typical Italian fragrance style, meant to recall a young Italian artistocrat. Its top notes contain clary sage oil and fresh mandarin. The heart notes include the elegance of iris absolute and tonka bean, laid on a base of black leather and vanilla bean.
