Roberto Cavalli Uomo Silver Essence, from Roberto Cavalli was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Christophe Raynaud. It has the top notes of Cardamom, Ginger, and Violet Leaf, middle notes of Geranium, Lavender, and Orris Root, and base notes of Oakmoss, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
Crude and a little clunky but not without merit and in fairness this combination of notes has not been overly done. The opening is a very unusual, synthetic fruity, sweet candies vibe but with a herbal, slightly cerebral lavender. The drydown to me is a transformation into more of a woody, powdered smell without knowing the notes I said, sandalwood, ginger, iris and an unmistakable note of violet. Well I was pretty spot on, I also get a kind of crayon and pencil shavings base which could even be described as a touch leathery or some Tonka or something? Sounds confused and like the sort of stuff I’d usually critique hard, but hey I’m going easy on this because it was pleasantly surprising. The opening was pretty unique smelling but I’m not sure whether I could say I enjoyed it or not? It was a bit loud and slightly tacky. The settled scent actually showed me a little nuance and revealed other notes, it’s okay but I probably wouldn’t wear it again.
