Roberto Cavalli was an Italian fashion designer, born in 1940 in Florence into a family of artists. He studied textile printing at the Academy of Fine Arts and developed and patented his own technique for printing on leather, which brought him success in the early 1970s. The designer became synonymous with bold animal prints, patchwork and glamorous Italian style, and among his first admirers was Brigitte Bardot. Roberto Cavalli passed away in 2024.

The brand's first perfume, Roberto Cavalli for women, was launched in 2002. Cavalli fragrances are sensual, warm and expressive, just like his fashion. Among the most loved are Paradiso Assoluto, Nero Assoluto, Florence, Signature and Serpentine, as well as the men's Roberto Cavalli Uomo.

The youthful Just Cavalli line offers lighter, more playful scents such as Just Cavalli and Just Cavalli Him, and the brand's bottles often feature the iconic snake motif.
