Roberto Cavalli Unveils Serpentine Noir Parfum

Roberto Cavalli has revealled the house’s new Serpentine Noir Parfum, the second fragrance in its Serpentine collection.

Created to reflect the Italian House’s signature approach to glamour and sensuality, the new fragrance extends the Roberto Cavalli universe beyond fashion, drawing on the same themes of confidence, individuality and bold femininity explored in the latest runway collection.

First revealled during the maison’s show, ‘House of Prints: The Muses’ in Los Angeles, alongside the Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Creative director Fausto Puglisi reinterpret the brand’s archives through the lens of the Californian city. Exploring the contrasts between glamour and spontaneity, excess and freedom, the collection combined signature prints, reconstructed denim, fluid silhouettes and body-conscious shapes. The result celebrated self-expression and an instinctive approach to personal style.

Serpentine Noir Parfum was introduced throughout the show experience, accompanying guests from backstage preparations to the runway presentation. Described as a darker interpretation of the Serpentine fragrance signature, the new scent belongs to the woody leather ambery family.

Cardamom provides a warm, spiced opening, complemented by crisp apple and raspberry. The heart combines violet petals with saffron and patchouli, while leather, smoky oud and amber form the base, giving the composition a deeper, more intense character.

“This creation captures the Cavalli woman through a vibrant fusion of juicy raspberry, bold leather, and hypnotic saffron, an olfactive expression of her spirit, wild elegance, and unmistakable allure,” says Gael Montero, perfumer at Givaudan.

The fragrance’s packaging draws on one of the House’s recognisable motifs. The 100ml bottle features a removable bronze serpent bracelet encircling the sleek black flacon, designed to function as a wearable accessory. The 50ml and 30ml versions feature sculptural bronze serpent detailing coiling around the glass, referencing the symbolism of temptation and confidence associated with the collection.

Serpentine Noir Parfum is available in 100ml, 50ml and 30ml sizes through selected retailers. Its launch marks a further development of Roberto Cavalli’s fragrance offering, bringing the brand’s distinctive visual codes and sensual aesthetic into a new olfactory creation.
