by Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli Deep Desire is a gourmand fragrance with a strikingly sweet and juicy character, dominated by a rich, syrupy cherry note that many describe as reminiscent of maraschino cherries or cherry syrup in snowcones. It opens with a sharp, slightly bitter burst that quickly softens into a warm embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, and cacao, creating a deep yet not overly dark sweetness. White florals like jasmine and orange blossom add a subtle floral lift, while a hint of patchouli and pink pepper contributes complexity and depth. The scent evolves into a full-bodied, warmly decadent aura that lingers on skin and clothing with moderate to strong sillage and impressive longevity, especially on fabric. It feels intensely feminine, seductive, and boudoir-like—an olfactory indulgence that many compare to confectionery or sweetened leather. This is not a subtle or light scent. It is bold, memorable, and confidently unapologetic in its sweetness. It performs best in colder months and evening wear, enhancing romantic or intimate settings. While not all users detect prominent cacao or patchouli, the sweet cherry-vanilla-cocoa core unifies the olfactory journey. The fragrance stands out as a powerful, long-lasting gourmand with a personal, intimate presence suitable for those who enjoy perfumes that feel lavish, addictive, and slightly naughty.
