The Marbleous Collection marks Roberto Cavalli’s latest chapter in high-end perfumery, presenting three distinct fragrances.
Roberto Cavalli expands its high-end fragrance universe with the launch of the Marbleous Collection, a new trio of eau de parfums that builds on the house’s established Gold Collection. Conceived from the idea of transformation, the Marbleous line reflects a shift from the opulent animalier codes the brand is known for towards a refined interpretation of marble, a material long associated with strength, permanence and artistry.
Creative Director Fausto Puglisi succinctly describes the concept: “Marble is the new animalier.” This philosophy is reflected not only in the fragrances themselves, but also in their design. Each bottle references the Roberto Cavalli Marbleous fashion line, dressed in emerald green glass streaked with gold veining and finished with a gold label and heraldic cap that nods to the original Gold Collection.
The capsule comprises three unisex fragrances, each exploring a distinct olfactive direction. Marbleous Leather is a woody, floral, fruity composition built around Florentine leather. Opening with clementine, nectarine and blackberry, it moves into a heart of orris, magnolia, jasmine and incense, before settling into a rich base of leather, benzoin, patchouli, musk and tonka bean. Perfumer Gino Percontino cites the fashion heritage and the texture of fine Italian leather as his starting point.
Marbleous Rose offers an Oriental ambery interpretation of rose, opening with bergamot before revealing Rose de Mai and Damascus rose at its centre, anchored by cedarwood. Perfumer Laurent Le Guernec references Middle Eastern traditions of mixing botanicals into concentrated oils.
Completing the trio, Marbleous Vetiver is an Oriental woody spicy scent that balances freshness and depth. Ginger and bergamot introduce the fragrance, followed by smoky incense and a vetiver base. Perfumer Philippine Courtière used the Middle Eastern culture and Dubai’s blend of precision and lavishness as key influences.
