From your scent profile
Roberto Cavalli Serpentine opens with mandarin orange, mango blossom and tarragon, and carries violet and tiaré at its heart: a sweet, fruity floral for women that has been discontinued.

What does Serpentine (2005) smell like?
The mandarin's freshness softens into mango blossom and tarragon at first. In the heart, violet, tiaré and frangipani bring out the floral side, while black pepper adds a touch of spice. As it dries, amber, sandalwood and tolu balm pull it toward a woody, resinous, oriental sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most voted settings. More than half of voters find it feminine.
