Roberto Verino RV Pure Woman ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 25 April 2013 7 Comments

Roberto Verino RV Pure Woman

Roberto Verino will launch RV Pure Woman, the feminine counterpart to 2011's RV Pure Man, in June.

RV Pure Woman is a green floral developed by perfumer Domitille Bertier. The notes feature pink pepper, galbanum, violet leaves, Damascene Rose, mimosa, water lily, musk, cedar and moss.

Roberto Verino RV Pure Woman is available in 120 ml Eau de Toilette; I will update if I can find out about smaller sizes.

    Oh wow…this is one where the nuances of culture matter…does Roberto know that RV in the U.S. stands for Recreational Vehicle? This is not an activity associated with high-end fragrances. The RV crowd is more of an Old Spice/Jean Nate group…

    This reminds me of when GM could not figure out why their Chevy Nova would not sell in South America. In Spanish, “No va” (two words) means “it doesn’t go.” Who would buy a car called the “it doesn’t go?”

      Seems highly unlikely that the US makes up any substantial percentage of their sales, so probably doesn’t matter 🙂

      That is actually an urban legend:

        It is one of the more enduring ones, too — I think I’ve linked to that snopes account several times just here on NST, where you would not think it would come up that often.

    This looks a lot like the Pure DKNY line. It’s a simple enough design, not like the Nina Ricci apple, but I wonder if DKNY will have an issue with this?

      Oh, I doubt it — they were hardly the first to use that shape either.

    My bad then…I lived in South America and it didn’t suprise me when I heard it…but I should have checked the source.
