I find Cerruti 1881 for Men to be quite a versatile fragrance and, to me, it smells professional and businesslike. It's a safe scent that will be generally well-behaved and well-received, but it's not likely to Wow! anyone either. Another big selling point for this fragrance is that it's quite inexpensive. Edit: I think I didn't give this enough of a chance, and I even ended up selling my Boucheron bottle in the end. Boucheron is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but it's pretty solidly perfume-y. This is quite a similar vibe in the air, but it's slightly more casual, and much less heavy and strong. This is a clean brisk green soap. Recommend.

I hate to say this, and especially as the first review but I was disappointed with this release from Cerruti. It indeed features many aromatic notes. However, its predominantly citrus accords and deeply woody base render it a closer relative to the Woody Citrus sub-family. Head Notes The smell isn't awful and not 'Bad' as such but I had to vote dislike because I can't put up with this kind of release anymore. It opens with a very bold and powerful green fresh vibe, due to the juniper and cypress top notes a just bit tamed by lavender. Cerruti 1881 reminds me of my Dad and the 90's. He never wore this, but it has a fresh, bracing, soapy aftershave feel that reminds me of how the bathroom would smell when he was getting ready for the day.

Basically if you are expecting (like I was) a delivery of the notes listed here with the classy touch of the original Cerruti 1881 then prepare to be disappointed. Its beasty longevity is easily 14+ hours. You may over spray a bit - 4 sprays not more - for a bigger sillage. opens on my skin with a green,masculine,slightly resinous and citrusy lavender mingled with juniper. Cerruti is still launching flankers of this EDT. The last one I tried is 1881 Signature for man (2017), a fantastic leather fragrance that is selling quite well.

Just stop and think of the notion of age and scent for a second. Wearing a scent won't really make you look any older (or younger for that matter). If someone thought that you were wearing and older scent when you were actually young, think of the effect you're creating. They might think yoy're bit of an old soul. That's not such a bad thing in my books. I loved the comment someone made about this making a young guy classy and an old guy hip, and the one about this getting you fired made me smile... Sir, your zesty fougere is way too lively and noticeable get out of my office. That said it's actually really likeable. Unique, No, but given its bargain price it's a really good fresh out of the shower smell, with great longevity. During mid development,juniper becomes stronger with a nice touch of a bit calming bouquet of flowers with the tender trace of vetiver and pine. Cerruti 1881 is the flagship scent of the Italian fashion house, Cerruti, that was founded in 1967 by Nino Cerruti. After his father’s untimely death, he took over the business an moved its headquarters to Paris, the international capital of fashion.

Cerruti 1881 Pour Homme is the Paris-based Italian fashion house’s flagship fragrance. Released in 1990, it has endured with remarkable success and even prompted flanking releases of women’s and signature fragrances Every morning one would apply a generous amount and be off for 9 hours at the office. Good, mature competent cologne! Therefore, this is not designers trendy-fragrance for a metrosexual or a club guy. Also, It can be worn by nicely dressed younger man because it oozes with sex appeal, that's right. Cerruti is a scent of a stylish-real man, not an old man. I'm being hard on this because my expectations were high (not that high but hey) and it still didn't measure up.
