Cerruti 1881 Femme Eau De Toilette Spray For Women, 100 ml

Product Information

Fragrance that became a classic of this designer’s house was launched in 1995. Nino Cerruti, was known as "the youngest of the great classics," opened the first Cerruti boutique in Paris in 1967, on rue Royale. The new formula is not good enough for even as an air freshener! Try before you spend any money on it. This to me is a rather generic yet extremely calm and elegant scent. It smells like a really put-together feminine lady, smells like fresh laundry, and even like a cup of tea somehow. Calm is the association it evokes in my mind. It does not develop much and is, as I said, generic to my nose but that's exactly how I like it. It lasts pretty long and can usually be found pretty cheap. It was on sale and I hadn't smelled it since my late teens, when I used to wear it, feeling confident and careless... so I just grabbed a bottle.

I adore NICHE, expensive fragrances. I have spent my life searching for that one, unique scent that transcends all others. Its hard for me to pull out the various notes, its so well blended that they all mesh together and become this gorgeous, powdery, herbal musk, it reminds me of when you step out of a cool shower on a warm morning, slip on a fresh cotton t-shirt, have a cup of herbal tea or coffee and you leave to go on a walk through a wild flower meadow, I will say though, that during intense summer heat, 1881 does become heavy and cloying, even with light application, but during cooler summer days and, actually, year round 1881 is perfect, its very much a "my best friend" type of scent. If the original 90210 was set in Miami not Beverly Hills, this is how the main characters would smell. I also get elegant iris (not in a cosmetic-scent kind of way, though), a little rose, and sweet freesia. Seeing as there's so many naturalistic notes in here; you could tell me I'm smelling poison ivy, and I'd believe you. I first noticed this scent on a colleague of mine and had to have it immediately. That was 5 years ago and I still love it and keep buying it.

Overall, this is a scent I was initially overwhelmed by from the coriander and chamomile notes, yet it persuaded me to trust it. It is subtle but strong! and very fresh! pretty scent, a very safe buy that literally subtly strong! weather/season/time: Possibly all year round. But it blooms in warm weather, and has a superb performance in hot (+30 C and up to 40 C!) weather conditions. I received this today as a christmas present....and I love it. Its a beautiful floral, fresh and sweet smelling fragrance... I definately think it is a summer fragrance, and day wear to the office as its such a pleasnt smell and a people pleaser.......maybe not what I would wear for an evening out but I love this perfume. Its very long lasting too, considering its an EDT, it lasts longer than some of my EDPs.

Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme Eau de Toilette 100ml - Superdrug

Not quite Serges Lutens in complexity, or Les Exclusitifs in refinement - but it has excellent sillage and longevity - with a delicate, warm, floral explosion of soft romanticism. It’s a light and powdery floral that, despite it’s light feel, manages to project well and last a good length of time. According to the listed notes, it contains some of those heavy hitter florals that I usually expect to find in more formal, serious perfumes ( jasmine, rose, iris etc.) and yet this comes off more casual and more like a mixed bouquet from a country garden.The only reason I did not like it on my skin is because I am not a huge fan of powdery smelling perfumes, and this does smell very powdery. To my nose, the musk is also very present, in fact this reminds me a little of Narciso Pure Musc but, in this one, the floral aspect predominates and in the Narciso the musk takes centre stage. What a nice little surprise! I actually am loving this one. Fresh and flirty. Springy and innocent. But it's mature too. There's a green and a dry hay note in here that make this deeper and more profound than a typical spring bouquet. I only thought about giving this a try after seeing it hailed as one of the best all-rounders in a thread. In other words, thank you fellow Fragranticans for blowing my mind once more with your amazing recommendations. If I had not first sprayed the 1881 Cerruti gentleman’s version first, I might have been more impressed with this offering.

That rose-gold lid and frosted bottle is quietly divine, and the small, palm-fitting oval shape makes me happeh!This was a very sucessful blind buy, I am so happy it's in my collection! My bottle is that new one with the metallic cap, and I find it estetically beautiful. I feel it is both timeless and ageless and will fit any season. I can't wait to use it in spring now!
