1881 Men
Cerruti 1881 Men Eau de Toilette is an aromatic fougere-leaning fragrance with a classic, well-structured character. It opens on a bright, herbal and citrus-tinged freshness, with a green lavender edge giving way to a softer, slightly floral heart before settling into a dry, woody and mossy base with a gentle warmth from spice.
The overall feel is polished and self-assured rather than loud. Its aromatic woods and earthy depth give it a grounded quality, while the fresh spiced top keeps it lively enough for daytime. Wearers tend to find it sits comfortably between professional and social settings, which is why it suits the office, a dinner, or a relaxed weekend equally well.
Sillage is moderate, so the fragrance tends to sit close to the skin and carries well enough to be noticed in conversation without filling a room. It is generally long lasting, holding its character through a full working day and into the evening. Its cooler, woody character makes it especially well suited to autumn, winter and spring, though it remains wearable in summer for those who favour a fresh, aromatic style.
Launched in 1990, it is a long-standing choice for men who appreciate a classic, understated scent with real presence. Presented as an eau de toilette in a 200ml bottle from Cerruti.
