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

Product Information

I think this is a safe blind-buy for musk-lovers or anyone looking for a polite, all-purpose scent to have on hand. I don't mean to downplay this as the "elevator music" of perfumes or something. To be clear, I think it smells great! I keep sniffing my wrist to experience it again.

After half an hour, the dry down is a little bit more difficult for me. The sandalwood is a sweet, exactly like in Eau d’été Kenzo (the last one, green in the leaf shape); it doesn’t work very well with the happy flowers. I would have preferred the fragrance to stay clearly floral and springtime colored..hours down it is a windblown floral...I keep getting delightful whiffs of soft flowers and powder (the good fresh clean kind, might I add!) It's almost as though I am not the one wearing it but someone wearing it has just walked by even when I'm in my own company. This reminds me of the good old days when perfume still smelled like perfume, and bath salts were...bath salts. They often smelled like this, with prominent notes of freesia, mimosa, rose, and the like. A woman would emerge from a hot bath smelling like a sweet and powdery bouquet of flowers. This scent is quite timeless, though they're not made like this anymore. So I do have a problem with late spring and summer perfumes, because I can't safely cuddle with my beloved rich florals and deep warm orientals. So initially I said that it is perfect for summer wear, but in fact I find it even better in spring or autumn, it's very office friendly and could really be worn all year round, even in the depths of winter. 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.

At first spray, it is very delicate and a little aquatic. Not offensive and very office friendly... After a couple of minutes it really changes to a powdery smell with prominent delicate roses . Quite pleasant and elegant, bur stronger than its initial smell. 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. I was so excited to get this for Christmas. I have tested it many times in the past and loved it. My sister in law used to wear it all the time and it always smelled beautiful on her.What a pleasant surprise! I have been eyeing this perfume for three years. I just never got around to buy it. People in comments should always write which version of the perfume and of which year they are talking about. Cerrutti eau de parfume in this case too, it was so much better long time ago and now it is just something else. There is something that irritates me in the first few minutes ...but then it disappeares and the flowers take the front seat. While I didn't genuinely expect it to be that close, I can't detect a single note this fragrance has in common with MSM. 1881 is quite sharp, and it seems like all the notes are in the upper range. It's the aromatic equivalent to turning on a music player and getting all treble, no bass. It's strong and it's sharp.

Anyway, fast forward to 2021, and I had a little bottle, lying around, actually for over a year!! Lol and I was thinking of getting rid of it. I tried it on, one last time, and WOW! Just WOW!Armani recognized Cerruti as a creative entrepreneur with "a keen eye, a genuine curiosity, an ability to be daring". To me smells very classy and defined, she gave me a telling off when I asked what it was as I bought it for her a couple years ago (I forgot obviously lol). I came across some good perfumes since, but never was mesmerized. The problem is that I only notice perfumes on people and very often am uncomfortable asking what the perfume was. I used to had a full bottle around 1998 - marbled peach coloured cap, EDP version - and that was beautiful and very-very rich, classy, soft and powdery with incredible lasting power. If you are looking for a unique floral woody and cozy scent with good silage and longevity Cerutti 1881 is definitely going to be your favourite
