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

Product Information

I strongly support opinion of all reviewers who wrote that 1881 is non-offensive, friendly, discrete, subtle, office-friendly and comforting perfume for semi-formal occasions and summer months. I'd always sneak spritzes of it when I saw testers of it about, whenever I'd smell it, I'd always think of either my sister in law or my mother, I ended up purchasing a bottle of it and subsequently got a 30ml bottle for traveling, it always without fail gets compliments. Compliments range from "you smell so snuggly" to "you smell so clean", whenever I feel low, I always reach for it. It’s a very hard fragrance to describe in terms of notes, but as I say, the image it connotes for me is the cool girl of the 90s but specifically in a hot climate. I think I will enjoy this one more when the weather heats up, as on my skin in January it’s very harsh and strong. It is true that mimosa is the most dominant floral note here, and it does smell yellow and optimistic. Whatever that means.

Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme Eau de Toilette 100ml - Superdrug

I have tried and wore quite a lot perfumes, but I can't think of none floral-woody with such perfect level of performance and endurance on 35+ Celsius sunny heat. This here! I love it. It's so soft and pleasant. It literally smells like you took a shower, shampooed your hair, got out, put baby powder on and drank a hot cup of green or chamomile tea. It is mood uplifting yet calming. Maybe it smelled good years ago , but not now. This is disappointing . It smells watery and slightly herbal . Mostly nothing . is casual, but not lose, common or cheap, it provides soft and warm freshnes and acts classy without screaming for attention.

I know this isn’t unique but sometimes when I smell a perfume, my mind instantly makes a connection to a movie, a piece of art, a book or as in this case, a song. When I smelled 1881, all I heard in my mind was Donna Summer’s I Feel Love.

This fragrance really blossoms in the heat! On my skin during warm weather it is the most beautiful floral-soapy-peachy goodness. It is a soapy/musky second skin that makes me feel beautiful. Even though it is not necessarily a warm scent, I find this very cozy and enveloping. The basenotes of musk, sandalwood and just a hint of vanilla are subtle, but they make the florals smell really rounded with no sharpness left.In 1950, at the age of 20, Cerruti inherited the family business in Biella, Piedmont. He founded his first menswear company near Milan in 1957. Armani began his career with this company in the mid-1960s. With older samples, I do wonder if the age stands in the way of experiencing the fullness and nuance of a fragrance as intended. Not much I can do about that but include it as a caveat.
