About This Perfume
Think Smoky leather jacket, peppery spice and resin: that is Cerruti 1881 Signature. It opens with pepper, nutmeg and cypress, moves into cardamom, labdanum and leather and settles on amber, patchouli and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2017.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike leathery fragrances.
Around $39.
