1881 Pour Femme
Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme is composed on a scale that modern fragrances rarely attempt. Twenty materials, arranged in three full tiers, and the density is what you notice first.
Plum and peach open it with coriander and mace giving a dry spice edge and bergamot keeping it lifted. It is fruit handled seriously rather than sweetly.
The heart is the centre of gravity: tuberose, ylang ylang, carnation, jasmine, rose, osmanthus and iris, with white honey running underneath them. That honey is what makes it distinctive, adding a thick, slightly waxy warmth to what would otherwise be a conventional white floral bouquet.
Oakmoss, sandalwood, vetiver and Virginia cedar give it a dry, mossy floor, with vanilla, musk and patchouli warming it. This is the classical structure, done at full strength.
How 1881 Pour Femme wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly. One application in the morning is enough and two is too many. Cooler weather and evenings suit it best.
Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme Eau de Toilette, created by Jean Claude Delville for Cerruti, the Italian house founded in 1967.
