Cerruti 1881 Eau de Toilette 50ml is a green aromatic fougère for men, launched in 1990 and signed by perfumer Martin Gras. Named after the year the Italian fashion house was founded, it pairs an aromatic-woody opening of juniper, cypress, lavender and bergamot with a quietly floral heart of vetiver, rose and lily-of-the-valley, and a deep base of oakmoss, pine, cedar and sandalwood — a fragrance designed to feel like a perfectly tailored Italian suit.
About Cerruti
Cerruti was founded in 1881 in Biella, in the Italian Alps, where the family established its now-famous wool mill. The fashion house grew out of the textile business under the leadership of Nino Cerruti and became known internationally for its modern, quietly elegant menswear. The 1881 fragrance line celebrates the year of the textile mill's founding and reflects the same understated, mountain-and-tailoring sensibility.

Who it's for
1881 suits men who appreciate classical, well-tailored fragrances — green, aromatic, and grown-up rather than sweet or sporty. The composition has a year-round wearability with particular strength in spring and autumn, and is comfortable across office, business and casual evening contexts. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Davidoff Cool Water, Lacoste Original or Drakkar Noir will recognise the territory.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. The herbaceous opening rewards restraint; two to three sprays balance well and let the oakmoss-and-cedar drydown develop properly.
