For several decades, Cherutti Fashion House has been considered a symbol of elegance and luxury. But in addition to creating clothes in 1978, it was decided to launch a perfume line. With his famous creations from the 1990s, namely 1881 Men Cerruti for men and 1881 Cerruti for women, this Italian fashion house has finally consolidated its position in the world of fragrances. So what conquered the weaker sex of this notorious perfume - the spirits of Cherutti 1881?
Main characteristics
This exquisite creation belongs to the group of floral aromas. The first spring-summer flowers in the top notes - mimosa, jasmine, iris, violet, lily of the valley - are slightly diluted with bergamot bitterness and the sweetness of a rose. The middle notes reveal chamomile, orange blossom, galbanum, geranium and tuberose framed by coriander. The base is purely woody (cedar, sandalwood, ambergris), with the exception of vanilla and musk.
The most prominent components of this wood-flower mix are chamomile, mimosa, rose and violet. Many owners note a fairly good durability (from 7 to 10 hours) and a fairly strong loop (perfume can be heard even at a distance of 2 meters). But all this concerns the old version of Cherutti 1881, but the new one does not have such characteristics: it has worse durability and a solid chamomile is felt in the composition.
If we talk about the bottle, then there is nothing fanciful in it, but its round shape looks promising. Frosted glass is fraught with a kind of mystery. Even the bottle itself will be a decoration of a ladies table.
Benefits
Everyone fell in love with this perfume for something different. To sum up the enthusiastic reviews, he is mostly praised for his warmth and femininity, while someone, on the contrary, calls him the fragrance of the fateful lady vamp. Why are the responses so conflicting? The case, most likely, is a combination of chamomile and wood base. The one on whom the aroma of this wild flower is well revealed will note the tenderness and carefree perfume (they will immediately remember the summer, meadow, wreaths of daisies). Well, those on whom sandalwood and cedar will cover the floral notes will attribute these perfumes to dry and rough. In a word, Cherutti 1881 will sound very different on different skin, so it’s not scary if a friend buys herself the same scent.
There is no sugary sweetness inherent in girlish spirits. The smell is rather acute, you need to get used to it. It is revealed in stages, stepwise. Chamomile gives bitter, powdered iris and sweet mimosa sound persistent, but gentle. Some call it the smell of a bouquet of field herbs.
Someone hears noble tobacco, although it is not among the components of Cherutti 1881. Reviews of others characterize it as a cool smell. It sits well on clothes. Especially suitable for those girls who have cold and dry skin, and on which most fragrances may not reveal at all. And although these perfumes can not be called sweet, they miraculously give a sweet mood.
disadvantages
Even those who idolized it before, now consider the smell old-fashioned. Here, probably, associations did their job, because in the 90s this smell mainly belonged to rich and well-groomed aunts, who, having grown old, still do not change him. Others hear the smell of cream with daisies, and this somehow simplifies the whole idea of expensive perfumes.
Someone did not like him from the first test, but any perfume must be carried, and allotted to them for at least a week, and Cherutti 1881, this is primarily true. To make a final conclusion, they must be tried in cold and damp weather, sometimes this changes the idea of aroma.
It is also useful to start with small doses, since Cherutti 1881 perfumes in a strong concentration are an amateur, they can act asphyxiating, especially indoors.
General conclusion
Although Cherutti 1881 is an absolute classic, it’s not one of those scents that suit everyone and everything. Although many teenagers are in love with him, he definitely has his own target audience - well-groomed, well-groomed ladies, who are slightly over 30 and older.
He is unlikely to sit well on very young girls, because he will most likely cause a feeling of dissonance. Suitable for everyday wear. Many note that in the first two hours, the strongest sharpness disappears, and there remains a continuous tenderness in the form of a violet-chamomile bouquet.
So, how can one characterize the spirits of Cherutti 1881? Reviews speak of their impressiveness, behind which are hidden coolness and floral tenderness. Perhaps now is the time to try them ...
