1881 Edition Blanche

1881 Edition Blanche by Cerruti presents a delicate, powdery floral scent centered around mimosa and heliotrope, wrapped in a soft vanilla-drenched musk. It opens with a crisp green note of bergamot and violet leaf, lending a refreshing, slightly vegetal lift that fades within an hour, allowing the floral heart to emerge. The core of the fragrance is soft, sweet, and buttery, where mimosa and heliotrope harmonize with a gentle almondy vanilla, creating a nearly skin-soft, intimate aura. The scent is not overpowering—sillage is moderate and long lasting, with a drydown that lingers close to the skin, suggesting surprising persistence despite some users reporting it vanishes quickly. It bears a strong resemblance to L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mimosa Pour Moi, yet with more moderate projection and greater staying power than typical mimosa fragrances, making it ideal for spring and early summer wear in cool or indoor settings.
