1881 Signature
by Cerruti
Cerruti 1881 Signature is a dark, spicy leather fragrance with a pronounced pepper and cardamom opening, leading to a smooth, tanned leather base layered with amber, patchouli, and vetiver. The scent evolves into a warm, subtly sweet dry down with a powdery, ambery character, reminiscent of a new car or high-end leather garment. It carries a refined, mature aura, suitable for cooler weather and nighttime occasions, with a quiet yet distinctive character that stands out at close proximity. The fragrance performs consistently as a lean, intimate scent with moderate longevity and moderate sillage, best worn under the right circumstances — suited for those drawn to refined, non-loud oriental leathers with a strong but not overwhelming presence.

Cons
