Fragrance information:

1881 Black Cerruti, introduced to the world in 2006, sits firmly in the category of a masculine fragrance, rooted in the east and wood families.

Created within the 1881 collection and available in eau de toilette.

Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Produced in Italy, and you can feel it in every note. 1881 Black Cerruti — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of 1881 Black evolves as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Cerruti is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the right density and pace of development.

The accord profile is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Middle points to a sustained drydown presence. In projection Middle describes the way the scent radiates.

Right at the start you catch sparkling citrus opening notes: Bitter Orange, Black Pepper and Lavender.

In the middle phase you meet Caraway, Nutmeg and White Cedar holding a spicy-aromatic direction.

At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Green, Spicy, Wood and Citrus. The palette also extends to Sweet and Gourmet.

Taken together 1881 Black holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

I collect all fragrances with white cedar. It's sweet, but not like sugar, more like marzipan. This gives it a special charisma and mystery. Such a rare combination is simply amazing! It acts like therapy for me. But the most famous women's Cerruti 1881 just irritated me from start to finish. No, I'm not one to play the naive girl. I'm all for lavender and spices! Cumin, pepper, nutmeg - all of this is perfectly palpable and I really like it in this version. Bravo to the creator! ))

This fragrance is so sharp and cold, it sends shivers down my spine. It's not the first time I've bought it, first for my husband, and now my son absolutely loves it. I, however, like how it envelops you with its icy trail, but there's something sad about it ❄️

I bought this fragrance out of curiosity and for variety. I use it from time to time when I'm in the mood. The longevity, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired, as I barely feel it an hour or two after application 😕

The fragrance is not bad, but I can't say it's a masterpiece. It's a typical "Black" that usually appeals to young people. There's something mysterious about it, but not so much that it's deeply impressive. The notes are hard to distinguish, but I definitely caught lavender and pepper. The oud is barely noticeable, it's clearly missing :)✨
