ResinousWhat does 1881 Intense pour Homme smell like?
It suits daytime and evening wear: voters lean towards daily use, followed by nights out and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes makes these ratings tentative. Azzaro pour Homme and Cerruti 1881 pour Homme have a close profile.
It opens with bergamot, juniper berry, cypress and fir resin for a cool, green start, with pink pepper and basil adding spice. Lavender, pine and patchouli lead the heart, with ylang-ylang lending some sweetness. The base settles into leather, oakmoss, sandalwood and mahogany, an earthy, woody finish softened by musk.
