What does L'Essence de Cerruti (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with spring and winter following behind. It leans towards office and daily wear, and also works for a night out. About half of voters read it as masculine.
Pepper and bergamot open it, giving a citrus and spicy first impression. Toward the heart, woods, leather and saffron come forward and the scent turns woody and leathery. Cedar and amber leave an earthy, slightly sweet warmth underneath.
