Fresh · Citrus · Green
Cerruti 1881 Essentiel is a fresh men's fragrance led by citrus, with a green, woody side; it has been discontinued.
Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays quiet through the day and keeps close to the wearer. Most voters place it in daily and leisure wear, followed by the office, with few choosing it for evenings or nights out. It reads masculine.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit, a bright, fruity citrus layer. In the heart, mugwort, pink pepper and basil add a green, spicy tone. The base of vetiver, cedarwood and oakmoss leaves a dry, woody finish, with a faintly synthetic edge among the accords.
