Once (brain) air, please!
Sour or acidified is a facet that usually doesn't suit me at all, even though I wouldn't call myself a cute little fellow ;-) But a few months ago I suddenly got a real appetite for fragrances. This could be due to my favourite fragrance, L'Homme Ultime, which after a few hours gives off a fine-sour vetiver that smells incredibly good (together with a slight cedar smoke).
And after the Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver was a little too angry for me, I actually began to move towards the barbershop, which is normally not one of my preferences - apart from the fact that there is not much left to barb my bald head anyway :-) But I knew, there's some acid there, and there must be something on them, even if the corresponding scents are often called oldschool.
So I picked seven candidates, knowing that there was far more of this species. At the same time I hoped that the chosen ones were not too spicy ... Well then:
In my comparison test, I found that Paco Rabanne pour Homme, which in itself was a great success, thinned out too much after a few hours, but the Aramis was too spicy and intense for me, only topped by Tabac Original. Jaguar for Men was great but still not very convincing, Azzaro pour Homme was the most well-balanced, but still too spicy, and then came Rive Gauche from YSL, whose journey after the first sensational 30 minutes leads about 2 hours through a lavender field and then flows into a mild oldschooler - very valuable and simply great! And when I was about to catch this fine scent, one last one came on the scene, the Cerruti 1881pour Homme.
Maybe I'll get the Rive Gauche too, but at first I chose the Italian. Because as already Netlab72 remarks "it is a fresh green fragrance" and I would like to add "that is not too spicy by sage, basil & Co." And so I feel it is also more "classic" than "oldschool", which only corresponds to my personal definition. Because by citrus, coniferous wood and oak moss this 1881 reminds quite of smells of the 70/80s, but for lack of strong spice as for example Muskatellersalbei and other kitchen favorites it looks somewhat "more modern" to me than the others.
Its opening convinces with an acidic bergamot (>30%) and a violent fresh green cypress (>50%), which together produce a decent Sillage, which seems almost over-fresh ... One immediately notices that this Cerruti is a fragrance to wake up and align. If you want to ground yourself in between, spray it on and let yourself be captivated by its masculine vintage aura. Perhaps the other head and heart notes also contribute a little to this, but at the latest after three quarters of an hour you are really aired by the herbaceous and woodsy freshness of the fragrance and you go strengthened and motivated to the next actions :)
Even though the 1881 pH still smells "classic" in its rather linear course, the patch now slightly cushions the fragrance, which after approx. 2 hours also has a slightly less acidic effect, but continues to be mainly in coniferous wood. Here he meets strong light pines rooted in a hint of sandalwood, surrounded by soft moss. This makes it so well balanced from hour 3 that you can slowly dare to get close to the fair femininity again, should it be rather delicate ;-)
Apropos sillage and reformulation: the fragrance does not have the strongest projection after 2-3 hours, but it is always enough for half an arm's length ... And if you even think this Cerruti is weak-chested, please apply it exactly there, namely in the chest area: 2-3 splashes on a shirt are enough, and you have the first three quarters of an hour guaranteed a lot of joy in him! And on textile he then loosely holds out an office day, apart from going home of course :)
Conclusion: For me, Cerrutis Saubermann is a timeless classic, and therefore a hit. Because it combines three things: Due to its lack of kitchen spices, it suits me better than most oldschool or barbershop fragrances. In addition, the strong green, crystal clear freshness from acidified coniferous wood is just the right thing to air the brain, so that "I think I'm standing in the woods" finally finds its true meaning :) And last but not least, this fragrance gains more than 40% in durability on textiles.
Finally, a word about the bottle, which I really like. Because next to a beautifully embossed Frosted Glass, its front sides are slanted, so that it lies particularly well in the hand when grabbing. One likes to touch him and always knows; now it gets really bitter-fresh, because with Cerrutis 1881 pour Homme one thing is certain to succeed:
once (brain) aerate, please :)
