1881 Men

1881 Men, released by Cerruti in 1990 and composed by Martin Gras, is a woody fragrance for men with a floral side and lighter green, aromatic, amber and citrus touches.

Bergamot, lavender and juniper open with a crisp, clean and aromatic freshness, while galbanum and cypress add a green, coniferous edge. The heart is unexpectedly floral, with rose and ylang-ylang softening the composition and cassia adding a warm, cinnamon-like spice. The base is classic and earthy: oakmoss gives a mossy depth, cedar and pine a dry, forest-like woodiness, and sandalwood and musk a smooth, clean finish.

Most wearers find it moderate in longevity, with some reporting long-lasting wear, and the sillage is mostly moderate. It is voted for spring and summer and largely for daytime, which points to office wear and casual daytime occasions. It should appeal to men who like traditional aromatic-woody scents with a gentle floral heart.
