1881 Essence

1881 Essence is the men’s eau de parfum that Cerruti adds to its 1881 line. The house sets a gin accord and black pepper against a heart of lavender, geranium and supple leather, over a base of Virginia cedar, tonka bean and amber. It is meant for a modern man, self-assured and magnetic.

Where to buy

1881 Essence is the new men’s eau de parfum in Cerruti’s 1881 line. It comes in a 100 ml bottle. For the house, it is the fragrance of a modern man: self-assured, magnetic, in search of deep meaning and sophistication without excess, with a natural sensuality.

A House Born in Biella

The Cerruti brothers founded the house of Cerruti in Biella, Italy, in 1881, to weave high-quality wools. Nino Cerruti created the brand in Paris in 1967 and launched his first fragrance in 1978.

Cerruti 1881 pour Homme, launched in 1990, became the brand’s olfactive signature. Designer Parfums, a British company, has held the license for Cerruti fragrances since May 2018.

The House’s Message

Cerruti says it is reconnecting with the visionary spirit of Nino Cerruti and blending the Italian art of living with Parisian sophistication. It presents 1881 Essence as a play of contrasts, bold and refined, intense and elegant, where woody intensity meets timeless elegance.
