Cerruti launched 1881 pour Homme in 1990, composed by Martin Gras. Its name recalls the year the Cerruti family founded its wool business in Biella. The house describes it as green, woody and spicy: juniper, cypress and lavender on top, a heart of vetiver, ylang-ylang and rose, a base of moss, pine and sandalwood. Serge Mansau designed its frosted glass bottle.
A frosted glass block designed by Serge Mansau, both smooth and matte, with the name standing out in relief against a green tint.
The bottle of 1881 pour Homme was designed by Serge Mansau for the 1990 launch. It is a massive block of frosted glass, whose raw edges the house compares to a stone cut from granite.
The house stresses the contrast between two finishes, smooth glass and matte glass, meant to express the strength of natural elements. The name is embossed on the surface, and a green tint highlights the whole. The fragrance is sold today in four sizes, from 25 to 200 milliliters.
Charles-Philippe, of Bespoke Unit, described in 2017 a glass frosted front and back, with clear sides tinted green. The number 1881 seems to him molded by hand, and the textured back evokes rock and running water; he finds the box and the chrome-finished plastic cap cheap.
