This stuff is really nice.
What I like about it is that it smells a lot younger than say Versace and Dolce & Gabanna. typically when I smell those I imagine an old man with a cane lol. This one smells nice and fresh.
What I also like about it is that it significantly cheaper than the other colognes. I guess it does not last extremely long, (around 3 hours if you spray once.)
I find it smells like swamp flowers and lemon/bergamot. Nice and citrusy.
Comes in a big bottle enough to last many years.

This is indeed a citrus blast, IMO almost an overkill. In the beginning this cologne is very household cleaner intense, like a kitchen or bathroom cleaner. It was a blind buy and I really didn’t like it at first. So I decided it would be my new gym frangrance, why not?
And then, suddenly, and really strangely I started getting lots of smiles, especially from a different type of lady, a type that I usually don’t pull at all. Thing is ,after the initial citrus blast dissipates, it does become kind of friendly and welcoming. And you certain feel clean, almost like Mr. Clean himself.
Personally I like the woodier scents and wish this could have just a touch more cedar and perhaps something like a light evergreen or a hint of vetiver. My current summer favorite is AdP Ginepro di Sardinia. Much more of a compliment getter. Nobody has complimented me on the Cerruti so far, but as I said reactions seem to be positive.
So while it is inexpensive I would still caution about blind buying. The initial blast smells like a janitor’s closet, but after that it settles into something decent.
Fragrance: 6/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: Moderate to Strong so maybe 7.5/10
Mostly suited for hot days.

From smelling it on a paper tester, it smells like Dior Homme Cologne layered with Light Blue.
As I have those 2 fragrances mentionned above, I will do the test and compare it with the Cerruti Essentiel vial I got from the store 😉
Will update on the results later…
UPDATE :
I did the test on my skin and I confirm that Cerruti 1881 essentiel smells exactly the same as Light Blue Intense (for woman) layered with Dior Homme Cologne.
Beware you have to spray light Blue first and Dior Homme Cologne second, otherwise the citrus note from light blue is a tad too proeminent.
I only have light blue intense version for woman, but it should also work with the « regular » light blue for woman.
I am glad I smelled Cerruti as now I discovered a combo of fragrance I really enjoy ! 🙂

Sounds like a citrus overblast.
Not that I don’t like citrus scents… 🙂
