Cerruti Pour Homme

Cerruti Pour Homme, inspired by Cerruti pour Homme (2007)

Herbs and spice give this scent its character. After a short citrus opening of mandarin and bergamot, coriander and basil take over, with anise adding a faint liquorice tone. Guaiac wood, a smoky and slightly sweet wood, anchors the base with sandalwood and cedar. It dries down powdery and gentle, which makes it easy to wear in most settings.

About the original

Cerruti released Cerruti pour Homme in 2007, with Michel Girard and Gilles Romey credited as perfumers. The name is easily confused with two older Cerruti men's fragrances: Nino Cerruti pour Homme from 1979, an aromatic fougère, and Cerruti 1881 pour Homme from 1990. This page refers to the 2007 release. One large online retailer shows it as sold out and wearers say it has become scarce, but we could not verify its status on Cerruti's own site.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Cerruti stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Quiet and unobtrusive, it belongs to the office and the working week. Anise and powder can feel old-fashioned to some, and anyone looking for a bold evening fragrance will find it too reserved.

Notes of the original fragrance, as listed in fragrance references.

Top notes: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot

Heart notes: Coriander, Anise, Basil

Base notes: Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, Cedar

Mandarin and bergamot give a brief, clean citrus opening.

Coriander, anise and basil form an aromatic heart, herbal with a light liquorice tone.

Guaiac wood leads the base with sandalwood and cedar, drying to a smooth powderiness.

Is this Cerruti 1881 pour Homme?

No. Our reference is Cerruti pour Homme from 2007, a different scent from Cerruti 1881 pour Homme (1990) and Nino Cerruti pour Homme (1979).

Is Cerruti pour Homme still made?

At least one large retailer lists it as unavailable and wearers say it has become scarce, but we have not found an official statement from Cerruti.

Does Cerruti pour Homme smell of anise?

Yes, gently. Anise sits in the heart with coriander and basil, giving a faint liquorice note.

Is Cerruti Pour Homme coming back?
