Cerruti 1881

Boots in the UK are selling the 100ml bottle for £26, so I decided to buy a bottle after not having it in my collection for about 15 years.

I have to say it still smells fantastic and the fact that it lasts all day is a bonus. I've had it on now for 9 hours and it's still going strong.

It's good to see classics like this can still hold their own. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea but I've always liked the fragrance.

It's a good fragrance value, but there was something about the notes that didn't work on my skin. After an hour it reminded me of a cucumber salad.

A stylish citrus classic, I would say go for it, especially at such an affordable price

I really wish this one worked for me. It seems to have a particular bitterness that just does not sit well with me. It was on for a decent rate here at a drug store, but alas, would not work on my skin. A nice bottle as well.

Shame as it's a great fragrance. My wife doesn't like it at all, so I will only wear it for work and choose something she likes when we are out and about.

I like it too, in some way It reminds me a sort of citric/aquatic Antaeus.
