Reviews of Cerruti pour Homme by Cerruti

Cerruti pour Homme - Cerruti
I imagine this scent is the result of copy- and pasting all the masculine perfumes of the last 35 years together and let a computer calculate the optimal average blend and than crank up its volume a few notches. Of course that doesnt work.

Starts out with an Original Santal and Mont Blanc Legend opening which is very nice. From the opening the mid this just falls flat on it's face. The mid smells like a cheap shampoo and the dry down smells of rubbing alcohol. Projection and longevity are fortunately awful and this last for a total of 2 hours. Think I bought this for $12 and it's honestly not worth that.

Cerruit Pour Homme (CPH)... A pleasant surprise...

Like some of my colleagues in the review world, it has been a while since last wearing Cerruti Pour Homme. Today - I dusted (not literally - my house is spotless..) off the bottle and gave it a shot.. As others have commented, it was a pleasant surprise. I had forgotten how pleasant the CPH scent is - a soft blend of citrus and woodsy notes that has a beautiful dry down into a powdery, woodsy, and fruity blend that is very easy on the nose. With a growing collection, it is often difficult deciding the "fragrance of the day" - trust me - the interval from now until the next CPH wearing will be brief. The projection and sillage are first rate during the first four to five hours and then settling close to skin level. The fragrance lasts much longer on clothing - it remains on my business shirt following a 10-hour day. (Rather than working the traditional 'compressed scheduled' - I think I am on a 'depressed schedule'). The beauty of CPH is the flexibility. While having notes of citrus and fruit, the woodsy notes are strong enough to be worn during any time of year and for any occasion. While wearing today, I was smiling and genuinely happy throughout - that said, I would label CPH has a day fragrance, but again, the fragrance is versatile enough to be worn at night. With the moderate projection and sillage, CPH is definitely "office friendly" and a safe fragrance for those with a sensitive noses. No compliments (a.k.a.the Wow Factor) today, but the potential exists. Personally, I beat to my own drum and if I like it, I wear it with confidence..!!

CPH can be hard to find, but some on-line sites still carry - and at a reasonable price. The bottling and packaging are first class. The bottle and cap (unique design) are some of my favorites. My evaluation of CPH is 4.1 stars out of 5 stars. With that comes a solid recommendation to add CPH to your collection.

The daily I.M. - "We should never search for something that we will never find... Instead - search for Happiness.."

One of my favorite office frags. It is an absolute beast in terms of longevity. I typically put it on around 7:30AM, and a wonderful waft just hit me at 4:15PM. I really enjoy the smell even though it isn't anything mind-blowing. It just seems like such a well-crafted frag with a sense of balance.

The effect of this juice on my skin is that of an "oceanic" light citrus with dark marshmallow-like undertones.

It is neither unique nor very good in my estimation. Typical of the designer men's fragrances over the past few decades showing little imagination nor creativity.

I really do like this one - the problem is that I can't quite figure out when I should wear it. It's masculine and dressy enough to wear with a tie, but I bought it as something to try out at the office. For some reason, the top notes linger longer than they should for my nose. I really like the base, but it takes a good two hours for it to reach that point. I have a full bottle (which is about as cool as cool bottles get)...and I will update this review as I wear it more often. There is something in this one that sends me into olfactory overload. Can't quite place it. It does smell nice...

Great "in between" fragrance that straddles the distinctions between warm and spicy with cool and citrusy bright. Presents a crisp bergamot orangey top that introduces the anise in transition during dry down to a base of woods and spices. There is a slight smokiness from sandalwood and cedar that is much lighter and more muted than is typical with those scents. A very refreshing fragrance for daytime or mixed social occasions. Cerruti is especially ideal if you naturally gravitate towards bold "übermasculine" frags, but want a lighter alternative for balance in your wardrobe.

I love this one for formal wearings!
It's quite fresh. Not like you've just got out of the shower, but it's a bit sharp and a little bit fruity. Dries down to a nice, dark woody scent.
I wear it when I'm going to something formal.

This is an absolute favourite of mine!
I've got a sample right now, but I want to buy a big bottle of it!

I have to admit that after couple of more wearings of this one, I started to appreciate it. Casual and elegant, seems simple but there is a bit complexity here that I like. Longevity is quite good, projection moderate, it is not too loud, but on the other hand it is not ˝I'm not here˝ type of scent.

100mL came with a large toiletries bag for (AUS $20) $16 US on sale - I bought it for the bag. This is a great fragrance - citrussy without being too sharp - it is nicely balanced with wood and spice/herbs. It lasts reasonably well. My wife wanted the toiletries bag and I ended up buying two more sets. I would wear this every day without any worries at all (given the fact I now have 300mL of the fragrance I had better start wearing it a lot).

A very distintive fragrance but uncommon may because of a new launch. Not even a minor resemblance with JPG-Fleur D Male (as commented by few at different forums). For me I cant categorize it as a Floral Scent. It's a citrus as well as spicy (balanced) fragrance and have a great chemistry with my skin as for lasting, whenever (Day / Night) I used it. A refreshing fragrance with Citrus Zest, Mandarin, Bergamot in top with heart containing Anise, Basil, Coriander and ends with Sandalwood, Cedar & Guaiacum Wood. A moderate fragrance, good for romantic / casual wear and lasts 3-6 hours in my case. Not in my regular use but whenever I use it, gives a perfect wearing experience. My wife loves it!

To me, this one is initially somewhat like a less rich, less loud version of Creed Original Santal (I did a side by side comparison). Unfortunately, as time progresses it changes and reminds me more of a version of Joop Jump - a scent that I'm not overly fond of.

Bingo. A less potent Joop! Homme. Where Creed's Original Santal is still a little heavy and cloying (and smells "better" than Joop! Homme), Cerruti pour Homme tones it down even further and makes it bearable and wearable. If you like the smell of Joop! but are worried about the potency, Cerruti pour Homme might be right up your alley. A top of sweet citrus, a musky floral heart and a drydown of musky, sweet sandalwood.

I tried this fragrance on my wrist at an airport recently, after the first sniff, my right nostril was literally hurting! I went to the toilet to try and wash as much off as possible, it was like someone smashing a brick into my nose!

I got a chance to sample this recently, and I can't quite place it. At different stages it kept on reminding me of JPG's Le Fleur du Male, although no where as composed or refined. It's a manly floral, that starts out bluish spicy, the spicy part never fading. It's not as common place as several new releases, maybe it is intended as a more manly version of le Fleur du Male
