L'ESSENCE DE CERRUTI


A marvel of creative modern elegance<p>Having picked up a bottle at an ultra-knockdown price and not expecting much, I was immediately amazed at the beauty of the bergamot-drenched light peppery incense top note, which was nigh velvety in its texture.

 

It only got better: a light woody drydown with white suede and saffron merged into a base of amber and white musk. Always light and nigh ephemeral, exceptionally well-blended and exuding elegance without any hint of stuffiness. 

 

Poor sillage and projection on my skin, but a decent longevity of over four hours, albeit close to my skin, and lacking depth at times; otherwise n exceptional fragrance in spite of the limited performance.  3.5/5
