Cerruti 1881 Image Homme Eau Du Toilette Spray 100 ml

Product Information

He had already taken the starch out of traditional men’s wear by removing linings, mixing patterns and fabrics, and experimenting with new weaves and colors that would work with his modern, supple styles. Alain Delon, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michael Caine and Orson Welles were customers, as was Faye Dunaway and Coco Chanel, who in 1969 bought a pair of men’s velvet pants and had them tailored to fit her. As of 6 May 2021, Cerruti 1881 has 84 stores in 34 cities in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. [9] Yesterday, I wore and wrote a review on Image's younger sibling, Cerruti Pour Homme. Today, Image was next in my rotation of "fragrance of the day"... Image is a very pleasant scent that is fresh, clean, and a blend of fruit and floral notes. Image is easy on the nose and offers great day and Summer flexibility/versatility without being overbearing or offensive to some. It is that "fresh showered" scent that is safe for the office... I will add that given the fruity and floral notes, while masculine, this fragrance could easily be worn (and worn with confidence) by females. Now the rest of the story... Image projects well during the first hour and then settles close to the skin. With my "body chemistry", following four hours of wear in an office-type setting, the fragrance/scent is hardly noticeable. Pity - out of the bottle it is a good fragrance. What a wonderful surprise this perfume is! The warmer it gets on my skin, the more it enchants me. The sweet and sour of the gentian rules the heart without the earthy effect of the root, just a deep bitter, herbaceous note with a dry woody undertone. In the heart stands a light balsamic mentholated colouring with semi-metallic edges, thanks to the graphite, which brings a mineral side. I could stay like this forever to smell it and never get tired. The middle stage is fresh, watery, and captivating, without the floral, milky touch of pour Homme, courtesy of jasmine and fig. Instead, there is something delicately metallic, pleasant and dewy. Nino Cerruti created exclusive clothes for films and actors, since he first dressed French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo in 1965.

It is borne by warmer woody notes. At first I recognize the cedarwood I noticed in the top note already, after that there is the acerbic and medicinal scent of birch bark. A little amber adds warmth, but that does not mean that the mint is gone, oh no! I had an old tester tube when I wrote this but decided to buy a larger bottle which I did. And it smells still the same. Fortunately, as this scent made me think of a very relaxed holiday in Sweden. I like to describe my operation as a modern version of the handcraft bodegas of centuries ago,” Mr. Cerruti told Esquire magazine in 1987. “It is important to know each link in the chain. I consider myself very close to the theory of industrial design: using modern technology to reach the market. It’s a very modern challenge: the continuous harmonization between the rational or scientific world and the emotional or artistic world.”Image Woman is one of the most popular fragrances produced by the brand Cerruti and a perennial favourite. An eau de toilette like this one is a clever choice for a woman who is seeking something with less sillage because this type of fragrance has a lower percentage of essential oils, generally between 5% - 15%. Image Woman has been available since 2000 and belongs to the renowned collection Cerruti Image. Ideal Summer Scent In 1881, the grandfather of Nino Cerruti founded the textile mill Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti. Located in Biella ( Piemonte, Italy), the water in the region is put to use to wash and treat the wool, which is imported principally from Australia and South Africa, so as to develop flannel, tweeds, cashmere, and butter muslin. Nino Cerruti took over the family business after his father's death in 1950. [3] Cerruti fabrics are still produced in the same workshops.

In 1960, the year the Fellini film “La Dolce Vita” came out, he chose its voluptuous star, Anita Ekberg, to introduce a new color for his fabrics by leading a flotilla of Fiats to the Excelsior Hotel on Rome’s Via Veneto, where Ms. Ekberg smashed Champagne bottles as she marched into the hotel’s lobby. The cars and Ms. Ekberg were all sheathed (actually, the cars were painted) in the same rich petrol blue, as Michael Gross wrote in his introduction to “Cinema: Nino Cerruti and the Stars” (1994). This is a citrus woody scent that could pass for a unisex fragrance. Signature scent worthy for the right wearer. Possibly second skin for the right chemistry. Very wearable in warm weather, even with a heavy hand. Mr. Cerruti had many designers over the decades, including a young Giorgio Armani, who worked for Mr. Cerruti’s company in the 1960s. For a few years in the mid-1990s, Narciso Rodriguez was the lead designer, notably creating Carolyn Bessette’s pearl-hued silk crepe wedding dress for her marriage to John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996.Because Cerruti commanded his Italian manufacturing base all the way to its primary imports of Australian wool and Mongolian cashmere, he was less dependent than most designers on couture catwalk publicity to promote perfume sales and other revenue-generators. The business diversified – jeans, some accessories, reshapings for markets in Asia – but unlike many French houses it was never absorbed into a luxury conglomerate company in exchange for promised infusions of capital. The Cerruti label was launched in 1967 with a menswear collection. In 1976, the line 'Cerruti Woman' was created. Before creating his own brand in 1974, Giorgio Armani had worked in Paris under Cerruti. What stars wore off-screen they requested for their on-screen wardrobes, including Richard Gere in Pretty Woman (1990), Harrison Ford in Clear and Present Danger (1994), Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk (1991), Clint Eastwood in In the Line of Fire (1993), and Cerruti’s “muse” Kathleen Turner as private eye VI Warshawski (1991). A Cerruti suit’s drape could conceal any calibre of handgun with a few per cent of stretch Lycra added to the fibre mix. Mr. Cerruti was an early adopter of unisex dressing, though he loathed the term as being too anatomical. Couple-dressing was his preferred phrase, and in the late 1960s his Paris boutique on the Place de La Madeleine — called Cerruti 1881 in homage to the year his family’s firm was founded — sold his and hers velvet pantsuits. (He had introduced a women’s wear line in 1968.)
