Cerruti 1881 Silver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Maurice Roucel and Aliénor Massenet. 1881 Silver opens with Lemon, Ginger, Coriander, and Sage, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Amberwood. Cerruti's 1881 Silver carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is your dad's barbershop classic, but surprisingly, it still hits different. A clean, dependable scent that won't offend anyone, though it won't turn heads either. It's a solid, understated choice for everyday wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of lemon and ginger, uplifted by green basil and a peppery hint of coriander. The heart introduces a classic barbershop lavender, smoothed by soft ylang-ylang and a subtle, juicy pineapple. The dry down settles into an elegant, slightly metallic oakmoss and warm amberwood, grounded by an earthy patchouli, creating a refined and clean finish.
