Cerruti CerrutiSi is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart. CerrutiSi opens with Mandarin and Ginger, settles into a heart of Resins, Cedar, Geranium, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, Heliotrope, and Benzoin. Cerruti's CerrutiSi carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive but utterly unique scent, CerrutiSi sparks strong opinions. Some find it a smooth, balsamic masterpiece, while others are left underwhelmed by its subtlety and fleeting nature. It's either an understated gem or a disappointing whisper.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

CerrutiSi opens with a lively burst of mandarin and ginger, a fresh and subtly spicy introduction. This quickly settles into a heart where resins and cedar provide a warm, woody core, balanced by the herbal touch of rosemary and geranium. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, mossy oakmoss, and a gentle sweetness from heliotrope and benzoin, creating a soft, balsamic finish.
