Cerruti Nino Cerruti Pour Femme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Jean Claude Delville. Nino Cerruti Pour Femme opens with Mace, Bergamot, Coriander, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Cerruti's Nino Cerruti Pour Femme carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This 80s powerhouse is big, bold, and unapologetically sensual. Often compared to Dior Poison, it's a divisive, take-no-prisoners scent that demands attention.

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

Nino Cerruti Pour Femme opens with a sharp, spicy burst of mace and coriander, uplifted by tart bergamot and a rich, honeyed plum. The heart blossoms into an opulent floral bouquet, where creamy tuberose and ylang-ylang intertwine with a hint of rose and spicy carnation. The deep, lingering dry down settles into a woody chypre base of earthy oakmoss, vetiver, and cedarwood, softened by musk and a touch of vanilla, creating a complex and enduring scent.
