Nino Cerruti Pour Femme Cerruti for women

Elegant and eighties, love it, miss it already, I treasure my one remaining bottle.

One of the 80's most fogotten perfumes. 1987's Nino Cerruti Pour Femme is a slightly sweet, mild chypre floral. It starts out with a lot of plum, and while at this stage, reminds me a little of Dior's '85 Poison. The middle notes arrive soon after, bringing on the sweet jasmine and tuberose, though, not near as heavy as in Poison. It is not until the base notes come in after about 45 minutes that the chypre characteristics are noticed in this fragrance. The ending notes consist of vetiver, mild oakmoss and a dry vanilla.

Others fragrances related to or similar to Nino is Poison, Alfred Sung's signature, Sung from 1986, a little of Giorgio's character, though, not anything as strong as that one, and fast forwarding some years...Hermes' 1995 release, 24 Faubourg. If you like any of those perfumes, you would probably like Nino.

Nino Cerruti Pour Femme has long been discontinued, but if you do find a bottle or mini bottle at a reasonable price, it is worth trying. It is nothing short of everything that was the 80's. Though not as powerhoused as some, it is definitely of its era.

That is what I miss most about the past decades...even though there were fragrances that had similar vibes back then, each still stood their own ground and were recognizable in their own right. That kind of craftwork is missed.

First notes of Nino Cerruti pour femme resemble me a little of "Femme" Rochas - I guess it is coriander and plum, but NC is much lighter. NC is a light, delicately sweet (honey) and elegant chypre, very pleasant and sensual.
