ABSTRACT Sadly discontinued -and very hard to find now at decent prices- it was considered by connoisseurs as a luxury alternative for Dior's Poison (1985); but at the same time it was considered -by detractors- only as an elegant "spin-off" from Clandestine (by Guy Laroche, 1986) 

In any case, luxury and elegance were qualities typical of "Cerruti pour Femme" (1987).

Very feminine and persistant, with enormous sillage, as almost every "powerhouses" during the '80s, Cerruti was a magnificent scent already in the presentation. Packaged wonderfully in a box recalling the "Cretto" paintings by artist Alberto Burri, with additional casting of black and golden paint; poured in an asymmetrical bottle as a sort of glass sculpture; with a "stem"-type spray plunging directly into the bottle; and with a lot of attention for details. 

"Cerruti pour femme" was a great scent.High quality ingredients, floral middle notes very intense, an infinite drydown. A sumptuous perfume, lost in the memory, to be discovered and appreciated again.
