Hot of the shelves with the latest release from Cerruti, I passed on the original Vivo, although nice, itwas nothing special. The only other bottle from this house that I enjoy is 1881 Silver. The elixir on the other hand is a banger. Its bold, Intense & modern. Created by perfumers Frank Voelkl Grégoire Balleydier, it blends Eastern-inspired richness with a classic Western fougère structure, It opens with a bright, spicy kick. Pink pepper adds vibrancy, nutmeg brings creaminess, whilst the lavandin injects fresh, aromatic energy. At the heart it deepens into a warm, luxurious core. Saffron provides an exotic, slightly powdery richness, while vanilla & suede add softness, sweetness with a leathery texture. Moving into the base as it settles into a smoky, resinous, woody dry-down. Oud contributes dept with a touch of mystery, cedar adds crispness, and the Amberever molecule enhances longevity with a powerful amber/woody glow. Its striking contrast between fresh aromatic spices and rich, smoky orientals. It performs well, easily reaching the 7hr mark, it projects well for about 3hrs, before settling into a noticable scent bubble. An u usual bottle, looks like a soda can and there is a rotating ring around the neck displays the brand's "1881" code in multiple languages. You align the sequence "V1881" to unlock the spray mechanism. Best worn in the cooler weather, yet it's versatile enough for smartcasual wear, evenings out, or office use. My Rating 7.5/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

Been a minute since I wore this one last and my love for this has just been renewed. Something about it just comforting yet sexy, dark but up lifting. This is one I could wear on a regular basis, but the other kids need love too.

Ok. So I now have a travel spray of each of these. ( Two intense by mistake.) And I decided to do a side by side.. Neither will be a full bottle but, but I can kinda see the appeal. The intense is synthetic, but more photorealistic on the tobacco and actually smells a Little more like an ashtray off the Rio than the OG. The OG is much more synthetic overall and stays that way ( also a little bit sweeter ) where the intense version gets a nice, rich, smoky feel afterwards instead of the sweetness from the OG. It's a bit more balanced and less offensive off the rip, bit I'm glad I didn't purchase a full bottle of either lol. Do you have any experience with these fragrances?
