Fragrance that became a classic of this designer’s house was launched in 1995. Nino Cerruti, was known as "the youngest of the great classics," opened the first Cerruti boutique in Paris in 1967, on rue Royale. The first women's line appeared in 1976, achieving the reputation of impeccably elegant style. Cerutti perfumes are made of finest high-quality materials. That is why the perfumer chose a "fleur de lin" note that is Nino Cerruti's signature flower. Perfume was created by Claire Cain. Bottle is designed by Serge Mansau.
Cerruti is an Italian fashion house whose roots are in the textiles industry. In 1881, brothers Stefano, Antonio and Quintino Cerruti opened Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti, a textile mill specializing in wool, in the small town of Biella. The business is passed down to Antonio's son, Silvio, but his untimely death in 1950 results in the business being run by his son, Nino Cerruti, then just 20 years old. Nino introduces modern techniques to the mill, and the results are successful enough that the operation is expanded to two additional factories. Nino's interest moves from textiles to fashion design, and his first men's collection, titled "Hitman," is introduced in 1957. The brand Cerruti was officially launched in Paris in 1967, with the opening of a boutique at Place de la Madeleine. Both menswear and womenswear are created using fabrics produced at the Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti. Cerruti becomes known for its exquisite fabrics and clean cuts. Classic wool suits were a specialty of the house, and designer Giorgio Armani designed for the Hitman and Cerruti labels early in his career. Over the years, Cerruti expanded to offer Cerruti 1881 (the diffusion line), a luxury ready-to-wear collection named Cerruti Arte, Cerruti Jeans, the Cerruti Brothers business collection for men, and Cerruti 1881 Shapes (for the Asian market). All the clothing lines were eventually folded into the Cerruti 1881 label. Cerruti remains a preferred clothier for stars and frequently provides designs and garments for use in films. Fragrances were an early and important part of the Cerruti brand. The company's first fragrance, Nino Cerruti for Men, introduced in 1978, is the first in a long line of classic fragrances. The first women's scent, Nino Cerruti Pour Femme, was launched in 1987. Nino Cerruti retired from the fashion house in 2000 in order to focus on the textile business. The house continues today under the creative direction of Jesper Borjesson (menswear) and Richard Nicoll (womenswear). Cerruti fragrances are still in production today, under the Cerruti and Cerruti 1881 brands, in conjunction with Coty.
