Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance – Sparkling Citrus Green with Elegant Woody Warmth
Xerjoff Renaissance opens with a luminous citrus blend of Calabrian bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and petitgrain. The heart blooms with graceful notes of Bulgarian rose, mint, and lily-of-the-valley, offering a fresh, romantic floral allure. A faint green aroma of rose softens the early brightness into a balanced lushness. As it settles, warm amber, cedarwood, patchouli, and musk emerge in a subtly refined woody base. This fragrance captures the spirit of Italian artistry—balanced, vibrant, and exquisitely modern. It feels fresh yet grounded, perfect for daytime elegance or warm-weather charm.
This cologne offers moderate to strong projection initially, then settles into an intimate, long-lasting sillage. Some wearers mention variable longevity depending on climate, but its presence remains evident through the evening. Enthusiasts love its creamy citrus and minty transitions, praising its uplifting and elegant dry-down. Renaissance stands out for its refined complexity and feel-good energy—ideal for those seeking a beautifully versatile scent with true boutique character.
