Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-turner, but definitely not a blind buy unless you live for sharp, potent violet. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair; some find it a masterful, unique floral, while others can't stand its intense, screechy greenness.
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance - a luminous Italian-citrus and mint opening, like a refined mojito, over a soft white-floral heart and a clean amber-cedar-musk base. PP captures the bright, sophisticated, compliment-getting character of the niche original, but renders it a touch flatter and thinner, with the density of the Xerjoff softened. Elegant summer freshness for a fraction of the price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its exceptional projection and longevity make it a bit much for the office unless applied very sparingly. However, its sophisticated and attention-grabbing floral character is perfect for dates and formal events, leaving a memorable sillage. It also works well for casual wear where you want to make a statement.
Seasons
The bright Italian-citrus and mint character is built for spring and summer; the light, fresh profile lacks the warmth for cold weather.
Occasions
Its clean, refined freshness is highly office- and daytime-versatile, with enough elegance for smart-casual formal wear and easy casual days.
