Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - XJ Renaissance Eau de Parfum

This is a real citrus bomb, bursting with photorealistic Italian lemons and mandarins. While some find its green and floral dry-down a bit old-fashioned or even like cleaning product, for most, it's a luxurious, refreshing summertime staple.

Our Verdict - de Rochas Homme Eau de Toilette

A sparkling citrus legend that's somehow both classic and ageless, Eau de Rochas Homme is a proper crowd-pleaser. Just be prepared to re-spray your way to sunshine; performance isn't its strong suit.

XJ Renaissance Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its bright, fresh, and moderately projecting nature makes it an excellent choice for casual wear and sports, especially in warm weather. While some find it too potent for the office, its uplifting vibe is generally well-received. It's sophisticated enough for some dates but might lack the gravitas for truly formal events.

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh citrus and aromatic blend make it perfect for casual wear, holidays, or even the gym. While it's generally office-safe due to its moderate sillage, the weak longevity means it's not ideal for longer formal events.
