Xerjoff XJ Renaissance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. XJ Renaissance opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's XJ Renaissance carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

About

XJ Renaissance opens with an exhilarating blast of bright, tangy lemon, Bergamot, and tangerine, immediately evoking sun-drenched Mediterranean groves. A verdant heart of mint and delicate lily of the valley emerges, softened by a whisper of rose. The base settles into a clean, musky cedar, grounded by earthy patchouli and a touch of amber, ensuring this freshie actually sticks around.
