Xerjoff Renaissance Eau De Parfum

Xerjoff Renaissance Eau De Parfum was launched in 2011 as part of the distinguished “1861” collection, a tribute to the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. Crafted to evoke the spirit of Italian artistry and vibrancy, Renaissance is a unisex fragrance that captures the lightness of Mediterranean citrus groves with the elegance of soft florals and earthy woods. It’s a refined and uplifting scent, perfectly suited for spring and summer, yet versatile enough for year-round wear.

The opening notes are an effervescent fusion of Calabrian bergamot, lemon, petitgrain, and mandarin. These citrus elements create a crisp and invigorating first impression—bright, zesty, and slightly green. The bergamot and lemon dominate with their sharp sparkle, while the petitgrain and mandarin add a subtle herbal and sweet undertone. It’s a radiant opening that immediately energizes the senses and sets the stage for a deeper aromatic journey.

In the heart of Renaissance, a serene and cooling blend of Bulgarian rose, mint, and lily of the valley begins to emerge. The rose is soft and graceful, offering floral warmth that harmonizes beautifully with the fresh, almost icy clarity of mint. Lily of the valley lends a tender greenness to the heart, reinforcing the fragrance’s fresh and elegant character. This middle phase softens the citrus, transforming the scent into something more contemplative and balanced.

The base is a sophisticated blend of cedarwood, patchouli, amber, and musk, grounding the composition with warmth and depth. The woody notes provide an earthy richness, while amber infuses a golden smoothness and musk lends a clean, sensual finish. This lingering dry-down anchors the brightness of the opening with understated complexity, making the fragrance both memorable and mature.
