A beautiful, modern, and sexy fragrance to feel powerful, especially for summer. It’s a very modern citrus, super refreshing for any occasion. The lemon, mint, and herbal grapefruit notes are the most natural and delicious there are. The longevity is beastly: it lasts all day for me and pleases the opposite sex. Undoubtedly a marvel.
A fragrance of another level, with more natural and powerful citrus than I’ve perceived in this family. The rose, patchouli, and musk feel wonderful. In terms of longevity and projection, it far surpasses any designer citrus (Hermes, Chanel, Guerlain, etc.). Excellent for summer, it’s striking, you get compliments, and with proper application you easily get 12-13 hours with a great trail. I’ve used others from this house and believe the high price is justified by the quality. I give it an unquestionable 10.
Excellent quality, but… Renaissance sounds too much like Guerlain (like L’Instant, which is Guerlain Homme with mint at the start). Naturally, there are nuances: in the opening, Xerjoff fans out while Guerlain hits hard; as it dries down, Renaissance is musky and Guerlain more earthy. They are very similar, impossible not to think of the other. It lasts over 9 hours on my skin, but the trail and projection are very low; after half an hour, it drops to skin scent. Even though I applied generously (10 sprays followed by 6 more). Given that Guerlain is of high quality (alongside Heritage, it’s among the best in history) and has better projection and shorter longevity, in my case Xerjoff doesn’t justify the huge price difference.
What a fragrance! I consider it unisex and of high quality. Xerjoff has won my heart once again.
In short, it smells like freshly peeled orange and green tree leaves. It doesn’t list vetiver but gives that green, earthy sensation. It fits the line of Green Irish Tweed by Creed: timeless but suited to warm climates, ideal as a signature scent (though it is a little pricey).
One of the best citrus fragrances with outstanding quality and longevity. Very elegant, versatile, and energising; it conveys joy and lifts your mood. From the first spray, you know it’s a long-lasting one. Once again, this niche house delivers a ‘wow’; Xerjoff doesn’t disappoint, and so far they are the best in the brand’s range.
Given the notes and the numerous reviews, I almost bought it blind, expecting a great summer scent, but I regretted it and opted for a decant instead. It doesn’t smell fresh or summery; it becomes dense, has a hint of anise that I dislike, and ultimately smells like old man’s talcum powder. 2/10.
A true ode to Italian culture. Renaissance is the olfactive spectrum of Northern Italy, where the Renaissance was born. When I discovered it, I went crazy for the notes I love, including lemon. On a trip to Italy, my first impression was disappointing: freshly applied, it smells of lemon, mandarin and mint. I expected sour, bitter citrus like the zest, but the lemon turns out sweet (like Amalfi lemon, which I didn’t know), and when mixed with mint, it gives the sensation of biting into a mandarin after brushing your teeth. However, over time, it becomes addictive. As it dries, that sweet, mentholated citrus blends with a powdery base of rose, lily and the clean, dusty foundation of Xerjoff that I detect in almost all their fragrances. As a citrus, its longevity on my skin was good, lasting up to eight hours before fading. It evokes a dawn in Florence with marble statues in the mist and cold. It wears excellently with formal and semi-formal attire. I liked it, but not as much as I expected.
Citrusy and distinguished. Key notes: bergamot, mint, petit grain, cedar, and musk. The sensation is like peeling a lemon and smelling that white pith: bitter-citrus with a classic, elegant dry-down. I’d say it’s for people over 30, unisex, and experienced with niche perfumery. Alongside Naxos, it’s the best of the 1861 line; it’s not in my top 10 of Xerjoff, but it’s very pleasant.
What a delight! One of the most potent citrus scents I’ve ever tried. I adore its naturalness and quality, plus it has incredible longevity for something so fresh and volatile. Out of all the Xerjoff fragrances I’ve tested, this is my favourite. It has a touch of Nio, but without that neroli floral heaviness that I don’t like. Renaissance features exquisite citrus notes (mandarin, lemon, bergamot), mint, petit grain (that green leafy orange vibe), and a musk base that rounds everything off beautifully. Yes, it’s expensive, and if you don’t get the style, you won’t understand it. I wear it without a doubt: it transports me to the countryside, to childhood, it feels positive and energetic, and the performance justifies the price. It’s more masculine but unisex and ageless.
If you’re new to fragrances and want to smell a quality citrus without breaking the bank, buy a decant and treat yourself to an olfactory experience.
It’s very similar to Uden, but without the woody note; they’ve swapped it for fresh green accords. It’s a musky citrus, smelling of the classic lemon drop. That’s it. It doesn’t lend itself to lengthy descriptions; it’s simple and a bit dull, but for summer when you don’t know what to wear, it saves the day. Within the brand, Renaissance, Uden and Torino 21 are derivatives: same dog, different collar. Nio and Kobe do stand apart because they don’t bet everything on citrus; their green and floral tones are sublime. Those are definitely references worth noting.
In short, it’s a safe bet. The quality is far superior to any designer citrus.
Renaissance, alongside Torino 21, is my favourite fresh citrus from Xerjoff. It is 100% Italian style: fresh, revitalising and elegant. As a citrus, it has excellent longevity, only surpassed in projection by Torino 21. At first, it hits with lemon, orange and bergamot; then the orange blends with lemon and bergamot, always with a mint note that isn’t sharp. As it passes or you catch the trail, it tastes like a homemade lemonade with orange and mint. Sometimes I detect a subtle touch of rose. Unlike Torino 21, this is best for spring, autumn and summer, or for wearing at home after a shower in autumn/winter to smell crisp and clean. I don’t believe perfumes have an age, but this suits a mature audience, though maturity is mental. Ideal for spring and summer without overthinking. Highly recommended 100% if you like crisp, fresh citrus. Longevity: 8/10, Projection: 7/10, Sillage: 8/10
One of the most spectacular citrus scents I’ve heard. It opens with ultra-realistic citrus and a sweet touch of orange or tangerine. As it dries, it gradually becomes greener, reminding me of Nishane’s Wulong Cha. It happens with Alexandra II too: the opening delights me, but the dry down is less appealing. Nevertheless, the spectacle is extraordinary, pure beauty.
I largely agree with Nivek’s review. It doesn’t smell citrusy, elegant, natural, or fresh. To me, it smells adult, like an old man’s street perfume, reminiscent of outdated talcum powder. I dislike it entirely. I’m sorry.
PS, neither Vitodito nor Nivek know anything about perfume; they bought a pirate or a tianguis clone. It’s very citrusy at first, but after 1-2 hours the intensity drops and it feels floral, a bit muddled as they say, but rich. Nothing like ‘grandpa’ 🤣🤣
The citrus opening is a 10. As it dries down, it becomes increasingly green; after 20-30 minutes, the citrus fades and it feels very natural. I don’t detect the rose. It is elegant and natural.
For me, Xerjoff is king of that pseudo-luxury where marketing doesn’t quite match the substance. It’s not forbidden, but it’s certainly not cheap: you need a fat wallet to properly test their jewels. It was hot, making Renaissance ideal for testing. JX 1861 doesn’t smell dated despite its vintage; it opens with round, greenish citrus and bitter notes. Unlike others, the dry-down doesn’t fade quickly, blending into non-sweet florals and closing with a serious yet appropriate base. It’s animated, subtle, realistic, and slightly artificial, airy and refreshing with herbs. It’s worth it for those who like dry, woody, green citrus. It’s a good product, not a masterpiece; I prefer Nishane’s citrus, but I’ll keep exploring the house.
For me, Renaissance should be the first perfume from Xerjoff, above Naxos, which I find more complex but with more hype. Renaissance is a well-rounded citrus of high quality, supported by greens and florals, lasting much longer than any other house. It is very well received, gets many compliments, and is too versatile: summer, spring, autumn, night. It projects well in the first hours, lasts an eternity, and makes you feel energetic. For me a 10/10, and for anyone who enjoys the green-floral combo, it is their definitive perfume.
For those who know fragrances, this is the best of the Xerjoff line. Do not let yourself be swayed by the TikTok or Instagram image; this is the true masterpiece. Longevity is 10/10 for a citrus, and its dry down is a citrus with that super elegant cedar.
It arrived together with a Torino 21 and they are very similar. Three key notes: citrus, mint, and greens. The difference is the intensity: Torino is more minty, while Renaissance is more citrusy. Perhaps one wants what the other lacks, as Renaissance pleased me more at first sniff. However, as it dries, Renaissance changes into something I do not like due to the rose, whereas Torino becomes pure mint. I will know if it is worth a bottle with wear, but the opening is the best.
Renaissance is a vigorous citrus-floral perfume, extremely realistic and of impressive quality. It opens with juicy, sweet, and slightly bitter bergamot, lemon, and orange, evoking the citrus peel, as if you were cutting them. There is also a very refreshing and green mint note at the start. As it dries, the citrus loses its juiciness and leaves the scent of the peel, before the white flowers, rose, and musk emerge. This dry down is softer, green, and floral, transporting me to a sunny day in a garden with a white shirt. Charming, with a sophisticated Italian vibe. Lasts five to seven hours with moderate projection.
A perfume that exudes quality everywhere. Intensely citrus-green in the opening and heart, and woody-citrus in the base. Italian quality for men aged thirty and above. Ideal for spring and summer. Good longevity of seven hours for a citrus and decent projection of an hour and a half. Highly recommended if you have the money to treat yourself. Rating: 9/10.
Sweet dry down and a sparkly opening. Evolves towards woody and floral notes. Projection, trail, and longevity are moderate. I have tried more interesting and luminous citrus scents. Exaggerated price for what it offers. Try before you buy.
In my opinion, the aroma is pleasant without being over the top. Very refreshing and summery. The citrus opening is powerful and lovely, accompanied by mint and a green accord, an energising daytime scent. The problem arises during the dry down: as the citrus evaporates, the green notes persist and the second face emerges, a musky and woody fragrance without personality. The scent doesn’t kill me and it is a niche price, but the performance is a disgrace. Two hours and it’s gone. A disaster.
Without a doubt, the best citrus scent I have tried. It releases super realistic, natural, and delicious citrus notes that are energising and quite long-lasting. A fresh, sharp, and revitalising opening that went crazy on me instantly, followed by a white floral base that initially held me back due to the price. It is one of those fragrances you wish wouldn’t evolve, but after trying dozens of citrus scents that seem synthetic or last a mere breath, I have given in. This Xerjoff gem is superior. The yellow/green part lasts about three hours and the base five to six. High projection at first, then in the personal bubble. Lasts more than a day on clothes. I enjoy wearing it after a shower in my pyjamas; the scent lingers until the next day, a true gift.
On the opening, the perfumer has hit the ceiling; you cannot go further with realism in citrus. Within a few minutes, that acidic spark fades and classic green mint emerges, maintaining naturalness alongside cedar and a slight amber touch, all woven finely as always with Xerjoff.
Very good. Fresh, with lemon, orange, and soft, realistic herbs that are quite subtle and noticeable only up close. Then it adds a clean soapy touch, similar to Prada L’Homme, which lasts the whole time, like fresh grass with orange and a hint of talcum powder, all very well integrated. A delight. Similar to the fresh flankers from Prada, but without projecting much, just within your personal bubble.
Excellent fragrance. I prefer its use for formal occasions: work meetings, conferences, weddings, or going to the office in a suit, shirt, and tie, on a fresh spring day. Although the sillage is not wide, every now and then the bursts revive the aroma, providing a revitalising and tranquilising sensation.
A fascinating opening with a vibrant, sparkling citrus explosion, but well-balanced with mastery. A burst of natural vitality that captures my attention with its cleanliness. The distinctive note emerges a little later, in that ‘green’ part which is not mint but unequivocally fresh coriander. Far from being discordant, I am fascinated by it. It takes me to an olfactory synaesthesia: Renaissance is a perfect ‘ceviche’ perfume. It evokes vitality, spicy freshness, and the shine of an exquisite ceviche, a stimulating and refreshing pleasure. The EDP is very well made, with authentic ingredients and no synthetic notes that detract from the experience. An entertaining dance of contrasts. In terms of longevity, it is not huge; after two hours it no longer sends out bursts, suggesting short duration. But it is not a flaw. Like a good ceviche, it is enjoyed at its optimal point; I value the quality of the experience in the moment, not forced permanence. In fact, I hope it does not last all day; that is part of the charm. Ideal for hot days, spring, and summer, providing revitalising freshness. In my view, totally unisex, perfect for anyone seeking citrus vitality with a touch of distinction. Beyond the cost per hour, I find a pleasant experience and mastery in its composition.
I bought a sample recently and uaaah, one of my favourite citrus scents. On my skin, I feel it is unisex, leaning towards feminine. As my scent is fruity and I have hydrated skin, it becomes slightly warm without losing freshness. The rose, mint, and herbal touch feel ethereal and caressing. The base lasts hours on me. Wonderful fragrance, I am in love. Ideal for daily wear, open spaces, or indoors. Better performance in warm weather, contrasting the citrus and sparkling notes with a bit of warmth. Creamy at the end.
It reminds me of Bohemian Lime, where the incense calms the lime there, whereas here it is the mint that balances an astronomical blast of bergamot. A perfume for a relaxed mood, almost curative.
A citrus cologne where a superb lemon greets you. The mint is not as prominent as in the Torino 21, but it gives that fresh, masculine, and elegant touch. It is a bit more mature, with more body and nuances than the Torino 21. It smells clean and soapy, suitable for a good suit although its habitat is summer; it has enough creaminess to be used on less warm days. Slightly ambered as it dries down, which gives it versatility. Good longevity and projection. It is a classic Italian cologne, with great aromatic quality but nothing vintage.
It is citrus, fresh, and clean with that mentholated touch I have always sought. It feels elegant; I see myself wearing it with shorts and an open white shirt at a family reunion, on holiday, or a leisure day in the park with a girl beside me. It suits any activity, even as a signature scent. What I like about this niche house is that they put more heart into the presentation, unlike others that sell a competing aroma with designer designs, for example (PdM).
Unpretentious, this is one of the best citrus perfumes I have tried. Top quality, a classic taken to the highest level. It starts with a hyper-realistic lemon, barely sweetened, over a fresh and green base that fits perfectly. As it dries down, it smells clean, mature, and with that soapy touch that makes it delicious. Although I am not a big fan of classics, I recognise that it is timeless and noticeable when worn. Very refreshing and pleasant. If you like citrus, buy a sample before spending the money, as it is expensive. A spectacle.
One of the best citrus and fresh perfumes I have tried. It’s like spending hours sniffing a lemon peel. I would like more longevity, but I am content with it. It lasts about four hours with moderate sillage. It brings freshness and relief just by smelling it. It’s a WAO on the nose of anyone who smells it. The one I like most from the brand. Highly recommended.
It is the first perfume I bought from the brand. I love citrus and this one has won my heart. On my skin, it does not have much projection, but the base lasts quite a while. It is one of those perfumes you have to pass over several times for it to be noticed a bit more from a distance.
Imagine you are in the Renaissance, standing before a marble table with a basket of lemons, oranges, and bergamot. It smells exactly like that, you know. The lemon is very strong yet soft; I absolutely love it. 10/10.
