About Xerjoff Renaissance

Renaissance is a luxury Xerjoff perfume in every sense. It first launched in 2011 under the simple name “1861,” then relaunched in 2015 as Renaissance at Esxence Milan, within a three-fragrance collection celebrating the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, alongside Naxos and Zefiro. It’s an olfactory tribute to the Italian Renaissance — an era of art, beauty, and innovation.

Xerjoff Renaissance Fragrance Notes

The opening is perhaps the most photorealistic Xerjoff has ever created. Vibrant Amalfi lemon, luminous mandarin, Calabrian bergamot, and petitgrain unfold with explosive freshness. Together, they create an almost edible sensation — like biting into a fresh lemon slice under the Italian sun. However, the heart is where Renaissance truly stands apart. Aromatic mint brings a unique, elegant freshness. As a result, it intertwines with delicate lily-of-the-valley and Bulgarian rose, creating a floral-herbal complexity that surprises and seduces. The base closes with pure Mediterranean warmth: Virginia cedar, patchouli, amber, and musk.

Longevity: A Mixed Picture

Renaissance’s longevity draws mixed opinions. Some reviews report up to 9 hours of trail, while others describe it as more discreet, becoming a skin-close scent after the first 3 hours. To extend its freshness, many wearers recommend spraying it on clothing as well.
