Renaissance opens fresh, a little bit tart with the lime and the mint. Then, you get a floral and powdery scent, musk, patchouli and cedar.

Too complex for what I look for in a fresh/citrus. Quality blend, but doesn’t seem to be anything that would justify the price for a soapy.

Nothing special. Basic citrus scent. I think there are much cheaper alternatives on the market.

Citrus-forward with gentle florals, cooling mint with fresh cedar as it dries down. My fave mint scent, but the performance is subpar.

Love at first sniff and has instantly become a summer staple for me. Lemony, mandarin, minty and creamy. Trip to the Amalfi Coast anyone?

Citrus fireworks
What a great fireworks display ! Citrus notes shimmer in the sky: look at this bright bergamot ! Here is a green and bitter grapefruit followed by a juicy orange and tangy lemons ! The citrus sparkles mirror in the waters of the maritime lake, surrounded by fragrant flowers and woods.
Renaissance is a fresh, aromatic and woody fragrance. It is really easy to wear and refined. The mint note brings a nice twist to this harmonious fragrance. I used to share it with my husband. Now the bottle is empty, looking for another one that would be my own ;)

Best summer smells
Renaissance opens with one of the most beautiful citrus chord i have encountered. Sparkling bergamot brightened by lemon and with a touch of green bitterness from petit grain. On my skin and to my nose, Lemon, bergamot, cedarwood, and mint are the most prominent notes, and I just gets hints of lily of the valley, tangerine or musk. I don't get amber and rose. My only complaint is that a few times, in the opening and the heart of the fragrance, I felt like it smells a little like bug spray. It's a very bitter scent, and even though it has a soft underlying sweetness, it can get tricky. Longevity and sillage are both moderate on me.

Una joya cítrica elegante para verano
Renasseance es junto con Torino21 mi perfume cítrico fresco favorito de Xerjoff.

(No incluyo Fiero y Mefisto Gentiluomo por pertenecer a la libia de casamorati)

Perfume 100% al estilo italiano fresco,vigorizante, elegante y para ser un cítrico tiene una gran duración solo superado en proyección por Torino21 antes mencionado. El de este Renasseance en la salida, podemos encontrar rápidamente un golpe cotrico de limón,naranja y bergamota al cabo del poco rato con el secado, sale su parte de naranja, mezclada con el limón y la bergamota, estando siempre presente la menta pero sin ser punzante siempre que te viene una ráfaga de aire o hueles la estela de este perfume te da la sensación de saborear en tu boca un rico refresco casero estilo limonada pero con naranja y ese punto de menta. En mí yo percibo de vez en cuando un leve toque de rosa, que aunque sea muy leve yo se lo percibo, al contrario de Torino21 este Perfume sí que lo veo solamente para primavera,otoño y verano a no ser que lo quieras disfrutar para ti en casa después de una ducha, en la transición de otoño frío entrando a invierno nunca sienta mal ponerse este perfume en estas dos últimas estaciones para oler a hombre pulcro después de una ducha.
En cuanto a rango de edad para usar este perfume, yo no creo que los perfumes tengan un rango de edad, pero si es verdad que este Renaseance puede ser más del gusto de un público más maduro aunque soy de la creencia de que esto de la madurez está en la mentalidad de cada uno.
Renasseance ideal para quedar bien en primavera y verano sin tener que pensar mucho en que perfume escoger de tu colección en cualquier día de estas estaciones.
Recomendado 100% si te gustan los perfumes cítricos, pulcros y frescos.

Duración: 8/10
Proyección: 7/10
Estela: 8/10

Renaissance, a beautiful sunrise.
From my window I can only see a beautiful sunrise, in wich under a blue sky I can see a wonderful field of showy lemmon and orange trees, bathed in the first warm rays of the sun. The lemons and oranges, all of them, tender and ripe, shine harmoniously.
Small sprouts of fresh grass and mint create a velvety green carpet and, to my surprise, someone very kind has taken the time tí gently embellish this carpet with delicate rose petals and lilies of the valley.
And on the horizon, right where this beautiful field ends and as if It were a painting, I can see drawn a forest of Young cedars and tender patchouli buds.

Renaissance is a beautiful dawn, full off golden and citrus light, a sparkling, crystalline and also make It warm and very welcoming, with an elegant and sophisticate air.

From my sesensory experience, I can assure you that the citrus in this aroma awakens my salivary glands. This has never happened to me with any citrus aroma, wich has greatly and pleasantly surprised me, and makes this aroma very especial, at least, for me, since where I live there are plenty of lemon and orange trees, in addiction, their fruits are very precious, both in perfumery and in gastronomy.

I think that the longevity could be improved, but it's worth having such a beautiful scent in a collection to enyoy it.

Renaissance, a beautiful sunrise that remind you that the sun will shine every day.

A CITRUSY TAKEOFF THAT LANDING ON A CHARMING SEXY DESTINATION

A CITRUSY TAKEOFF THAT LANDING ON A CHARMING SEXY DESTINATION

[1] - Imagine : driving on the road to your destination, hanging out with your best friends of your entire life, everything you see, everything you hear, and everything you come across while you drive toward your destination gives you pleasure, joy, and happiness, finally, when you arrive to your destination, surprisingly, you meet that beautiful, elegant, charming, sexy, sophisticated lady in blind date, this’s how I describe the transitions in actions for RENAISSANCE in the real life.

[2] - The calm and soft touch of the (Tangerine/Mandarin note) in the opening is just the beginning, this note has been used in a genius way, its presence is noticeable, but in a very calm and gentle way, then after about 20 to 40 minutes later, it will start to fade, then a balsamic love touch that appears, to create sexy charming long lasting scent in the dry down, I believe because of patchouli, amber and musk in the base notes.

-
[3] - The transitions process in RENAISSANCE is real, the joy of transitions is remarkable.

[4] - My current philosophy regarding wearing perfumes is : that I wear them to express myself in the first place, and I believe wearing perfumes is an art that is acquired over time with many of experiences … Yes, I want to standout from others, but I am not obsessed with impressing anyone, as much as I avoid to annoy or disturb anyone by the perfume I wear, For me, the issue of perfumes is psychological, mood, taste, and culture that differs from one person to another and from one place to another.

[5] - If you want to stand out from others, I believe that renaissance is what you are looking for. I come from a society that will not often ask you what you are wearing, even the closest people, but from their actions and reactions, you will know immediately. I attended one of the meetings at work, and while one of the officials was speaking, there was A person with us kept turning and looking at me several times. I was afraid that the official speaking would think that I was poking his side with my finger. Yes guys, RENAISSANCE is great unique choice.

[6] - You know what I am thinking now? I'm currently waging a struggle with myself as if I were (Edward Norton in Fight Club) movie, because of the comparison is which is better: Renaissance or Mefisto, they are from different scent vibe, but they are in same Citrusy category, honestly I couldn’t find a way to prefer one them over the other, to this moment.
