XJ 1861 Renaissance

XJ 1861 Renaissance is a sharply defined citrus aromatic fragrance with a vibrant opening of fresh Amalfi lemon, tangerine, bergamot, and petitgrain, creating an intense, vivid burst of citrus that feels both natural and refreshing. This vibrant phase is short-lived, quickly evolving into a complex, layered drydown where mint is present but evolves into a deeper, softer green and herbal character. The heart introduces lily-of-the-valley and rose, adding a delicate floral nuance, while the base settles into a warm, slightly powdery amber and musk foundation with subtle cedar and patchouli, giving the fragrance a subtle depth and warmth that distinguishes it from typical summer scents. The performance is consistently praised for its above-average longevity and moderate-to-strong projection, with many users noting at least 8 hours on skin and a lasting, skin-scent level presence for up to 12 hours. The overall impression is that of high-quality, natural ingredients—exactly how it is intended to be, with a focus on purity and realism, especially for those who appreciate fresh, green, and citrus-forward compositions with thoughtful, nuanced transitions.
