Xerjoff
Renaissance
“The quiet confidence of a Florentine tailor — no flourish, pure craft.”
Xerjoff's 2011 launch in the Casamorati line — the brand's elegant citrus-floral niche for office and daytime wear. A citrus-green-aromatic unisex fragrance with Amalfi lemon, tangerine, and bergamot at the top, a mint-lily-of-the-valley-rose heart, and a musk-Virginia cedar-patchouli-amber base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, with moderate projection.

- ●Smooth high-quality citrus that holds up across hours
Trade-offs
- ●Conservative composition — lacks Xerjoff's signature drama
- ●Premium price for a profile other niche houses cover for less
