Xerjoff Renaissance Review – Just Summer In A Bottle – YSK

Hey guys! It’s Kayden back with another fragrance review! Today, I’m going to talk about one of my top 3 summer fragrances, Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance. The 1861 line is one of the cheapest Xerjoff perfumes you can buy, but surprisingly, one of their best. For your information, Xerjoff’s fragrances are unisex so both genders can wear this.

Its top notes are: Amalfi lemon, tangerine, bergamot and petitgrain

Middle notes: mint, rose, lily-of-the-valley

Base notes: amber, musk, patchouli, cedar
