XJ 1861 Renaissance unfolds as a luminous bouquet, where the vibrant freshness of citrus takes center stage—featuring notes of tangerine, Calabrian bergamot, lemon, and petit grain. Its heart reveals a translucent, floral core, blending Bulgarian rose and lily of the valley, enlivened by the crisp dynamism of cold mint. The base anchors the composition with depth and substance, weaving in woody undertones of patchouli and cedar, rounded out by the warm richness of amber and musk to create a harmonious, complete fragrance.
