Although known for their daring oud scents, Xerjoff’s 1861 Renaissance stands out as an antithetical release that arrests us with its energetic freshness and addictive exuberance. Victorian is our expression of this masterpiece, and we have chosen not to tread far from the homeland. The top notes of Victorian explode with a citrus triad, Bergamots golden radiance, Limes electric zest, and Mandarins sun-warmed sweetness, like peeling fruit in a Tuscan orchard at dawn. Petit Grain lurks beneath, adding a bitter green edge that keeps it from being too pretty. The heart is where the magic turns; Lily Of The Valley unfolds like crushed petals underfoot, Mint crackles like fresh herbs between stone walls, and Rose blooms decadent but dusty, more Renaissance fresco than fresh bouquet. Then the earth moves: Cedar splits open like aged wine barrels; Patchouli stains the air with its damp cellar richness, while Amber and Musk rise like candle smoke in a palazzo at dusk. Like a renaissance painting that speaks of the time in which it was created, Victorian is the scented expression of an unforgettable era.
