What does Renaissance smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, daytime and leisure wear lead, and it also gets chosen for the office. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though it stays unisex in spirit.

The top is fresh and lightly fruity, built from mandarin orange, lemon, bergamot and petitgrain. Mint, lily of the valley and rose add a floral, green coolness in the heart. The base of cedarwood, patchouli, musk and amber settles into a woody, softly sweet finish. Bois 1920 Scorzaforza and Al Haramain Neroli Canvas have a close profile.
