What do reviewers say about Midnight Cafe and XJ 1861 Renaissance?
Some fragrances want to fill the room. Midnight Cafe wants to fill the last two feet around you. Whiskey in the base, coffee in the air, this one earns its reputation by being the one people lean in.Midnight Cafe
The petitgrain in the opening gives this a more serious, less sweet citrus than most. The mint-rose heart is unexpectedly clean and the cedarwood drydown is where it earns its luxury price tag.XJ 1861 Renaissance
