    What do reviewers say about Eau de Palermo and XJ 1861 Renaissance?

    Built for someone who wants citrus but wants it to mean something. The gin is the tell, it's the opening that separates this from every other fresh fragrance on the market.Eau de Palermo
    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
