DUA FRAGRANCES Victorian
Xerjoff, renowned for their bold oud fragrances, took a different path with 1861 Renaissance, a fragrance that captivates with its vibrant freshness and irresistible spirit. The top notes of bergamot and lime pay homage to its Italian origins, while the middle notes of rose and mint sustain the brightness with a floral touch. This olfactory creation masterfully embodies the landscape and terrain of Italy. The fragrance concludes with a base of cedar, underscored by amber and musk, symbolizing the journey's end.
In tribute to this masterpiece, Dua presents "Victorian," an expression that stays true to the homeland. Like a renaissance painting capturing its era, "Victorian" is a fragrant embodiment of an unforgettable period.

I don't get any mint, just tonnes of citrus?!
It's like they took one of every citrus thing in the whole world and stirred them up together with a little sweetness. Lemon drops in perfume form.
If you like gourmand type perfumes but would prefer citrus to vanilla, this is the one.
This has all the hallmarks of a Xerjoff freshie. It's extremely bright to the point of being dazzling (think Nio and Kobe, or their Dua counterparts Matrix and Zeus), it has that piercing green freshness, it has a noticeable mint that smells like the plant and not like a toothpaste or confectionery, and it has a musky woody base. There's not really any sweetness unless you count the sharp citruses, and this is a performance MONSTER! Seriously, this is without any shadow of a doubt the longest lasting freshie that I own or have ever worn. Projection-wise it is very good, although there are caramel and patchouli monsters that outperform it in that aspect (looking at you, Perverso and T-Rex), but in terms of longevity I was still able to detect this on my skin nearly 24 hours after applying it. Quite how they've done that with a fresh zingy citrus scent I have absolutely no idea, but when it smells this good I'm definitely not complaining!
