Renata II

I do not have many perfumes in my arsenal— certainly not enough to build comparisons, but Renata II is undebatably a very unique scent. From the first spray to the dry-down, its depth and complexity makes it a fan favourite, even with avid citrus haters! The citrus accord in Renata II lasts throughout the first spray and dry-down, although the general scent profile shifts more towards a sweet, sweet mocktail on a sunny day. This is the perfect summer scent for someone who dislikes the 'immaturity' of certain fruity, tropical perfumes. The sillage on this thing can only be described as insane (for its price point; I've purchased it for the equivalent of $16) - It 'bursts' out at consistent intervals for the first hour or so— but the fire tames down into a warm spark. The bitter orange, paired with the vanilla, create a sort of cream soda-like cloud engulfing anyone nearby, in the best way possible. Not too sweet— bearably so. I believe layering this with a sweet, almost gourmand scent would create the combo of the Scentury.
