The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Renaissance Man by Chris Collins was created by perfumer Laure Santantoni to capture the essence of a sophisticated traveler who appreciates exclusive experiences. The composition opens with sea notes and ginger, creating an aromatic freshness that is both invigorating and intriguing. This fresh spicy accord gives way to honey and sage, adding layers of warmth and depth before settling into a woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and leather. The tobacco note adds a subtle smokiness, rounding out the fragrance with complexity.
Apply this fragrance in a light layer — the fresh spicy notes are vibrant but brief. The woody and honeyed base notes will develop over time, so it's best to let them build naturally throughout the day. It pairs well with an office environment but can also transition into evening settings.
