Black XS

Black XS by Paco Rabanne is a bold, gourmand-woody fragrance that opens with a bright, synthetic citrus note, reminiscent of a fresh lemon and faintly sweetened with a praline accord. This fruity sweetness quickly evolves into a rich, honeyed-lavender-like body with a prominent patchouli base and subtle rosewood, evoking sensations of warm, sweet woods. The scent is notably sweet and distinct, with strong projections and commendable longevity, especially on clothing. While many users find the experience vibrant, youthful, and attention-grabbing—ideal for night-time activities or intimate encounters—others describe it as cloying, overly synthetic, or aggressively intense. Its performance is often variable, with some stating it fades quickly or turns unappealing after a few hours. Designed as a statement piece, it lacks subtlety but excels in memorability, making it ideal for those who appreciate bold, candy-infused masculine scents, especially if they're drawn to 1 Million’s sweet-forward style.
