by Paco Rabanne
Black XS Potion for Him by Paco Rabanne offers a refined, woody-sweet reinterpretation of the iconic Black XS fragrance. It opens with a crisp juniper and fresh spicy note, transitioning into a warm, amber-rich heart dominated by rum and labdanum, with subtle woody and fruity accords. The dry-down reveals a mature, slightly sweet-woody character, evoking a velvety, effervescent warmth reminiscent of spiced rum or mulled wine. While not drastically different in structure from the original Black XS, it feels more elegant and balanced, with less synthetic sharpness and a more harmonious, cohesive scent profile. The perfume performs best in cooler seasons—autumn and winter—and is ideal for nightwear, date nights, or club settings due to its intimate but memorable presence. Many users report excellent longevity, with some experiencing up to 24 hours, particularly on clothing, and decent sillage that leans moderate to strong if worn generously.
