Black XS L'Aphrodisiaque for Men is a bold, sweet, and spicy fragrance with a powerful presence that leans heavily into leather, honey, cinnamon, and praline notes. It opens with a bright, aromatic mix of saffron and cinnamon before settling into a rich, warm heart of honey, orange blossom, and cypress. The base is deeply animalic and leathery, anchored by almond and praline, creating a sensual, sticky sweetness that lingers long after application. Its sillage is immense—not just in projection but in attention—making it a strong choice for nightwear, clubbing, or settings where you want to stand out. Though some find it overly sweet or cloying, most agree it delivers a striking, unforgettable presence that feels modern, masculine, and seductive. Its longevity and sillage are exceptional, making it ideal for evening wear, and despite mixed opinions on its sweetness, it consistently earns praise for its attention-grabbing nature and unique character within the Black XS line.
