Charming and austere fragrance from the trading house Paco Rabanne XS has long become a classic. But frank "machism" is not in fashion now, and therefore in 2005 the brand introduced a modernized version of the cult composition - Black XS perfume. The composition is unusually interesting: dual, it opens up like a chest, revealing new and unknown depths of character. This is the aroma of a bright individuality - a man who is not going to be a prisoner of social stereotypes. The "black" aura of the perfume and the bottle with the "tattoo" seem to emphasize the nonconformity of its owner.
However, the owner of the perfume Paco Rabanne Black XS does not belong to the subculture at all. The composition reveals underlined masculine aromas of citrus fruits: Calabrian lemon, calamanzi fruit (Philippine lime), as well as herbaceous-woody notes of cognac marigolds, bitter sage. However, the first impression passes, and here it is - the secret"Black" XS is powerfully revealed in the warm caramel sound of praline, patchouli, cinnamon, cardamom and tolu balm. The author of the remake of the classic XS, Olivier Cresp, created the image of a man who is sensual, passionate, sexy, soft and soulful.
In the trail of the composition, tart woody notes with an expressive “black” color vibrate, fading away: Brazilian rosewood, ambergris, Nubian ebony, softened by amber echoes of patchouli. In the base of Black XS, someone hears tobacco accents, someone hears a hint of white musk, but in general, the fragrance gives the impression of a spicy-oriental one. Fresh cologne notes of citrus do not linger for long - they only refresh with the first gust of wind, to then give way to the sound of more feminine and softer melodies. This perfume was created for a man who is not afraid to reveal the intimate side of his nature to the most beloved and close people.
Based on this, it is customary to give Black XS to husbands and lovers: voluminous warmth with the aroma of tobacco evokes too frank associations with a naked male torso to give this perfume to a boss, colleagues or brother. Even the bottle, which basically repeats the shape of the classic XS, is decorated with an intimate tattoo in the form of a Gothic inscription and roses with thorns.
In order not to deprive the beautiful half of humanity, the fashion house in 2007 developed a feminine version of the perfume - Paco Rabanne Black XS for Her. As befits a pair of spirits, these also carry a black charm. But it manifests itself especially, in a feminine way: oriental floral shades of dark crimsonroses, black violet and cocoa. The sweetness of seduction is enhanced by the magical woody aromas of cashmere, hellebore, vanilla and patchouli. To keep the smell from being too heavy, it is refreshed by splashes of fruit – juicy and sweet.
In 2012, a jazz interpretation on the theme of women's XS was released - Black XS L'Exces for Her Paco Rabanne. Black pepper with neroli floats over heart notes of cactus blossom and a bouquet of jasmine and rose. The base of the composition is oriental and sweet: cashmere and vanilla. This rose elixir represents a modern image of femininity and attraction - magical, unbridled, liberated. The trail of the fragrance makes the hearts of men beat faster, because the mixture of black vanilla, patchouli and masoya wood is a real aphrodisiac. Eau de toilette, lotions and deodorant sticks have been released for adherents of this fragrance.
