Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS EDT
Rabanne's Pure XS is divisive - love it or hate it. It's a playful, sweet, boozy vanilla that some find unique and others utterly generic, but it’s undoubtedly a magnet for attention, if only for its curious 'cola' vibe.
Statement
Our Verdict - 241 Pure XS For Him EDP
No. 241 mirrors Rabanne's Pure XS For Him vanilla-leather-spice formula fairly closely on paper, but the projection is louder and sharper up front while the sultry, boozy depth of the original fades much sooner on skin.
