Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS For Her EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with a divisive popcorn note that's either sexy and unique or sickly sweet and off-putting. If you want to make a statement and stand out, this potent vanilla bomb is for you. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - 386 Pure XS For Her EDP
No. 386 leans into Paco Rabanne's Pure XS For Her gourmand-floral signature - ylang-ylang and a coconut-vanilla heart - but skips the original's signature popcorn-overdose accord, so it reads as a simpler vanilla-musk sweet floral with less of the playful, attention-grabbing quirk.
