Which Should You Buy?
This updated Black XS is a polarising beast. Some rave about its playful sweetness and mass-appealing charm, while others lament its weakened performance and what they see as a diluted version of the original. Expect compliments, but don't expect it to last.
A playful citrus-spice that's seen a bit of a glow-up since its launch. Initially dismissed as fleeting and uninspired, some reckon it opens up nicely, especially in the heat. Don't expect miracles, but for a cheapie, it holds its own.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet, playful nature and limited longevity make it less suitable for formal or office settings. It excels in casual and date scenarios where its charming, approachable scent can be appreciated up close, especially for younger wearers.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its fresh and light profile, coupled with reports of average projection and longevity, make it ideal for casual wear or the gym. While suitable for office, its lack of gravitas limits its use for formal events or a date night where you want to make a lasting impression.
