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.
No.174 leans hard into the praline-and-cinnamon sweetness that made Rabanne's Black XS a cult favourite, trading the original's tightly blended lemon-sage opening for a louder, sweeter one that settles fast into a flatter patchouli-amber base with noticeably shorter legs than the designer version.
