Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper ride-or-die for many, but others find it a bit of a meh-fest, a real love-it-or-hate-it kinda scent. It's divisive chatter about a heady, dark sweetness that evokes serious nostalgia for those who wore it back in the day.
No.072 chases the tart cranberry-tamarind opening and rose-cacao heart of Black XS for Her, landing close on the fruity-gourmand character but rendering the woody vanilla base noticeably flatter and less lingering than Rabanne's original.

Its potent projection, longevity, and dense, dark sweetness make it rather inappropriate for an office environment, as many reviewers note it can be overwhelming.
