Which Should You Buy?
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.
Eden's No.169 leans into Paco Rabanne Pure XS for men's boozy, spiced character - liquor, ginger and cinnamon over a myrrh-cedar base - a strong, warm evening scent, though the original's nutty, petrol-tinged edge doesn't come through as clearly.
