Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS EDT
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.169 Pure XS EDP
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.

Its sweet, boozy, and often strong projection makes it less suitable for office or formal settings. However, it shines on dates and casual nights out, where its playful and attention-grabbing character can be fully appreciated.
