Black XS (2018)

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper polariser; a love-it-or-hate-it spicy aromatic with a divisive cannabis kick. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, others a cloying, dated mess. You'll either love its sexy, addictive pull or find yourself scrubbing it off with a vengeance.
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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong, long-lasting nature and seductive character make it perfect for date nights and evening events. While some find it versatile, for office or gym wear, it's generally too bold and assertive, commanding rather than blending in.
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.
