Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS EDT
A legendary noughties fragrance, Black XS is a sweet, dark, and playful scent that's loved by many for its unique 'strawberry milkshake' vibe. Ignore the whiners, this one's a classic - but be warned, performance issues with newer batches mean you should hunt down a vintage if you can.
Statement
Our Verdict - 111 Black XS EDP
No. 111 leans hard on the same cinnamon-cardamom-praline heart and rosewood-amber base that made Black XS a noughties clubbing staple, but the opening is thinner and the drydown fades faster - a louder, cheaper echo rather than a rival.
