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.

This is Divain's version of Paco Rabanne's Black XS, the gourmand-oriental built around a praline-cinnamon heart. The sweet, spicy core translates well and the patchouli-amber base is a fair match, but the dupe's smoky Tolu balsam facet is thinner than Black XS's darker, more resinous original, softening the rock-and-roll edge.
