Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is a divisive one. Fans adore its dark, sweet, and unique character, equating it to a magical potion. Critics find it underwhelming, generic, or too similar to the original, lacking the promised depth.
A budget take on Paco Rabanne Black XS Potion for Her. The tart grapefruit-over-red-rose opening drying into warm amber and black sandalwood captures the original's sexy fruity-oriental contrast; this dupe rounds off some of the sharp chypre edge and gives up some of the Rabanne's big longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and dark, sensual character make it less suitable for office wear. This scent truly shines on dates or special occasions where its unique, bold presence can be fully appreciated, though some find it versatile enough for daily casual wear in colder weather.
Seasons
The warm rose-amber-and-sandalwood oriental is at its best in autumn and winter and feels too heavy and sweet for hot summer days.
Occasions
A sexy, confident fruity-oriental built for evenings, dates and dressier occasions; its richness is a lot for the office or sport.
