Which Should You Buy?
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.
Keeps Pure XS's ginger-cinnamon-cashmeran spine, but adds a boozy liquor-apple-leather heart the original doesn't have, landing sweeter and more gourmand.
