Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS EDP
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.

Our Verdict - Black XS for Her EDT
This one's a proper ride-or-die for many, but others find it a bit of a meh-fest, a real love-it-or-hate-it kinda scent. It's divisive chatter about a heady, dark sweetness that evokes serious nostalgia for those who wore it back in the day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black XS

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its intimate sillage and seductive, dark profile mean it's ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement without overpowering. However, its perceived weakness by some users makes it less suitable for formal settings requiring strong projection, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.

Black XS for Her

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection, longevity, and dense, dark sweetness make it rather inappropriate for an office environment, as many reviewers note it can be overwhelming. However, this same intensity makes it perfect for dates and evening events due to its sensual and seductive nature, though perhaps a touch too casual for serious formal wear.
