Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS Los Angeles for Her EDT
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it's a pleasant tropical citrus that many find universally appealing, but some are left wanting more given the 'Black XS' branding. A safe crowd-pleaser that struggles to make a big impression.

Our Verdict - Noire Romance USA EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Paco Rabanne Black Xs Los Angeles - a citrus fragrance led by Lemon, Tamarind, Cranberry, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black XS Los Angeles for Her

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its refreshing, fruity-floral profile makes it ideal for casual wear and daily use, while its moderate sillage keeps it from being too overwhelming for the office. However, its easy-going nature means it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Noire Romance USA

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
