Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS EDT
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pure XS - 647 EDP
No. 647 nails Pure XS's hot-and-cold ginger-versus-vanilla trick and the boozy cinnamon-myrrh warmth, but it loses some of the original's incense-like churchy depth and settles into a simpler sweetness sooner.
