Blossom Perfumery 111 Black XS is an Eau de Parfum. 111 Black XS opens with Lemon and Sage, settles into a heart of Cardamom, Cinnamon, Tolu Balsam, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Rosewood. Blossom Perfumery's 111 Black XS carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

No. 111 leans hard on the same cinnamon-cardamom-praline heart and rosewood-amber base that made Black XS a noughties clubbing staple, but the opening is thinner and the drydown fades faster - a louder, cheaper echo rather than a rival.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Blossom Perfumery's No. 111 chases Paco Rabanne's Black XS with the same spicy-sweet skeleton: a crisp lemon and sage opening gives way to a praline, cinnamon and black cardamom heart warmed by tolu balsam, before settling into rosewood, black amber and patchouli. Where the original builds a slow, layered sensuality, this dupe front-loads the sweetness and spice for instant impact, then thins out within a couple of hours. It captures the mood - dark, spicy, a little dangerous - well enough for a night out, but projection tails off fast and the base never develops the same smoky depth. A fair budget stand-in for testing whether the Black XS profile suits you before committing to the original.
