Blossom Perfumery 241 Pure XS For Him is an Eau de Parfum. 241 Pure XS For Him opens with Green, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Leather, Cinnamon, Vanilla, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Sugar, Cedar, Patchouli, and Myrrh. Blossom Perfumery's 241 Pure XS For Him carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

No. 241 mirrors Rabanne's Pure XS For Him vanilla-leather-spice formula fairly closely on paper, but the projection is louder and sharper up front while the sultry, boozy depth of the original fades much sooner on skin.

About

No. 241 is styled after Rabanne's Pure XS For Him, opening with the same fizzy ginger, grapefruit and green-accord rush that gives the original its confident, unmistakable entrance. The heart brings vanilla, cinnamon, leather and a touch of boozy apple together for a rich, spicy warmth, following the source's structure closely. The base of cedar, myrrh, sugar and patchouli aims for Pure XS's magnetic, skin-hugging trail, but comes across brighter and less resinous, with the vanilla-spice combination losing its depth within a few hours rather than lasting into the night. It's a decent stand-in for the opening hour of the original, best kept for evening wear where its initial punch has room to shine before it settles.
