Black XS
by Olivier Cresp , Christian Dussoulier , Rosendo Mateu
Rabanne Black XS is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Olivier Cresp, Christian Dussoulier, and Rosendo Mateu. Black XS opens with Lemon and Sage, settles into a heart of Cardamom, Cinnamon, Tolu Balsam, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Rosewood, and Ambergris. Rabanne's Black XS carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
A legendary noughties fragrance, Black XS is a sweet, dark, and playful scent that's loved by many for its unique 'strawberry milkshake' vibe. Ignore the whiners, this one's a classic - but be warned, performance issues with newer batches mean you should hunt down a vintage if you can.
