Dark Brew Mix For Women

Dark Brew Mix chases Paco Rabanne's Black XS Potion for Her, a limited-edition fruity-oriental built on an unexpected contrast. It opens tart and zesty with bright grapefruit, the sour citrus that gives the scent its bite. The heart is its hook - a deep red Baccara rose laced with dusky hellebore flower, sweet-and-sour and faintly powdery where the grapefruit's sharpness meets the rose's sweetness. The drydown turns sexy and warm: black sandalwood and amber, smooth and a little resinous, the part reviewers call the most seductive. Where the original starts as a sharp chypre before mellowing into a long-lasting, room-filling oriental, this dupe softens that initial sourness, reads slightly flatter through the rose, and projects more modestly with shorter wear. It remains a confident, sexy fruity-rose oriental - bold and a touch flirtatious - that suits cooler-weather evenings, an affordable budget stand-in for the Rabanne.
