Perfumes Zag Zodiak 170 Rabanne Black Xs is an Eau de Parfum. 170 Rabanne Black Xs opens with Lemon and Sage, settles into a heart of Black Cardamom, Cinnamon, Tolu Balsam, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Rosewood. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 170 Rabanne Black Xs carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

170 RX takes Rabanne Black XS's spicy-gourmand amber and simplifies it - the praline-cinnamon heart is there, but the dupe's rosewood-patchouli base fades far quicker than the original's.

Scent Profile

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

170 RX riffs on Rabanne Black XS, opening with lemon and sage before a praline, cinnamon and cardamom heart. Brazilian rosewood, patchouli and amber form the base. The gourmand-spicy character of the original comes through, though at reduced intensity and with a shorter lifespan on skin.
