Rabanne 2018 EDP
Black XS (2018)
by Olivier Cresp , Rosendo Mateu
Rabanne Black XS (2018) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Cresp and Rosendo Mateu. Black XS (2018) opens with Marigold, Citrus, Lemon, and Sage, settles into a heart of Cardamom, Cinnamon, Tolu Balsam, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Patchouli, Rosewood, and Ambergris. Rabanne's Black XS (2018) carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.
This updated Black XS is a polarising beast. Some rave about its playful sweetness and mass-appealing charm, while others lament its weakened performance and what they see as a diluted version of the original. Expect compliments, but don't expect it to last.

Best Occasions
Its sweet, playful nature and limited longevity make it less suitable for formal or office settings. It excels in casual and date scenarios where its charming, approachable scent can be appreciated up close, especially for younger wearers.
