This one's a mixed bag, love-it-or-hate-it. Some find it a sexy, modern rose-oud, others a confusing mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works with your chemistry, it's a keeper.

About

Black XS Be a Legend by Rabanne opens with a rich, slightly powdery blend of rose and saffron, hinting at a deep, exotic floral. The heart unfolds with an earthy patchouli, providing a grounding darkness. This then settles into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla and the soft, woody dryness of amyris, creating a sensual and subtly spicy trail. It's a journey from vibrant florals to a comforting, woody base.
