Rabanne 2018 EDP
Black XS
by Christian Dussoulier , Olivier Cresp , Rosendo Mateu
Rabanne Black XS is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Christian Dussoulier, Olivier Cresp, and Rosendo Mateu. Black XS opens with Pink Pepper, Cranberry, and Tamarind, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Rose, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Massoia. Rabanne's Black XS carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its intimate sillage and seductive, dark profile mean it's ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement without overpowering. However, its perceived weakness by some users makes it less suitable for formal settings requiring strong projection, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.
