Black XS for Her

by Émilie Coppermann , Mark Buxton

Rabanne Black XS for Her is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Émilie Coppermann and Mark Buxton. Black XS for Her opens with Tamarind, Cranberry, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Cacao Pod, and dries down to a base of Massoia, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Rabanne's Black XS for Her carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper ride-or-die for many, but others find it a bit of a meh-fest, a real love-it-or-hate-it kinda scent. It's divisive chatter about a heady, dark sweetness that evokes serious nostalgia for those who wore it back in the day.

Its potent projection, longevity, and dense, dark sweetness make it rather inappropriate for an office environment, as many reviewers note it can be overwhelming. However, this same intensity makes it perfect for dates and evening events due to its sensual and seductive nature, though perhaps a touch too casual for serious formal wear.

About

Black XS for Her kicks off with a punchy, tart blast of cranberry and a hint of pink pepper that quickly mellows into a rich, dusky heart of cacao-laced rose and violet. The dry down is a warm, woody vanilla with an earthy patchouli undertone, keeping it from veering too sweet. It's a complex blend of dark fruits, gourmand notes, and a woody foundation.
