Rabanne Black XS L'Exces for Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Black XS L'Exces for Him opens with Lemon and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha and Sea Water, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. Rabanne's Black XS L'Exces for Him carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive, pineapple-heavy flanker that split opinion. Some rave about its sweet, fresh, and dirty pineapple vibe, praising its beastly performance, while others find it too synthetic, cloying, and short-lived. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Its bold and sweet profile, often described as a 'beast' in projection and longevity by fans, makes it unsuitable for professional settings. However, its 'sexy and juicy' appeal, often mentioned by reviewers, makes it a strong contender for date nights and casual outings, especially clubbing.

About

Black XS L'Exces opens with a juicy, almost syrupy, candied pineapple illusion, a trick of the light from lemon and an unlisted note that many perceive as tropical fruit. This sweet burst is quickly underpinned by an intriguing earthy bitterness from cypriol oil, offering a 'dirty' contrast. A fresh marine accord cuts through the sweetness, leading to a warm, woody amber and patchouli base that lingers, providing an alluring depth to its playful exterior.
