Rabanne Black XS Los Angeles for Her is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Émilie Coppermann. Black XS Los Angeles for Her opens with Lemon, Bitter Orange, Coconut, and Cranberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Magnolia, Orchid, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Rabanne's Black XS Los Angeles for Her carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it's a pleasant tropical citrus that many find universally appealing, but some are left wanting more given the 'Black XS' branding. A safe crowd-pleaser that struggles to make a big impression.

About

Black XS Los Angeles for Her opens with a vibrant burst of bitter orange, tart cranberry, and zesty lemon, sweetened by an unexpected hint of coconut and tamarind. The heart unfolds into a tropical floral delight, blending orchid and magnolia with a boozy splash of rum and juicy peach. The base settles into a creamy, warm embrace of vanilla, amber, caramel, and a subtle but grounding woody musk, giving it a touch of sensual depth.
