Rabanne 2016 EDT
Black XS Los Angeles for Him
Rabanne Black XS Los Angeles for Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Olivier Cresp. Black XS Los Angeles for Him opens with Lemon, Orange, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, Cinnamon, Apple, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Coumarin. Rabanne's Black XS Los Angeles for Him carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This flanker for Black XS is a divisive one, with some finding it a fresh, orange-led alternative to the original, while others dismiss it as an unremarkable, 'aftershave' scent. It's a grower for some, so don't write it off on the first sniff.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh citrus and moderate projection make it suitable for casual wear and even office settings, as long as it's not over-sprayed. The fruity-sweet and woody dry-down lends itself well to evening dates, particularly in warmer weather.
