About

Black XS Potion offers a dark, sweet, and woody journey. It opens with a bitter grapefruit zest, quickly deepening into an ambery, powdery rose heart. Sandalwood provides a substantial, grounding base, creating an intriguing blend that’s both familiar and mysteriously unique. It’s a scent that hints at a hidden complexity, with whispers of spicy warmth and a fluid, almost liqueur-like texture.
