Pure XS

by Anne Flipo , Bruno Jovanovic , Caroline Dumur

Rabanne Pure XS is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Anne Flipo, Bruno Jovanovic, and Caroline Dumur. Pure XS opens with Green, Grapefruit, Bergamot, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Vanilla, Apple, Leather, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cashmeran, Sugar Cane, and Woody. Rabanne's Pure XS carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Rabanne's Pure XS is divisive - love it or hate it. It's a playful, sweet, boozy vanilla that some find unique and others utterly generic, but it’s undoubtedly a magnet for attention, if only for its curious 'cola' vibe.

Its sweet, boozy, and often strong projection makes it less suitable for office or formal settings. However, it shines on dates and casual nights out, where its playful and attention-grabbing character can be fully appreciated.

About

Pure XS kicks off with a lively, fresh burst of bergamot and grapefruit, perked up by a spicy ginger zing. This quickly mellows into a heart of smooth vanilla and boozy liquor, spiced with cinnamon and a hint of apple. The dry down is a warm, enveloping embrace of patchouli, cashmeran, and a touch of myrrh, with a lingering sweetness of sugar cane. Think vanilla cola with a sophisticated twist.
