by Anne Flipo , Bruno Jovanovic , Caroline Dumur

Rabanne Pure XS Night is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Anne Flipo, Bruno Jovanovic, and Caroline Dumur. The fragrance opens with Ginseng and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Cinnamon, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Caramel and Myrrh.

Our verdict on Pure XS Night: Acquired

A divisive beast of a fragrance. Some swear by its unique caramel-cacao warmth for nights out, but others find its intense sweetness and pronounced ginger-ginseng opening a bit much, veering into 'old man' territory or even 'Chinese herbal medicine'. Try before you buy.

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and sweet, heavy accords make it too much for an office setting where subtlety is key. However, its seductive warmth and good longevity are perfect for date nights and evening casual wear, as many reviews suggest it gets compliments in these contexts. It's too sweet for a formal occasion and certainly not suitable for sport.

About

Pure XS Night opens with a sharp, invigorating hit of ginseng and ginger, an initial blast of spiced energy. This quickly settles into a rich, decadent heart where creamy vanilla, warm cinnamon, and a powdery cacao pod create an alluring, gourmand core. The dry down is particularly enchanting, as a deep, smoky myrrh blends seamlessly with sticky caramel, developing into a seductive, long-lasting sweetness.
