Rabanne XS (2018) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Rosendo Mateu and Gérard Anthony. XS (2018) opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mint, settles into a heart of Geranium, Coriander, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Rosemary. Rabanne's XS (2018) carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

XS (2018) is a bit of a mixed bag. Many see it as a decent, budget-friendly alternative to Creed Himalaya, offering a clean, fresh, and masculine vibe. Others find it generic, an underwhelming reformulation of the 90s original, and ultimately forgettable. It's safe, but don't expect fireworks.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of mint, lemon, and bergamot, awakening the senses. This quickly settles into a crisp, green heart of geranium and juniper, creating a clean, almost 'mountain air' freshness. The base finally grounds it in a classic woody blend of sandalwood and oakmoss, with a subtle herbal touch of rosemary, delivering a smooth, refined finish.
