About

XS bursts forth with a sharp, invigorating hit of mint, bergamot and rosemary, underscored by an almost icy, metallic freshness. As it settles, a clean, woody heart of rosewood and juniper emerges, mingling with sage and coriander. The dry down mellows into a classic masculinity, with warm sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and a subtle touch of musk and vanilla providing depth and longevity.
