Rabanne XS Extreme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Rosendo Mateu and Gérard Anthony. XS Extreme opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Mint, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, Juniper, and Watermelon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Rabanne's XS Extreme carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A sadly forgotten gem, XS Extreme is more complex and grown-up than the original. It's divisive - some love its green, mossy depth, others find it dated, but those who 'get' it rave about its distinguished charm and solid performance. Definitely one for those who appreciate a mature, classic vibe.

About

XS Extreme opens with a fresh, sharp blast of mint and bergamot, uplifted by the green sharpness of petitgrain. The heart unfolds with a sophisticated blend of juniper and rosewood, accented by a surprising hint of juicy watermelon and a subtle, refined rose. It settles into a rich, earthy base of oakmoss, sturdy cedar, and a soft leather, all cushioned by a clean musk.
