Paco Rabanne finally unveils the Black XS woman. Paco Rabanne is a particularly innovative designer. He displayed profound audacity throughout his career and became just as celebrated in perfumery as in Haute Couture. Thus, the public delights each time in discovering a new universe through his fragrances.
Black XS For Her appeared two years after the previous Black XS designed for men. As a feminine alter ego to this highly explosive fragrance, it does not hesitate to surprise, provoke and stay ahead of its time. Its leitmotif? Being oneself, excessively. The woman who wears this perfume does not hesitate to assert her dreams and intoxicate us with its fruity and floral breath. Radiant and disturbingly captivating, she draws us in with her scent of rose plunged into a black vanilla. All of this is presented in a seductive bottle containing the most precious elixir there is. Here is our review of this cult feminine perfume, born in 2007.
Olfastory’s review
Black XS For Her, in perfect harmony with Paco Rabanne's surprising style
Black XS For Her is at once surprising while fitting perfectly with the spirit of the Paco Rabanne house. Indeed, the designer has always loved to surprise, whether through his clothing creations or his perfumes. Here, he paints for us the portrait of a woman in his own image: rebellious, free and disconcerting. Black XS For Her is quickly perceived as a “barock'n roll” perfume, endowed with a very strong personality. The woman who wears it overflows with energy and does not hesitate to take risks to be master of her own future. At once modern while remaining a touch vintage, the Black XS For Her woman is a treasure of sensuality. Glamorous one day and tomboyish the next, she does not hesitate to set her own trend. As you will have understood, Black XS For Her does not go unnoticed, but this only reinforces its devastating charm!
Black XS For Her, a fruity taste of rebellion
Black XS For Her owes its existence to two perfumers, namely Emilie Coppermann and Mark Buxton. Together, they imagined a highly contrasted perfume, placing at its center a dangerous flower: hellebore. Rarely used in perfumery, this raw material is a Christmas rose, which blooms from November to April. Here, it captivates us with its dark and mysterious heart mingled with other narcotic effluvia. Violet and cocoa flower further reinforce its shadowy aspect. The whole blends with a sparkling opening of tamarind flower, pink pepper and cranberry. In contrast, its base is much more woody, enveloping and sensual. It contains massoia wood, patchouli and black vanilla, for a very distinctive and sexy side. Black XS For Her relies on uncommon ingredients, and we can only underscore its audacity.
Paco Rabanne and its bottle inspired by an elixir vial
Black XS For Her also comes in a bottle of great beauty. It takes the form of a vial that one would believe came from another era. An elixir of all secrets, it reveals itself in a pink and black color scheme. Sculpted in relief, it incorporates on its glass a typography shaped like petals and branches. This visual gives off a thoroughly irresistible rock and rebellious side.
