Black XS pour Elle, the rebellious woman of Paco Rabanne
With each of its fragrances, Paco Rabanne likes to draw us into a world of its own. In 2007, it chose to play the rock 'n' roll card combined with a look that is, to say the least, baroque.

Its vintage side suits it like a glove, and women never stop making its retro and glamorous aspect their own, again and again. What's more, Black XS pour Elle is not without a touch of tomboyishness either. It likes to play on its androgyny to better win over hearts.

Consider yourselves warned: your goal is to lead men by the nose with impertinence and seduction, Black XS pour Elle is the bewitching elixir you need!
The multiple nuances of the Black XS pour Elle fragrance
As you will have understood, Black XS pour Elle is an essence endowed with an infinite number of facets. It alone suffices to depict all the personalities united within womankind. Thus, this fragrance shows itself by turns floral, fruity or woody. Its heart, for its part, highlights hellebore, a dangerous and mysterious flower combining accents of rose with narcotic effluvia. Black violet, for its part, only reinforces the intriguing aspect of this fragrance, while cocoa flower confirms the dark sensation. Other elements such as pink pepper and cranberries help energize its opening. Its sillage, on the other hand, is darker and deeper. It is full of massoia wood combined with patchouli. Finally, the whole is further wrapped in vanilla, revealing a more sensual and syrupy scent. In other words, Black XS pour Elle is a fragrance that delivers a complex and unusual recipe. This is the work of Émilie Coppermann and Mark Buxton.
