Rabanne Black XS pour Lui

In other words, each one comes in a feminine and a masculine version and draws us into a world of its own. This trend was initiated by the creation of the Black XS pour lui and pour elle juices. For once, let us start with its masculine version, which was created in 2005.

Paco Rabanne's rock 'n' roll universe

Paco Rabanne is capable of drawing us into a world that is at once highly elegant and yet full of audacity and fully unrestrained. Also, it was only logical that he turned to the rock 'n' roll universe when he created the Black XS duo. It delivers the image of a man transcended by musical vibrations. Picture it: A concert hall plunged into darkness. Tension is at its peak. The audience holds its breath. Within these walls where stage giants have played the finest notes of electroshock music, young songwriters are about to bounce their own story forward with writing that multiplies the energy of the hits of yesteryear. Black XS pour Lui is akin to the writing of the career of a new rock legend. It displays an intense virility charged with emotion. It thus suits sensual, chic and rebellious men. Its scent is in their image: passionate, vibrant and akin to intoxication. Also, if the sales achieved by this fragrance are to be believed, it must be noted that Black XS pour Lui has made a brilliant entrance onto the stage!

The rebellious virility of Black XS pour Lui

When Olivier Cresp wrote the formula for Black XS pour Lui, he confided that he thought of it as the composition of a rock score. He wanted his juice to be generous, fiery and addictive. Thus, like the opening notes of a concert, Black XS pour Lui instantly electrifies with the freshness of Calabrian lemon combined with kalamansi, a small citrus fruit whose scent lies somewhere between bitter orange and Philippine lime. Then, the whole gradually evolves toward more aromatic notes. Black XS pour Lui blends sage and tagetes. Its heart then ignites with spices, gaining in impertinence. Cardamom and cinnamon dominate the whole while being wrapped in Tolu balsam as well as a particularly gourmand praline note. From then on, Black XS pour Lui becomes utterly addictive. It ends with a more woody and sensual sillage woven with rosewood, ebony, patchouli and black amber. In terms of aesthetics, it is in the image of a rocker. It comes in a bottle resembling a lighter, entirely lacquered in black. Fine grooves underline its graphic, masculine look. It is as if Black XS pour Lui had donned its finest leather garment for us.
