Black XS pour lui, the fragrance for Paco Rabanne men Paco Rabanne is considered a true icon of fashion and perfumery. Also, while its first fragrance was launched in 1969, the house's olfactory universe has since greatly evolved. Now, Paco Rabanne enjoys unveiling fragrance duos to us.
Of course, the perfume house Paco Rabanne has offered beautiful fragrances for both men and women since its debut in 1969 with Calandre. But it was indeed with its fragrance pair Black XS pour Femme and Black XS pour Homme that the house would finally have its bestselling fragrance. As excessive as the master of haute couture, delightfully original and slightly innovative, Black XS pour Homme, designed by the great Olivier Cresp, on par with its feminine counterpart, stands out on the shelves!
Black XS Pour lui, or Olivier Cresp's gourmand revolution for Paco Rabanne fragrances
Paco Rabanne fragrances, though composed with care and quality, finally deserved the success they merited. By offering the small olfactory revolution Black XS, Paco Rabanne not only found its bestselling fragrance but also a multitude of new olfactory and commercial concepts.
As far as the olfactory realm is concerned, Black XS pour Homme was composed by Olivier Cresp in a wholly original way. Indeed, let us not forget that this brilliant perfumer is behind the greatest success of 1990s perfumery, Angel, the very first gourmand fragrance in history. While denying any wish to recreate Angel in his other compositions, Olivier Cresp is a lover of the gourmand character and would go further by offering it to men in Light Blue and then in Black XS.
However, Black XS does not seek to imitate another fragrance, and its gourmand accents mainly serve to highlight its wild dynamism and extreme sensual depth. Black XS is the fragrance of a rebellious and virile man who is nonetheless unafraid to assert his sensitivity through notes previously rare in masculine perfumery.
The aromatic, fruity and sensual fragrant vibrations of a wholly rebellious Black XS
As we have already noted, Olivier Cresp sought above all with Black XS to innovate by offering accords still unprecedented for a masculine fragrance. Some will nonetheless claim that Black XS is reminiscent of the beautiful fruity accords of Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, created by the same perfumer in 2001. Nevertheless, the resemblance stops there, for the man of Black XS is a rocker, not a Mediterranean seducer!
Black XS pour Lui is thus built on a system of shockwaves and tremors (musical and olfactory) which, with each note, reveals a little more of the power of the juice. First, the aromatic and tangy notes send out their dynamic notes like a guitar riff. Praline, cinnamon and Tolu balsam soften the music as black cardamom and green apple-strawberry accords arrive at full speed, to better surprise us. The guitar of the Black XS man becomes more enticing and seductive, letting itself be carried away in a romantic yet above all highly sensual ballad of black amber and patchouli…
Uncompromising woody oriental. Fresh, raw energy. Lemon and Kalamansi. Radiant sensuality. Spiced praline over overdosed patchouli. A radical charm. Paco Rabanne for Black XS
