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.
One signed reading: Victoria Frolova sees a dark, sharp woody amber, denser than Armani Privé’s Ambre Soie, whose spicy sweetness erases the line between masculine and feminine.
What critics say
Victoria Frolova, Bois de Jasmin
For Victoria Frolova, in December 2005, Black XS resembles a richer, sharper, deeper Armani Privé Ambre Soie, where the warmth of amber leans on dark, resinous woods. Where one belongs to watercolor, the other belongs to oil painting.
She specifies that this is not a warm, powdery, vanilla amber, but a woody, sharp and dark one. Its woody warmth, lifted by a spicy sweetness, is not jarring on a woman: composed by Olivier Cresp, it effortlessly erases the line between genders.
