Rabanne Pure XS

Pure XS by Paco Rabanne, a fragrance where eroticism and excess become one. As Paco Rabanne explains: Excess must be cultivated in order to live intensely, discover, dream or simply live. This is precisely the ambition that fueled the creation of the fragrances Black XS and Black XS pour Elle, in 2005 and 2009.

For many years, the house Paco Rabanne has enjoyed composing fragrances that play on our fantasies and dreams of grandeur. Pure XS, a fine flanker of XS, does not stray from this love of excess; on the contrary, it loudly asserts its ambition to be an aphrodisiac fragrance. Pure XS is an explosion of hot and cold that will not go unnoticed in the fragrant year of 2017, that much is certain!

Pure XS, or the perfumed fantasy signed by Anne Flipo, Caroline Dumur and Bruno Jovanovic

When Paco Rabanne asks the perfumers at IFF to compose for it a masculine juice that translates olfactorily the sensation of skin that shivers with desire and burns with pleasure, the least one can say is that the three IFF perfumers in charge of developing Pure XS did not hold back on the erotic dose of the fragrance.

Indeed, it took no fewer than three talented creators to compose this majestic ode to assertive sexuality: Anne Flipo, Caroline Dumur and Bruno Jovanovic. Anne Flipo and Caroline Dumur have already worked together on the opulent So Sweet by Lolita Lempicka and know how to align their shared taste for unusual raw materials and overdoses of original ingredients.

Moreover, Anne Flipo is particularly present in many great bottles that have revolutionized modern perfumery, such as Angel, Manifesto, Love Story, not to mention the current major bestseller La Vie est Belle. For Paco Rabanne, the perfumer has already composed One Million and Lady Million as well as the pair Invictus-Olympea. This shows just how qualified she is to give Paco Rabanne its fragrance of excess and sulfurous eroticism!

Pure XS thus presents itself as a highly sensual, if not outright erotic, masculine juice. It plays on its fine contrasts to create surprise all the more effectively…

The beauty of opposites in a disarmingly sensual Pure XS fragrance

Pure XS is a fragrance of shivers, first an icy shiver, then a fiery one, sometimes even both at once! Paco Rabanne does not hesitate to use a rather bold metaphor, describing Pure XS as vibrant and magnetic, crossed by a constant back and forth between cold and heat, softness and intensity.

On the fresh side, the fragrance opens on a striking blend built from sweet, icy ginger and a highly powerful aromatic thyme note.
It is in the heart that the skin of the irresistible man of Pure XS ignites with the vanilla-cinnamon accord, which brings its roundness and its gourmand, spicy opulence to very masculine notes of leather and liqueur.

Finally, cedar perfumes with woody freshness and vigor the warm, mysterious cloud of myrrh tinged with a touch of sugar.

It seems that Paco Rabanne no longer hesitates for a single second to dive into the finest olfactory excesses with Pure XS. And it proudly claims this, describing it as a fresh-burning oriental, frankly indecent. Excess in its purest state.
