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.
Pure XS, a fragrance that largely lives up to its XS predecessors, is a fragrance born in 1993 and from which the new Pure XS directly descends. Since its very first launch, it has been about provocative and virile essences, displaying an unbridled sensuality. Pure XS is designed in the image of its predecessors. It resembles an irrepressible urge, an expression full of emotion and intensity. Pure XS is a fragrance of passion that encourages living in excess and fantasy rather than restraint. The promise made by this new fragrance is particularly tempting. So, let us take a closer look to see whether it lives up to all our expectations.
Olfastory’s review
A genuinely erotic fragrance: Pure XS
Through this essence, Paco Rabanne promises a strong dose of eroticism. And the least one can say is that it truly delivers! The atmosphere of this juice is particularly carnal. This fragrance overheats the skin and immediately gives rise to a sensation of infinite pleasure. To achieve this, Pure XS plays on the hot-cold contrast. It sets the tone immediately with a soapy, peppery burst of ginger. After all, what ingredient could be more aphrodisiac than this one? Its distinctive scent is paired with a green, aromatic facet of thyme. The leather present in its heart reinforces the animalic quality of this fragrance, while cinnamon brings a spicier facet. Finally, the virility of Pure XS expresses itself through an addition of cedar wrapped in sugar. Beware, gluttony is also a sin!
The mysterious bottle of Pure XS
As for the bottle, Paco Rabanne has also very largely succeeded in its wager. Indeed, Pure XS comes with a very refined bottle. It has managed to preserve the codes of its predecessor, XS, while modernizing them and giving them a more intriguing edge. Pure XS is presented in a thick block of glass in perfect harmony with the fragrance it contains. This too delivers numerous contrasts. Its transparent base is set against an opaque black top. Its refinement is ever-present and its nocturnal color only heightens the mystery.
The bold advertisement by Paco Rabanne for Pure XS
Finally, as if all this were not enough to convince us to buy the new Pure XS, Paco Rabanne has also produced a vividly colorful advertisement. It features young model Francisco Henriques at the heart of a bathroom. Heir to a noble family, the handsome young man is watched by a multitude of courtesans who seem to have a hard time containing their emotions. This advertisement for Pure XS is both bold and not without humor. It invites desire and longing without ever giving in to them. This is truly a fantasized world where chic and indecency become one.
