My nose is not very good with sweet scents. Unless they include some unusual notes, all of the sweet fruity fragrances smell the same to me. I guess it all comes down to cacao and tamarind with the pink pepper combination that makes it stand out for me.

My first time with this fragrance and so far so good. Very sexy light smell. Lasts all day.

Paco Rabanne has launched the Black XS (for women) in 2007 – two years after the launch of the men version Black XS for men (2005). The feminine fragrance has been created by the perfumers Emilie Coppermann and Mark Buxton. The advertising slogan says ‘modern and rebellious princesses'.

I think this perfume is definitely not for girls, I'd say for women 30+ or even 40+. It is a very heavy scent and on my skin, it changes a lot. Sniffed from the bottle, it is not all too unpleasant, but on my skin it smells like yeast and bad cranberry.

The scent barely lasts 4 hours. Bought my first Paco Rabane from DXB and this was the deal, thought it be the same here but obviously not. The scent is amazing though

One of the things that became clear to me as I worked on the recent 100 Fragrances Every Perfumista Should Try article was just how many perfume brands are entirely off my radar.

Black xs for her is a rock-chic that is here to stay. She's modern, simple, and of course a big city girl. Well, she's not the girl that wears pink and is always smiling, she's the other type of girl that loves rock music and the colour black. Dynamic, confindent and so damn sexy.

My halloween event was geared with fashionable items and upscale accessories. I got excited to contemplate a Lady Gaga look. I was rooting for a hip, rock, subtle ensemble and while shopping for my fashion statement, I wanted a cologne to also match this.
