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

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.

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'.

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.

Sadly, I don't like Black XS as much as I had anticipated. Judging by the notes and countless good reviews, I was certain this would make an exquisite addition to my collection. I expected something dark, spicy, and sweet. Instead, I got a dark, spicy, and old lady.

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.
