Rabanne

Black XS for Her

2007
Black XS for Her

Cranberry-pink pepper-tamarind dark creamy bold winter feminine.

The darker, more cacao-forward sister to Rabanne's lighter XS line — Emilie Coppermann's 2007 feminine counterpart to Rabanne's Black XS masculine. A fruity-gourmand-amber feminine with cranberry, pink pepper, and tamarind at the top, a cacao-rose-violet heart, and a vanilla-patchouli-massoia wood base. Performs strongest in winter, leans evening, lasts 5–7 hours with moderate projection.

The take
What works
  • Dark cacao-vanilla creamy winter feminine with masculine edge
  • Bold daring not-typical Rabanne signature
Trade-offs
  • Polarizing — test before buying
  • Synthetic plastic facets to some noses
