“Cranberry-pink pepper-tamarind dark creamy bold winter feminine.”
Cranberry over a cacao-rose heart — Emilie Coppermann's 2007 launch for Rabanne, a dark gourmand-floral entry in the late-2000s Black XS line. Vanilla through the base. A winter evening fragrance. One of the brand's distinctive gothic-feminine launches of the late 2000s.
