Edgy and sweet

This was my first 'signature' scent.

I came across it while duty free shopping a few years ago. Being as I was at the time, a bit of a rock chick, I was initially drawn to the appearance of the bottle/packaging. My fave colour is pink, and pink always looks good against black.

I've always been a sucker for anything vanilla, so I immediately loved the mix of candy-like sweetness and musky spice. It's a very sexy fragrance to wear.

I purchased the 50ml EDT for myself then and there, and the following 2 bottles I owned after that were both gifts.

I used to wear this everyday. I found the scent goes on quite strong, but after a while I couldn't notice it so much myself. I know from the compliments and comments of others though, that it was still detectable, and every now and then I would catch a hint of it.

I've since 'grown out' of this fragrance, and prefer softer, more floral fragrances. I think this scent is suited to an edgy, confident, younger woman.

The One That Got Away...

I first purchased Black XS a few years ago when I fell in love with the cute little bottle and the beautiful scent. The base note of Vanilla is what drew myself to purchasing this beauty, so I got it in the smallest bottle of 30ml at the time to see how it would last throughout the day, with the perfect size to go into my handbag. Now it is one that needs reapplying part way through the day for a refreshing scent, but not much is required.

Part way through the bottle, I noticed it went missing. Sadly, I thought I had misplaced it like I usually did or left it somewhere at my mum's place like I do everytime I'm visiting. To my surprise my mum took it! She loved it so much, she thought she would make it hers. Not worried at all I let her have it as she wasn't one to buy perfume for herself but re-purchased it for myself.

To this day I still love this perfume, and so does she. It's the perfect present for Mother's Day at a great price, plus now I don't have to take mine down when I go visit her.

Sexy scent

I bought this perfume when I was a teenager as the packaging attracted me and looked quite cool and rebelious.

I was pleasantly suprised by the perfume. Its sexy, spicy, musky and sweet all rolled into one. Even though I bought it as a teenager I certainly think it can be used by adults as well as its quite a mature scent. Its very bold and powerful so I think it should be worn on occasions where you want to make a statement.

Tips: To be worn when you want to make a statement as its a quite a bold and powerful scent.

I first discovered this perfume when a friend arrived back from Australia - to me it is definitely a statement perfume, it is quite strong so it pays not to be too heavy handed with it. The packaging I beautiful and the scent always gets a lot of compliements - Love love love paco rabanne perfumes

Black XS L'Exces by Paco Rabanne

I was given this as a gift from someone travelling to NZ from Australia. She knew I wore Black XS by Paco Rabanne. I liked this version of Black XS but do prefer the ordinary Black XS For Her. The scent is sweet, strong and slightly musky and wears down nicely though it goes on strong. And although the base notes are vanilla and cashmere wood the floral notes of jasmine and rose add a floral finish that softens the spicy top notes. The packaging is solid and very cool. Loved the skull.

Tips: Use a little, it goes a long way.

You can never go wrong..

Decided to pick this one up from chemist warehouse on a sale and since then I’ve gone through 3 bottles! My fiancé absolutely loves the smell of this on me and loves smelling it. It’s definitely a perfume to wear out on a date, night out, drinks or event. It is one of the only perfumes I own that actually keeps the scent strong (but not too strong) throughout the night/day. I find 3 sprits does the trick! It’s high end without the high end budget.

Tips: Put a spray in your hair, behind your ears on your neck, and wrists for the best results.

Spicy and delicious

This perfume is amazing, one of my favourites, although I don't reach for it every day as it is rich and spicy. I save it for the winter and for going out at night. It smells very sweet but not sickly - like spiced cookies or mulled wine.

Black XS Paco Rabanne Perfume Review

I only got this perfume last year, but it has quickly become one of my favorite ones. When you first spray it on you, it smells very strong and almost not nice. However, give it a couple of minutes and it develops into a wonderful warm, deep, long-lasting fragrance. It smells like warm vanilla, roses, woody and sweet all at the same time. I love love love this perfume and have already used two bottles!

Black XS Magic

The Product:

- I own both the EDP and EDT. Both are divine. - The bottle size I own is the 80ml 2.7 FL.OZ. I find this lasts me a really long time (A month and a half to two months of every day use). - This is my signature scent. I think it is delicious and always gets compliments. However I do occasionally wear it when wearing something slightly more dressy. -I have been wearing it every day for roughly 4 years now. Never get tired of this lovely scent. - Originally my first bottle was a Christmas present from my mother who adores perfumes and she thought it suited my personality. She couldn't have been more accurate.

The Scent:

- It is a very sweet fragrance. When initially applied you really smell the middle floral notes of the perfume, however over the course of the day it mellows into a heavenly vanilla. - It generally lasts during the day very well. Every now and again it will also catch on the wind and reminds you that you are wearing it. Super lovely. Even as it mellows during the day and goes through its various changes, you still receive compliments.

The Bottle:

-The bottle is a lovely colour (a red/crimson colour with a black lid). It also has a lovely rose flower protruding from the glass which ties into the bold lettering which also has a rose printed above it. -It looks very attractive in the cupboard.

Price:

-I very much think it is worth the price tag. Although it is an expensive purchase, I never tire of it, and it lasts such a long time.

Tips: I find the lotion compliments this fragrance a lot but it is slightly more spicy smelling than the original scent of the perfume.

Black XS L' Exces

When i first smelt this perfume i was sure i was going to buy it. It is quite a strong smell, but, it has a sexy musk smell to it which makes me fall in love with the smell. I have worn this and got compliments, but have also been told it is too strong and gave them a headache! I thought that was hilarious. Certain fragrances are not for everyone, but this strong long lasting perfume is the one for me.
