Black XS Be a Legend Debbie Harry

my mom gave me this as a high school graduation gift and i wore it day-of. lasted a long time considering the graduation ceremony was on a football field in june (the coastal humid heat is brutal). one of my absolute faves. starts off very powdery and woody, but on dry down it smells like orange blossoms, rose, sandalwood/patchouli, and a bit of musk. very versatile. it's femme-leaning but unisex and mature. works great on my skin.

I need more scents with hellebore... I didn't really know I loved that note before I tried this one and La Perla J'aime la nuit. I also love rose and oud, and restrained versions of vanilla and patchouli. With all that I love this more and more as time goes by, even if it seems this is made for younger girls. Oh well, I'm still younger than Debbie Harry. My only complaint is that I wish it would last longer.

I love it, smells very atypical! Not a blindbuy, as not everyone will love it. Rose and oud, this is perfect. It smells more mature than the original Black Xs, not fruity at all. Moderate sillage, moderate longevity. It has a masculine note somehow.

Mmmmm, this is so lovely, georgous and girly. Not for mature women, but for young rock&roll girls. So soft powdery. I never tried a parfume that has such a perfect balance. I'm already sad that this is limited..

Really low lasting power and it smells like a fabric softner. The 2nd Black was the best.

My friend offered this one for swap.I wasn't sure about it.I imagined it to be a heavy Arabic perfume.oud,rose,patchouli and saffron are all famous elements for an Arabic type scent which I usually dislike.I can't tolerate slightest hint of oud and recently I had bought more than enough rose perfumes so I decided to receive it in swap and then exchange it in another swap with my other friend.but I had to try it first. Well there's nothing Arabic like here.it's not a heavy scent either.as I sprayed it I could smell a pretty,sweet rose with fruity nuances.soon it becomes sweeter and I can smell patchouli and vanilla too.actually I love,love,love this gorgeous scent.it's like a sweet fruitchouli blended with vanilla-rose combo,like an iris-less version of Valentino donna.I can also feel something powdery here.I have never met a perfume this much different with my imaginations All the notes are so well blended.patchouli won't bother any patchouli-hater and vanilla doesn't cover other notes.it's so beautiful,delicious,feminine that I can't get enough.when I bought original black XS I expected to love it(mostly for it's cacao)but I don't.I was not looking for a love here but I find it one of the best rose fragrances I ever tried.a gorgeous,modern,almost gourmand rose with powdery nuances I was waiting for oud to showup and ruin this joy but it never intruded.it dries down to a gentle Rosey vanilla,less sweet,very likable and easy to wear I think this isn't going to be a successful perfume and won't sell much because it will disappoint people who try it looking for a unique,gothic oudy rose and people who would love a sweet,simple,soft and delicious scent won't dare give it a try,judging it by it's notes It's the first time I'm wearing it but I already know that I like it a lot and this is a keeper for sure It's good for mild to cool weather,day and night.my favorite part is first hour of application when it's sweet,strong and playful.however it's soft subtle dry down is nice too It seems to have very good projection in it's sweet phase but after an hour sillage is almost soft.I will edit to add about it's longevity I also like it's bottle however I think it's not matching the scent ❤❤❤❤ براساس نت هاش قضاوتش نکنید.من که ذره ای عود ازش نمیگیرم.تو ساعات اولیه عطری شیرین و خوشمزه و مدرنه.ترکیب خیلی زیبایی از رز،پچولی و وانیل که ته بوی میوه ای ویه حالت پودری هم ازش میگیرم.خیلی از تصوراتم بهتره.شاد وکاملا زنونه و تو این مرحله پخش خیلی خوبی داره.در ادامه خیلی ملایمتر و لطیفتر میشه و شیرینیش هم خیلی کم میشه ضمن اینکه پخشش هم ملایم میشه.مناسب آب و هوای معتدل تا خنک.توصیه میکنم حتما امتحانش کنید

Second review: Among Black XS line I have the first Black XS,Aphrodisiac one,and this one:Be s Legend Debbie Harry. it's been almost two years that they're in my collection and I didn't reach for them so decided to sell or swap them after revisiting for the last time I really can't understand why I forgot about these great perfumes.in the vast sea of nowadays generic,scented water perfumes,Black XS line comes out with strong perfumes which have their own memorable character Black XS Legend has nothing to do with the original Black XS except that I see both of them as sexy perfumes This one is rosey,not a very dark,heavy rose but not a bright and fresh one either.patchouli,vanilla,oud and saffron don't stand out as separate notes but I can detect all of them in a well blended combination.I can even find Hellebore in it though I don't know that note but there's something new to my nose here that gives it a powdery,floral with fruity naunces undertone.no wonder they used to used this flower in magical potions as it's exactly what saves this perfume from being another rose-patchouli out there and gives it it's unique character but this perfumes can't be used to summon demons,it's not gothic,vampy,witchy eventhough it has this naughty,very sexy warm spicy sweetness I can get what @Angeldaisy refers to as apple peeling too.but I like it On me it has a strong presence,not that it's cloyingly heavy but it's easily recognizable by others.longevity is more than moderate Not a crazy love but right now it's a huge like for me.I find it very very sexy and while not being juvenile at all, there's something youthful and modern in it.it can be pretty verstile too I also like it's sisters.L'Aphrodisiac being a lovely orange flower in a amber-vanilla base and there original is a great cacao fragrance with a tart,fruity opening and a warm vanilla-cacao drydown.very different with each other,still all three are going to stay in my collection.now I'm so much interested in this line that want to try and buy L'excess and potion one too I'm definitely keeping it and it's sisters

this is a lovely scent. having not tried XS..i have nothing to compare it to. nor does it resemble any of my other rose scents (and esp not Agent Diamond Dust...not even a little bit like that, sorry.) plus i don't detect the saffron in this. i have tested this twice now...it is sweet, slightly powdery and patch on me..and dries down to a nice floral and rose with patch base. strangely though, on my skin...there's an "apple peeling" note in there. (i peel my little one's apples sometimes and it's the smell i get each time open my kitchen bin, if there are peelings in there. weird. not unpleasant, but not something i wish to wear really.) perhaps it's only me that notices it. i think i detect oud (if that's the vague wood note i smell)..i don't detect vanilla, the patch and rose/floral seem to take centre stage one me. this is still sexy and rosey. the sillage is moderate and it lasted on me for 4-5 hours, turning into skin scent after about 2 hours. comes in a massive 80ml bottle. that should last you a good while! EDIT: i swear there's some fruit in this and i get a pepper note in the opening too. Ok, i am going to test Black XS tomorrow...as i swear lots the notes for that are what i'm getting with this! and it really doesn't match the profile above fro me...barely at all.

Hey! This isn't as bad as I imagined it would be! I definitely get that rose on first blast, but it mellows and I get something kinda soft, warm, spicy and a bit powdery. The dry down is very pretty. Soft rose, a little powdery, a bit of vanilla and incense. That's not a note, but rosey perfumes always tend to smell a bit like incense to me. I don't get patchouli at all. I'm not even so sure I smell wood lol This works very well with my chemistry. It's always the blind buys that I think I'll absolutely hate that turn out well for me haha I wouldn't wear this often, but I would definitely wear it when I got a little bored with my super sweet dessert frags.

I like the scent! The oud is easy to digest here. The sillage is moderate. Its not dark, nor is it gothic but sexy and alluring. "Warm spicy" defines it well!

A lil on the sweet side for my taste, and comes across as cloyingly girly in this 100 degree weather. Putting it aside till cooler months arrive.

First a stunning bouquet, then a vibrant sexy woman who, a bit later turns to a calmed-down, elegant lady...Love it!

It is beewax and rose petal jam to me. A beautiful uplifting scent. Also the smell feels dense and heavy.

Got mine today and was deeply dissapointed, mostly at myself, as i blindbought this scent. I know that me and oudh-scents not goes along well but as many said that the oudh in this one was not so heavy and i love the predesessors dearly i thought "why not".I got it today and it's a total oudh-bomb, smells like 10.000 others with oud/rose/patchouli/amber/vanilla-combo. Sorry Paco R, this has to move on...

Terrible stuff...smells like a men deodorant or shower gel. No oud, no vanilla, no patchouli... only some chemical rose scent mixed with some really cheap spices. I really hate it. Although I bind bought it, I was expecting something more original and more intense... instead I got this. And on top of it, it is really weak. Overall, a cheap perfume that does not even deserve the slightest attention.

This was a mess to me and I l love saffron, oud, and patchouli. NEGATIVE - it did not make any sense to me.

It's really like a light shadow of her predecessor mixed with the Black XS Potion edition. The head is weak, I can say the perfume is almost linear and the drydown remains similar all the way. Vanilla and patchouli are undetectable for me, hellebore flower and oud are the determining notes, but they're subtle as well. The whole scent is light, OK for daytime wear, less strong than the other ones and there's not much to talk about it. Maybe it's good for those who doesn't like heady scents, but would appreciate this still "pacorabanne-ish" small sister :)

I collected a few of the XS’s, all blind buys, each rich & mysterious, first ‘fumes I noticed ‘textures’ XS Legend is deep & dense. Long wearing for me. When it’s winding down, mist original xs, you could bottle that. these all layer Beautifully! I’ve just started playing with layers. The shape, weight, colours, big love for these bottles. edgy(Pure xs snake hello). yet simple, 2 letters. just plain cool. I wonder if creators consider what you’re wearing, because this is great with leather or suede coat.

I tryed this one before i looked up the note , And first thing i notised was the Oud . TThis is not a typicly XS parfume . this to me smells like floral oud , just a slight sweetnes ,Patchouli yes , but you would imagin this to be much sweeter knowing the original and follow up flankers . This is not bad . But for me who cant realy take Oud . it is a no

my go to fragrance for the last couple of years. initially i didn't like it. thought no way does that read debbie harry...but after actually putting it on i find it works with my chemistry. do wish it lasted longer, too.

Too powdery for my nose... Does not remind me of Debbie Harry in any way... Debbie is more aggressive and sensual and powerful and complex than this generic smell...

Very pretty like a soft version of Versace Woman crossed with Arabian Oud Prestige Rose. Lovely and lasts well on the skin with moderate sillage.

Absolutely love it. Lasts long on fabric...Arabian Prestige Rose rock ́n ́roll! Love Debbie Harry....

I love the concept because I love Debbie Harry & Iggy Pop, as for the fragrance - we'll sniff

Far more interesting and indeed better than the original.

I have a bottle to swap [email protected]
