Black XS Los Angeles for Her

A beautiful feminine fragrance, much better than its male counterpart. For me it is a very well-balanced fruity / vanilla / flowers perfume with oriental notes as the base notes to create an overall rich experience and improve its tenacity or staying power. I would categorize it under commercial (which is definitely not a bad thing) in that the majority of people will love it. عطر أنثوي جميل، أفضل بكثير من نظيره للرجال. بالنسبة لي هو عطر متوازن جدا يمزج بين الفاكهة و الفانيليا و الزهور بطريقة جميلة مع إضفاء قاعدة عطر شرقية لخلق تجربة غنية عامة وتحسين قوة و ثبات العطر. بالنسبة لي أصنف هذا العطر بخانة تجاري (والذي هو بالتأكيد ليس شيئا سيئا) و ذلك لأن معظم الناس سوف يحبون هذا العطر

Today I received this wonderful creation. Perfume is extremely underestimated and I am very pleased because I feel unique with it. Unlike most reviewers, the sweet notes of coconut and cranberry are felt at first and quickly come with the incredible combination of Hellebore flower, rum and white flowers, jasmine and magnolia. Perfume is mysteriously sexy without being intrusive. It is pure femininity, not sweet but fresh, pure, white femininity. I adore him!

It's a nice tropical smell for summer. At first starts very citrusy, then I definitely can detect the rum note plus some yummy coconut. It's not sweet, nor floral, it's more like citruses and some other fruits. It is very refreshing, without being sharp. Sillage and longevity are moderate. However, I don't get how this perfume pays tribute to the rock scene. On me it's a clean and energising scent, nothing provocative or sexy about it. It's like a flanker of Bronze goddess by EL.

The smell is really nice with distinctive orchid, orange and cranberries, but longevity is really weak, 1.5 hour not more.

My first impression was that there's artemisia in this ... but apparantly not. But to me it has an artemisia-y vibe to it. I would say it plays the fairly standard tune of fruity sufficiently musky-woody-fied so as not to actually smell like a bunch of fruit. Another one would be Dot by Marc Jacobs - the one in the black & red nearly spherickal bottle. It can yield ... somewhat tantalising results, this idiom; fragrances abiding in it tend to be rather on the dull side ... but the better ones can keep the olfactory faculty pleasantly engaged with trying to figure-out exactly what's going-on with it. Dot 'grew' on me after a while ... I'm hoping this will likewise. Cassis ... that was it, that I was trying to think of! Isn't there a cassis note in this? @ptilda -- if so, that might explain the 'black' in the name; coz I agree that there's no other reason for that appellation. At the end of the day I have fallen for the flanker tactic again!! Pure XS is a superb fragrance ... and I got this on the strength of that - blind, as it was somewhat reduced in price. But I am warming to it somewhat: it's that familiar pattern when the perfume house is one with a decent reputation - the flanker is often ... odd , & you don't know quite what to make of it ... but then after a while it turns-out ... not so bad ... or even rather good , sometimes! Actually, it's fine , this you know. I think Pure sets a 'bar' that it didn't 'vault' ... but it's fine.
