Black XS Potion for Him

Unfortunetly this perfume won't be available in Portugal and that made me pissed off. My parents went to Vigo, Spain today and they surprised with this one as a gift for me and the female version for my mother as a gift to her self. Happy days :) Well this one is a awesome fragrance. My parents loved it, that is because why they bought it for me. I obviously openned right away and tried it right away. The opening notes are brutal, I loved them every minute. It has a little bit of the original Black XS for him in it with a scent of absinth in it. The heart notes are very pleasant with the fruity note become more of a woody scent. The base notes of Rum is present, I was expecting a scent similar to JOOP! Homme Wild but it is not. I can smell the Rum but this one reminds me a little bit of the base notes of Fan di Fendi for men or 212 VIP for men. Overall, this is really a scent from the Rabanne House. It is really caracteristic of him to have scents like this one. I will only use this one when I go to dinner parties or to a nightclub or even a romantic date/dinner. This is a Fall/Winter fragrance in my point of view and the longevity is great. The bottle is really great, I loved the stamp detail great creation. Contragulations Mr Paco Rabanne on another great scent for men (9/10).

Paco is synonymous with sweet. This is no exception. This is a sweet, boozy, vanilla bomb. Surprisingly, this does go through quite a transition on skin. It starts with typical paco sweetness - similar to montblanc legend night - and then transitions into a more sour, woody sweetness. I haven’t tried the original xs - or any other flankers, so I’m not able to compare them in that sense, but I do genuinely like this. I would say it’s geared towards the younger crowd - simply because of its sweetness - but I enjoy it regardless. I think this is just different enough to warrant strong consideration (if you like sweet bombs!). Nice release! 6/10

I have always been a fan of Black XS .The only thing that Black XS lacked for me was the silage and logevity I still loved it but then I bought this (blind buy) from a retail site for 40$ and oh boy is this good. Black XS Potion is the improvement I wanted from the original . Good silage and brutal longevity. I got 20 + hours on my skin and a good 8 hours with washing ,man does this juice deliver . I get a peach opening and sweet , woody notes in the dry-down . Anyways , great scent decent silage ,could do better ! ordered two more bottles . Scent 9/10 Silage 7/10 Longevity 10/10

This is my absolute number 1 of all perfumes I smelled in the last 15 years. It’s totally different than the other Paco Rabanne products. Actually I cannot find anything similar. It reminds me of red mulled sweet wine or rum served in a wooden goblet near a crackling wood in the fireplace. The smell is completely clean in the sense uniform and harmonious, there are no pungent scent notes, a fragrance work of art.
