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

Excellent Fragrance sweet Strawberries syrup with a twist Begins as the original after a while it gets the wonderful woody rum This combination is amazing it is becomes something different from the original This is exactly what was missing in the original More delicate softer and less synthetic Even better longevity The best From the Group #1-Black XS Potion #2-Black XS L'Exces #3-Black XS #4-Black XS Be a Legend Iggy Pop

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.

Had this fragrance for a while in my collection Heard a certain clown in the frag com describing it as a powerful scent I couldn’t believe it so I had to test it out to make sure and long and behold once again the clown wasn’t right This fragrance starts gorgeous until the next 45 to 1 hour then it lets you down becoming less than a skin scent for maximum 3 to 4 hours

I have both Not exactly the same but similar I can feel the difference right at the beginning Black XS potion Sweet In a different way its feel better With the combination of rum and wood longevity is better and the smell is softer If you like the original you have to get Black XS potion It does not disappoint I highly recommend You'll enjoy both of them

This is an excellent flanker! A sweet rum fragrance that dries down woody and still has a hint of the original Black XS DNA. Projects fine for the first hour or two then settles. Will last a while on clothes though. If you like Black XS and want something bit more mature, this is it. Ratings Sillage: 6.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Scent: 8/10

This limited edition caught my attention when i sampled it on the back of my hand. This frag projects, lasted a long time eventhough after rinsing my hand with water & after taken a bath. I'm very glad that i tried it and eventually added to my collection. Hope you guys will give it a try as well. Cheers.

I used the original for a couple of years but since joining the Fragcomm I've held back on it but I just score a 100ml bottle of Potion for $30.00 and I can certainly say it smells very close to the original. The difference only comes in on the dry-down where Potion becomes woody.

The berries of Pure Malt mixed with peaches and strawberries with a heavy waxy cream that sits upon a very light version of Tobacco Vanille. It has a warming comforting feel to it, I'm floored, it's so awesome!!! A soon to be rockstar and darling, I know it.

this smell is on really high level for my nose...better,stronger and mooore longlasting BIG BROTHER of BLACK XS.i'm woman but i like to wear and buy fragrances for men.and i'm sure that this will be next!!!

First 10-15mins after spraying it smells really nice, but after that it dies down to fainted original black xs...Only tested it in a cold weather though. Maybe it will be better in spring.

I love this fragrance. Sweetly spiced and smells of rum, and not in an alcoholic kind of way! Lasts for ages and doesn't overpower a room. Perfect for late summer through autumn.

Paco Rabanne at its perfection...............A very very live scent..i love it......perfect for the fall.walking on the dry leaves and wearing this perfume...wow.... 10/10......

Another Masterpiece..!!!! like his old brother BX..... This one is made of: AMBER -RUM - FRUIT ..... A Very good one - A SYMPHONY TO THE NOSE..!!!!! My rating - 94/100

This is definitely the best from the entire series of blax Xs. i also thing that the scent is way nicer than 1 million. Smell: 8/10 Lasting: 9/10
