Pure XS Night

We have found Ultra Male's Twin!! Okay seriously though, this does smell almost exactly like ultra male, if you were blind smelling them side by side you wouldn't notice many differences. So let's start this review off by talking about the differences Pure XS night is very sweet which you'd know by reading the notes and so is Ultra male, but this is better because the sweetness is more balanced and a little bit softer and sexier. While ultra male smells closer to cotton candy or bubblebum, Pure XS night smells more like vanilla & cinnamon. The opening you can definitely smell cinnamon, I actually hate cinnamon but this is done so well that I quite like it. The cinnamon isn't harsh or overpowering, but it's perfectly balanced with the vanilla and the opening of this is also more fresh compared to ultra male. (Edit) - I was wrong ultra male is slightly more fresh due to the pear note in it but this is still nice You cannot smell cacao, in this fragrance though. This fragrance is sexy, sweet, calm, warm...like the name suggests it's a night time fragrance but also good to be worn in colder months and on dates. It's a very likeable fragrance, something which you won't hate if you buy it but it may be subjective if you prefer clean & fresh over sweet which I know a lot of people lean more towards clean and fresh. So just know this isn't clean or fresh at all, it almost smells edible like something you'd want to eat and it will get you compliments from girls and they will also want to eat you (Edit) - i've had more time to test the performance out on this and I take back what I said before I edited this, the performance of this is beast mode and it last all day maybe even 2 days "on clothes". My sister was cooking food and had lots of garlic and she said all she could smell in the kitchen was my pure xs night and it's that strong it will fill up a whole room and has plenty of silage that will leave a scent trail where ever you go. Although my mistake was thinking this doesn't perform very good on the initial skin test I did so I oversprayed this on my clothes and yep it's a strong boy!! this stuff got some power If you love ultra male, you will love Pure XS night. However if you also love sweet vanilla fragrances then you'll love this too. The dry down is mainly vanilla only and it loses that cinnamon, so when it's completely dry it will be just like a very good vanilla fragrance which is hard to hate because everyone loves vanilla. While ultra male on the dry down still retains a lot of that bubblegum/cotton candy smell it's a little more synthetic, while pure xs night smells more natural What to consider before buying this - I've heard people say Pure XS the original is better than PXS night, personally i've never smelled the original but consider trying both and comparing which one you like more. For price value, this is a great fragrance and really worth the value I rate this a 9/10 that's because it's really really good just usually with sweet fragrances they could be balanced out with some freshness. Although i've heard the original Pure xs is slightly more fresh so I may consider buying the original next after this since I loved this so much (edit - also did I mention this fragrance is totally unisex and doesn't smell masculine so ladies you can enjoy this scent too)

Out of all the sweet/coumarin-heavy fragrances released recently (Armani Code Absolu, Stronger With You Intensely, Givenchy Gentleman EDP, etc.) Pure XS Night would likely be my first pick because of its sheer wearability, balanced composition, and strong performance. Beware however that Pure XS Night is probably the most juvenile of the lot and is more suited for informal wear. Having smelled both the original Pure XS and Pure XS Night and owning a bottle of the latter, I believe the two have little in common. The original gives off a fizzy Coca Cola vibe and starts off with a busy/fresh opening. Pure XS Night on the other hand is more woody, sweet and linear; the scent is also much harder to describe. The flanker does follow the gourmand trend set by the original with a heavy dose of vanilla and a caramel-like accord, but there's more to it. Pure XS Night's sweetness has a bit of an underlying "burnt" quality that some may attribute to the ginseng and cocoa notes; it reminds me of slightly burnt lace oatmeal cookies that my family used to cook for Christmas. The fragrance's woodiness also veers towards gourmandish territory, one that reminds me of a freshly opened bag of puffed wheat. This woodiness provides a nice balance and ensures the scent doesn't feel sickly sweet, powdery, or cloying. Add to that a bit of an animalic undertone from the myrrh and you end up with a strangely inviting and alluring fragrance, addictive for the nostalgia it evokes without quite letting you put your finger on what you're recalling. In terms of performance, Pure XS Night absolutely thwarts the original in both longevity and projection. I get solid wafts of Night 6+ hours after applying no more than 2 sprays, whereas the original turned into a skin scent after 3 hours or so. This does come at the cost of worse versatility; the original was definitely on the more light/transparent side whereas this one should be reserved for fall & winter. In short, Pure XS Night is a definite "love" from me. Don't believe the skewed ratings and smell it for yourself.

At first blast Pure XS Night will remind you of at once many colognes... TM Amen Pure Havane, JPG Ultra Male, Azarro Wanted By Night. But after a few minutes PXS NIGHT starts to take a a different route which retains an underlying sweetness of the above scents mentioned, but with its own twist. After 2 Hours the scent dries down to its final stage which lasts for its duration. (8 hours) This final stage to me smells like its Predecessor (Pure XS ) But now instead of the vanilla coke drydown we now instead have it in a soda float offering (Vanilla coke with a generous dollop of caramel ice cream lightly sprinkled with cocoa powder. All in all... I LOVE IT. is it familiar? The starting 20 minutes yes it smells like countless recent releases at once, but thereafter it is its own beautiful creation. This scent is a warm sexy scent that is best felt and smelt in the embrace of the one wearing it (or so i have been told on the two occasions that ive worn it already). Its autumn here where i am and the weather is perfect right now and the compliments ive recieved on the 2 occasions already compensates for the price ive paid for the 100ml. Simply put Ladies love it, to a point where ive had a few hug me a few seconds longer than necessary and inhaled deeply whilst their respective partners eyed me warily. So yeah that alone shows its allure to the opposite sex. Scent- 9 out of 10 (mmm a caramel soda float) Longevity- 8 out of 10 (8 hours) Sillage-7 out of 10 (Disperses at arms length for max 2 hours and then becomes a close scent that will be smelt if they hug you or are extremely close to you.) Get it now while its still an unknown scent and own the scent and the compliment factors before it joins the ranks of scents that are so common it seems as if they pump it out of the airconditioning of every club that exists.

Pure XS Night for me was a LOVE at first sniff. I have never gotten my nose on the original but from what I hear it has a sweeter coca cola vibe whereas I don't detect that at all with this. Pure XS Night is definitely a sweet and dark fragrance. In the opening I get an Ultra Male vibe, but as this dries down the magic happens. The best way I can describe it is a sweet/dark/resinous freshness which I know does not make sense at all. An extremely sexy scent perfect for fall/winter. I plan on wearing this casually and for going out in the evening. Performance is excellent. I put one spray on my wrist to test it out, took a shower that same night, and could still detect it the next morning and even into the afternoon which is insane. It does sit closer to the skin, not as loud as Ultra Male, which to me is a good thing. Haven't gotten any opinions from the opposite sex yet but I can't see anyone disliking this. I am confused as to why this is not on any fragrance counters in the US. For a release in March 2019 you would think it would be everywhere but I have not seen any brick & mortar stores carrying this or even offering it on their website. I feel like this might be more of a limited release than the original.

I shouldn't like this nearly as much as I do. It's a distinctly masculine club fragrance, heavy on vanilla and caramel; on paper this is the exact type of thing I usually hate. Looking at the accords, I can nearly picture myself holding my breath while I pass through a sickly cloud of it in the men's bathroom at 1AM. And yet, I love it. Maybe it's the way it's blended, maybe it's the specific ingredients (I do think the myrrh is a factor), but ultimately it doesn't matter; this just works for me in a way that fragrances like this almost never do. Somehow the sweetness never overwhelms, despite having very little to balance it out, and it comes off as infinitely more cozy and than cloying. It reminds me of nothing more than sitting inside a nice bar on a frigid winter night, watching the streets outside through fogged windows, sipping a cocktail that tastes dangerously like an expensive confectionery treat instead of, you know, an alcoholic beverage. I can picture carefully zipping up my heavy parka before stepping into the bracing night air, and I can feel the protective bubble of intoxication sparing me from the cold. Ah, now I've gone and made myself wistful; that's how I know this one's special.
