Paco Rabanne Black XS Eau de Toilette is a fruity, sweet, and warm spicy oriental fragrance for men. It is widely celebrated as a dark yet playful "night-out" scent with a distinctive, chocolatey-strawberry undertone.
The scent journey breaks down as follows:
-
Top Notes: The fragrance opens with a sharp, bright, and slightly tart burst of Calabrian lemon and sage.
-
Heart Notes: As it settles, it reveals its signature sweet and gourmand core. You will notice rich, decadent notes of praline (sugared nuts) and cinnamon, blended with warm black cardamom. This is where the fragrance gets its famous dark-fruity (almost strawberry or cherry-like) chocolate vibe.
- Base Notes: The dry down is deep, virile, and smooth, anchored by black amber, patchouli, and Brazilian rosewood.
