Paco Rabanne Black XS 2018 eau de toilette for men combines fresh citrus and aromatic notes with a sweetly spiced heart and a woody-ambery base.

Fragrance and Composition

• The composition's character is defined by an oriental-woody fragrance family.
• The fresh opening features citrus, lemon, sage and marigold.
• The sweetly spiced heart combines praline, cinnamon, Tolu balsam and black cardamom.
• The woody base contains patchouli, black amber, ebony and rosewood.
• The fragrance has an Eau de Toilette concentration.
• Perfumers Olivier Cresp and Rosendo Mateu are credited with its creation.
• The original Black XS for men was launched in 2005.

The result is a contrast of a fresh opening, a sweetly spiced middle and a woody-ambery finish.
