Paco Rabanne Black XS Los Angeles ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 18 March 2016 6 Comments

Paco Rabanne Black XS Los Angeles

Paco Rabanne has launched Black XS Los Angeles, new fragrances for women and men. The Black XS Los Angeles scents are limited edition flankers to the brand’s rock-oriented Black XS (2005) and Black XS Pour Elle (2007).

Black XS Los Angeles for Her ~ "...gourmand vanilla, enchanting amber, earthy woods. Black XS L.A. for her has a tender heart in which the famous hellebore rose and orchid meet the exoticism and intoxicating base notes of rum. On the surface, a delicate coconut water, lively cranberries, and bitter orange with a thick bark come face to face with the tenderness of tamarind leaf." In 50 ml Eau de Toilette.

Black XS Los Angeles for Him ~ "Black XS L.A. for him adopts a crystalline mineral base softened by a cinnamon heart. In the top notes, sun-soaked Florida orange offers a dynamic, invigorating and exuberant start, while a clary accent adds sensuality and density to the accord." In 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

    Sounds terrible as expected. So strange that the masses enjoy these Tide detergent smelling scents.

      I have not tried these, but the original BXS for women was darned sweet, not Tide-like at all. And for what it was, it wasn’t bad. Not me, but not bad.

    The men’s one sounds interesting – perhaps I’ll persuade my husband to try it, as he has been wearing the original Black XS for some years now & I’ve never been that fond of it!
