Paco Rabanne Pure XS for Her ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 11 September 2018 11 Comments

Paco Rabanne has launched Pure XS for Her, the feminine counterpart to last year's Pure XS. Pure XS for Her is a flanker to 1994's XS Pour Elle.

Pure XS for her. The new female fragrance from Paco Rabanne. A wild provocative floral oriental, with the electrifying Emily Ratajkowski. Having it all. In excess. Disarming allure, you can feel her sex-appeal. Just a hint of nonchalance. Bold and beautiful. Tonnes of talent. As intoxicating as it is intriguing. Pure XS for her captivates, accelerates and escalates the senses. The origin of obsession. Ylang-ylang for the raw, the untamed, the erotic. Next up, hot vanilla and an intriguing popcorn-note burst. Excess in its purest state.

Pure XS for her. Excess in its purest state. A floral with a wild orgasmic bite. Ylang-ylang unleashes its raw erotica into the heat of hot vanilla. Audaciously devastating, viciously liberating, popcorn that packs a punch. 24/7 addiction. Popped puffed corn, musk, and milkwood notes ignite the skin. Desire-on-fire.

Additional notes include ambrette and sandalwood.

Paco Rabanne Pure XS for Her is available in 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Somehow I never thought of popcorn as audaciously devastating or viciously liberating. Nice snack though and great at an action movie. Guess I’m not the audience for this.

      But IIRC, they’re not the first to present it as such — although now I can’t remember which perfume was!

        Circus Fantasy from Britney Spears, I think!

        Well, I have and really enjoy ELdO’s Le Fin de Monde. Still I don’t see popcorn as the end of the world. Gunpowder maybe..

          Thank you! I was going nuts trying to remember that one.

            I absolutely loved that one. I agree with Turin’s review though. Well executed but still not at all sophisticated. I would replace my bottle if I could find some.

            Yep, pretty sure that’s the one I was trying to think of.

    Quentin Bisch posted this a few days ago as a teaser. I would give it a blotter test just for him.

    My inner potterhead is dying to know if this is an intentional flirt with Harry Potter and the Slytherin house. I mean, come on! It’s a potion looking bottle with a fricking snake one it, with the words Pure.

    Change the bottle into green, the snake to silver. Make the scent unisex, aquatic and call it Pure Ambition. And the potterhead community will shower you with money.

    Do you know how many potterheads would by this? Even the non Slytherins. I would by it and I’m a gryffindor.

    Explanation to the non potterheads: Slytherin is one of the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Wizardry. The Slytherin pupils are known for their ambition (and for being cunning and resourceful). The house colours are silver and green. The house symbol is a snake. The house element is water. They only accept pure blood wizards (with very few exceptions). And their head master is the potions master.
