After very successful editions Black XS for Her and Black XS for Him, Paco Rabanne is launching two new fragrances— Black XS L'Exces for Her and Black XS L'Exces for Him which will hit the shelves in early 2012. Since 2005 till today, Paco Rabanne has introduced several limited bottles (without changing the composition) which suggested a close connection with music. The bottles were decorated with guitar-shaped pendants, gift sets included USB sticks and players shaped like silver cassettes with headphones, while the advertising campaign for Black XS was also accompanied by models holding guitars.

The composition of fragrance for women Black XS L'Exces for Her is created by perfumer Emilie Copperman, while men's version Black XS L'Exces for Him is created by Fabrice Pellegrin—as reported by influencia.net

With the new fragrances, Paco Rabanne announces the return of the skull in the first plan—in characteristic flacons shaped like original editions Black XS from 2005 and Black XS for Her from 2007, decorated with pendants made of silver metal, shaped like skulls and silver roses. Colors of the women's flacon were changed in comparison with the original and they are iridescent, from black and cyclamen pink to pale pink. The bottle has a massive bottom which is transparent and poses contrast to the body of the new editions. The outer carton contains a rose typical of these editions and is accompanied with a skull illustration.

The new fragrances can be expected from January 2012 on perfumery shelves! We will inform you on the compositions shortly!

Iggy! Really??? You should have a piece of raw meat in your hand. Or maybe a bloody ax.
I wonder if this cologne would be available in the main stream markets like Macy's, Nordstrom and Sephoria? Hopefully they don't cause I like to keeps hidden gems low key.
I would LOVE to try out this baby, not motivated at all by the photo ad...
omg... i love this add campain, but wouldn't Johnny Rotton be a great choice x))
I have Blaxk xs for her, and I so want this one :)
Quite possibly the best fragrance ad I've seen!
The perfumes could be crap (as many variations of other perf-s are), but!!! the ad's idea is great.
Lujza:
I know I offended you with my comments, and I did say in my review I was aware I was being mean and I agree everyone should be happy to be older and not self concious of how they look but there is a difference between being happy and confident and older and just looking rediculous. It looks like he has been wheeled out of retirement and told "here stand there and hold this." I am commenting more on the add and the whole way it is photographed I think it doesn't do the perfume justice or Iggy for that matter. It doesn't make the most of his appearance in fact most people would look awkward in this add it's just all wrong not so much the fact that Iggy is older now we all get older I get that. This add is as bad as the Dakota Fanning add for Oh Lola Marc Jacobs it just makes a fool out of the person ie Iggy or Dakota.
Funny (but not really) how this follows almost all new flankers - it's all about the limited edition bottle and accessories it comes with. The point doesn't seem to be about the fragrance anymore - just about how cool the bottle will look on your dresser. How boring.
Iggy - you could have done SO much better than to help sell this crap.
WHAT is WRONG to BE OLD:)C'MON GAY's:/ I GAT BORN WHIT FRESH MODELS like "BODY" in BURBERRY,IT IS NOTHING SPECIAL TO TOLK ABOT THAT! BUT THIS GAY WORT EVRY PENY>TO BE WITH THOSE WRINKALS AND TO LIVE WITE NOT FEAR OF DEATH-THAT Is HONEST TO CELEBRAT!BRAVO:@
I know this is mean but Iggy looks absolutely rediculous. I remember him when I was a kid and he was zainey at the best of times but now he just looks terrible and the way he is holding the bottle is just out of place he clearly should not be a model. The audience that would be interested in this perfume probably don't know who Iggy Pop is and he doesn't entice you to the product. I understand the whole rock thing but Iggy really? It's supposed to be a sexy perfume for women and then there is this old fool in your face and he couldn't look more grumpy if he tried I would be grumpy too if I had to stand there holding that bottle so rediculously. Oh well I know that's not nice to say but as you guessed this add campaign really annoys me and makes me laugh uncontrollably at the same time I got a shock when the picture downloaded it just was not what I was expecting. I have Black Xs for her and I struggle with it to say the least so I will be interested to see what this is like.
This was one of the rare moments where my mouth dropped open not from shock, but pure excitement. I have both Black XS Pour Homme & Black XS Pour Elle and i love both.
I do not think Black XS Pour Homme can be improved on, but I'd love to see how this turns out. And im excited to see what improvisions will be done on the bottle.
Waiting to smell it !
Iggy Pop? Seriously?
I will be looking forward to the release as I do love Black XS but many of the "intense" type releases recently have been a let-down.
An edp oh yes this could be something I have been waiting for the black xs edt I found didn't last on me! This will be fun to test! I can wait to see the notes!
Very cool! I've had Black XS in my wishlist for awhile, but I think I'll wait for the new bottle and formula offered here.
