Black XS (for men)

scenturian

Starts with blast of strawberry accord. But i dont c here in the listed notes.
And then in 15 minutes settles down to a warm, woody and gourmandish base.
When compare to 1million is much more wearable.
Enough sillage and longevity.
As like many other paco-rabannes it is more suitable 4younger crowd.

When I wear this perfume , people can't resist getting closer and smelling me real deep !

Some might say:" So Strange ! "
Some might say: " Unfamiliar "
Some might say: " Extra fruity "

But no one ever could pass by without leaving some comment .

It's an extraordinary fragrance .

At first sniff there is confusion – sharp lemon sherbet, strawberry bootlaces & old-wood floors covered in bags of dust...how can this be 'black'?!

At this stage it is a little bit ‘car crash’…. I keep checking & re-checking the strange ‘dusty top of sweet cupboard’ smell. I can’t leave my wrist alone, not because I am addicted to this new olfactory sensation, not because it is unpleasant or repulsive in any way, but because I cannot for the life of me understand it…yet. It is as bizarre & intriguing in its mismatched scent-mix as sugar-coated insect snacks!

Suddenly I am aware of heavily powdered roses……deep, rich, darkly, treacle-sweet roses so dustily powdered that it makes the air thick to breathe. To my nose there is something very pleasant & comforting about this, like opening an old, drawer of ancient cosmetics, down powder puffs, broken keepsakes & old mini-bottles of crystallizing amber liqueurs & cinnamon sticks tied with a ribbon. It remains like this on my skin for hours – a dried old rose, a once-cherished memory of a long-gone lover, now forgotten & gathering dust.

This scent is very unisex - deeply feminine, even. However, on men’s skin I have noted that it mixes well with the natural male salty muskiness to create an edgier scent. It is at once safe & nostalgic but also a little bit dangerous. You may expect a powdered dandy to wear this scent, but I see guitar picks, liquorice roll-ups, creaking leather, cunning & steel. Many have said this scent is so feminine that it is a turn-off for women, but I disagree. Never underestimate the power of curiosity at drawing in a potential date….I have spent longer with my nose buried in my arm than with any other traditional male scent!

Do not dismiss this as girly – after a while you will see this rose has thorns.

theres nothing "black or dark" about this scent it smells like a better version of D&G light blue for women very summery
i've read ALOT of reviews on other sites saying this smells like strawberries but i don't smell strawberries at all just lemon some other fruit and sage

The only thing i like about this scent is the drydown it smells like creamy woods and roses

the scent always changes on me some days i hate it and some days i love it

setlamai

I hate it . Not even close to my perfume style .Weird mix of fruit with chemicals . Smells cheap to me .

the lemon and a smell of strawberries hit me in the face and i wanted to eat my wrist.
after almost 4 hours i still get this strawberry, maybe it is a combination of the praline with something else.
i kinda like black xs but it is "too yummy" for me to wear.

this one is not for everyone...U have to be a bad boy to use it.

A guy who is a dark outside and a rose inside.

hmmm - there is something i really love - like most of Olivier Cresp composed fragrances... he is a real "fresh´n´modern smell" wizard!

i tried it today on my neck... its a nice scent - and i am not big fan of sweets like this - but thats the best on it - sweet and fresh - but after few minutes there is something not so very nice...

a smell like mud...? which note it is? tolu balsam or...? they should erase it!.-) ok - i know - there must be something really masculine... it is?!

I like this one a lot but I´m worried about the image that it transmits, meaning it´s not a masculine scent at all, it smells like a pineapple lollipop, maybe some women find that sexy but it still makes me very uncomfortable. Maybe it works just fine for metrosexuals.

I love the black xs for her but after smelling this man version i feel like maybe i should have bought this one instead cuz it's a little lighter than the woman's version not to heady. maybe when i'll get it when i finish black xs for her. I agree with some that this should have been marketed as a unisex perfume instead.

This cologne is spicy. It has a strong fruit note that I'm not sure I'm crazy about. Must be the lemon. Also quite long lasting. It's good, but not the best.

This is one of the worst fragrances that I've ever smelled. At first, when I sprayed it on the test strip, the mango smelled is pretty cool so I decided to put it on my skin. OMG, what a awful experience, the sweetness was so unbearable. So feminine, so strong, so "are you kidding me?". I really cannot imagine anyone with this smell. THUMB DOWM!

This scent reminds me of a stronger richer version of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women. I think if Light Blue had a EDP version it would smell like Black XS for men.

I really love this scent and obtain many great complements from wearing it - works great in warmer spring / summer weather.

periquito89

I like this. Where's the mango note? I don`t know but in the beginnig there is that smell. Really a good one, a good sweet, not at all that kind of sweet that could nauseates. The "fresh mango smell" in the very beginning is a surprise, and just some minutes later that fresh goes away and leaves this fruit-sweet smell, and, in the ending ... a woody scent! I bought one ":-D!

asfa

its 1 of the best and unigue perfume in the market,sexy dark and praline in???????? so super for young ppl

Lucifer_666_

this is greath perfume is my favorite is (Deep&Dark)>6>6>6> both not power,not persiste very much (2-3h)

tommy_girl

good news for couples!Black XS couple perfumes smell harmonically the same.in fact I've never seen a perfume in which the smelling for men and women become so similar like this.Black XS for men opens very strongly and sweet and as time passes I smell something like bubble gum or at least it's the best way I can describe it.
do I like my man smell like bubble gum?
lol,in fact it feels good and it's not repetetive like so many other eau de colognes at all.I like cardamom scent in perfumes for men very much.so that's why I consider it as a "might buy" fragrance for my BF.

at first the cologne smells like Mango and smells a bit weird but when the smell starts settling in, you will absolutely love the cologne and its longetivity especially in winter ... the aftermath of the smell is just pure heaven and the girls will definetly love it ... its a chick magnet ...

This is a great weapon for men. It really attracts opposite sex and arouse curiosity. If you are looking for masculinity, freshness and sweetness this is the one for you.

It is very easy on the nose, can be worn any time of the day and fairly cheap.

pumpkinqueen

I wear this even though it is owned by my fiance.. amazing!

Sexy, unique, fresh yet spicy... and it is not too young. It is deffinately a in your 20's-30's age range.. and is a smell for the all day/ day light hours.

Perfect for the coffee shop, beach, shopping or gym... and it looks great too. Fabulous black bottle which is always a nice gift!!

When I use Black XS girls ask me what perfume i'm wearin', 'because its sexy. The best of the fragrance is the mango note. It's very hard to me choose between Black Xs and Paris Hilton for Men. Both have mango, but Paris Hilton for men has green mango.

toyoutoyou

It's a fantastic creation! It's as sexy as it can get.

ticalau

retro_trash

noddoc

guest_Papillon

It makes my heartbeat and quickly pump.
I'm so excited when I found a sexy fragrance,then two hours later I found myself in the mall and will buying this one.I remembered that.I'm just say it's a must have and it will smell good on u.
I'm sure.

feyza

better than this is impossible I think...paco rabanne is great!

noddoc

i am crazy about it, this is perfect fragrance, a bit sweet and sexy smell, i want to scream when i wear it.

guest_greg

some say its too sweet and womanly for a man. actualy i also would say its an unisex scent (more than many of cavin klein which are said to be unisex), but still I use it and it makes girls crazy for me.

Aeternitas

This is a great scent, as well as the Black XS for women which is actually my favorite perfume:) I bought the Black XS deodorant spray for my boyfriend because he loved it so much. The actual perfume is, in fact, pretty sweet, but I do find a lot of masculinity in it as well. It's nice, kind of rock n' roll.
