Black XS L'Exces for Him Paco Rabanne for men

sorry for my english french people
love this frangrance
like black xs but more strong and very fruity

last forever

will have for all

ah a question please i want to know if you any one know this site salamzone.com ? is it a serious site ? the perfums are original ? thank you

A clean, strong blackcurrant aroma which dazzles to begin with...

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0- 30 secs- OMG, WOW! Delicious, sexy, extremely well made, blows the female equivalent frag out of the water. One of the best openings I have ever smelt. This is prime blackcurrant with a night time twist, which is so much better than the original Black XS which I find quite bland IMHO.. Now this is how to market a frag!

30 secs - 1 hour - 1 foot projection, but the 30 sec masterpiece smell has gone and now a nice, not night time, decent blackcurrant aroma

1 hour - 2 hours - 6 inch projection, less strong

2 - 4 hours - 3.5 inch projection, same smell since after that 1st 30 secs. Linear frag

4 hours - 7 hours. 1 inch projection tops, close to skin

Amazing opening which is too die for

I've never had any issues with "Black XS" lasting power so I was quite interested in smelling its "eau de toilette intense" version.

"Black XS L'Excès" is very close to its older brother, with a dominant top note that reminded me of pineapple, as already noted by some. The rest of the composition is a combination of "Black XS" and "212 VIP". Nothing new or groundbreaking. I'll continue with the traditional "Black XS".

Got a sample of this and tried it. It's nice, I get this super sweet opening I know it's Amalfi lemon but for some reason I think pineapples when I smell this. Projection is great, this is a good summer scent and definitely has good longevity. At first when I sprayed on my wrist, I didn't like it but then when I tried it on my neck it was pretty nice. Giving this 8/10.

Today my younger brother came back from Paris, and bought me a new edition of Black XS-a of 100 mL. :-) Price, only 50 euros! He says that all other perfumes are as well as in our country, similar price, and this one was on promotion. :-) I'm off the package. The design is similar predecessor, the only innovation is a metal pendant with small skull hanging on the left side of the bottle. Very interesting look :-) Persistence, caused him today around 16h, and still smells nice on my wrist, therefore, the resistance is in the range predecessors, 8 + hours. Aura. The first difference you notice when you apply it is that this is actually a tamer version of its predecessor, though the name should be the other way around! But that's what impressed me was the very first day of wearing! It opens with a beautiful and strong tropical notes of pineapple, which is imbued with a combination of acid, green, and those caramel, praline notes from predecessors. So the opening is completely different, but the theme of the perfume is very similar, and each will recall the good old Black XS, which I normally use for years. Only opening to me indicates that perfume is perfect for warmer days, spring and summer, it is no longer as dark and too blatant as the old Oriental. While BLACK XS was primarily intended for evening, even during the colder times, his successor was very polite, nice and elegant perfume, which I will be happy to wear all year, and at work when I was dressed elegantly, but also in all the casual occasions when I go to town with friends for a cup of coffee. I really like the fragrance after the opening of a beautiful tropical, gradually merging with the earthy, woody notes, is linear throughout its duration, but it really smells wonderful, and I like that is completely incorporated. Only the addition of the name is different from the oils, because as I said at the outset, this seems a lot tamer, so to say and politely from his older brother. One would have thought based on the advertisements that this is a rebellious, attack, sharp scent, but it really is not, it is very elegant and pleasant blend of tropical, earthy and woody notes. I highly recommend it to everyone, because you can wear it always and everywhere! :-)

Update:
After a shower and 8 hours the new XS is still on my wrist and so good:) The original XS slides away for 2 hours...

First smell is quite better than the original black xs, fresher, but after the top notes becomes something smell and this smell is like a feminine scent that I know but I don't know the name of it...

I'm not a big fan of Paco Rabanne scents except for Ultraviolet which in my opinion is so different and alien. I tend to find that alot of his fragrances are aimed at teenagers and you can almost expect to smell these at a nightclub etc.

I seen the ad for L'exces and thought why not give it a sniff.

All I can say is this is absolutely beautiful, very aromatic, and yes it is similar to the original Black XS, but this is definately its darker, sexier big brother.

It starts off with a blast of lemon, lavender and what smells to me something almost sexual and animalistic.

It then settles down into this warm (and still incredibly sexy) woody amber-esque aromatic. If you like your guy to smell really good or you just want a fragrance that will get you alot of compliments, then L'exces is the way to go!

Paco you have won me over. :D

I tried it once today. The initial smell is somewhat similar to the original, but the drydonw.... WTH it smell like Lacoste Essentials.
I don`t understand the image they are trying to convey, this to me is in no way a dark type of fragrance, it is not mysterious in any way. Its light playful, daytime scent to me, somewhat sporty...<
Am I the only one who feels this smells like Essentials??

During a buying crave today, I asked the shop assistant for the previous “Black XS” I am intrigued by the reviews of Black XS so I gave it another chance. However, expecting the immense Strawberry opening that XS delivers, I was greeted with a delightful lemony, flowery, beautiful, warm, powdery-musk, clean, but masculine scent. I thought, “Wow, is this a different bottle.” Looking at the label properly, I read “Black XS L’ EXCESS.” I had it wrong, this was not the XS strawberry bomb! However, I was not disappointed. I felt like buying it right there and then!

While looking at the skull on the black bottle, and the metal promotional skull on the shelf, the lady said, “Yes, it is for young people.” While I (smell) knew what she meant, I was not perturbed by the young take, as I will easily acquire a bottle (50ml perhaps) for myself.

To be perfectly honest, I am unable to describe the notes, except to say there is there is definately lemon, some lavender, and Patchouli. This is delightful, unique, original and highly recommended.

If you want to start a new perfumery era with this 2012 release, this is ideal. I am sure this fragrance will carve memories of partying and good times into the olfactory minds of many a youngster. This I say due to its advertising, its pitch and the dark, exploring, late teenager’s natural curiosity with the dead. However, for me, the marketing pitch is insignificant in cologne.

I will certainly explore this again on my next shopping experience (as I only got most of the the top notes, I am sure) allowing the juices to flow and the later notes to be revealed combined with my chemistry. Who knows, I might just buy a bottle as it is intriguing, surprisingly awesome, and perhaps just for the hell of it?

Update : Gave this another test. The shop assistant placed a seed in my mind "Pineapple". I never smelled it before.

I want to smell the dry down to give this another chance. If this has a pleasant base notes and the excellent longevity I am looking for, I will not hesitate to buy it.

Please let me know as I have my eye on this one.

Almost exactly like Black XS, with a very dominant pineapple flavor.

smells like the original but alot sweeter

black xs is the only scent that suits my boyfriend and it makes him smell so sexy, so when I saw a new one i was quite excited, but it's a let down. without the praline i bet it will smell harsh like every other male scent and I loved Black xs as it was different.
The notes still look interesting but i guess ill have to wait and smell it.

Is this going to smell like every other scent now on "the popular shelfs"?.... But maybe the Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha will give it that edge. I have stopped looking at the recent mainstream fragrances and went back to some unique ingredients like cherry blossom and gardenia. On the other hand a fragrance like Dolce and Gabana pour homme the one and Terre d`Hermes Parfum Hermes is quite unique. But these recent fragrances are just too bublegummy sweety pie for me. But I will go and test Black Xs and update my review later based on an informed `nose`.

I like the image that conveys this perfume.
In terms of personality, I think that this fragrance will have much to do with me.
Advertising is excellent. The great Iggy Pop has a style much in the image of this new XS, though age does not forgive and these Black XS's is intended almost exclusively for young people and teenagers.
Still, for me this should be excellent.

Where is the praline? the one note that made black xs unique, is absent. I'm still excited about this, and I would most likely adore and love the scent, but this is going to smell like every other scent now.
