Black XS for Her Fragrance Reviews:
add reviewI really like this one.
and I have to say that I love the bottle! :)


Some of my friends said before that it swas suitable for emo teenagers, but the bottle caught my eye and I still had to try it on.
It's not very complex or deep, but so and sweet addictive. Moreover, the sweetness in here is also kind of spicy thanks to the dash of pimento. When I have it on my I feel romantic and energetic, it always puts me in a good mood.
Perfect for both every day wear as well as for nights out!



The only downside might be that it's not very long-lasting; maybe it would have been even better as an EdP.



black xs smells so delicious i could easily eat it!! it is fairly strong, but its great because it stands out, and lingers for ages!! i love this!!


first of all the bottle is really nice,one of the bests I've ever seen and the fragrance inside...
well,I like it,but as some other members have mentioned it's not unique.personally I find it very similar to Escada Magnetism.there are a bunch of other fragrances I can name which smell very close to this one(maybe I'm wrong but my perfume memory tells me that)
I always thought there should be praline.now that I see the ingredients,I believe it's cacao,which makes it warm,sweet and magnetic like this.
nice for every age and though it's very creamy it can be wore even in summer.

á la Paco Rabanne!
This is the only fragrance where i smell all notes.Black XS is one of my favorite fragrances and for now my signature.
When i test it the first time, i really fall in love with this scent and bought a cute bottle.I wish i could say Black XS is unique but it's not,bacause Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf smells very similar to this one,the difference is that Black XS has more woody and deep fruity notes,flowerbomb is at the end really sweet like sugar and don't have these dominant woody/spicy notes.
The scent in general is romantic,a bit gothic,and rocking,very creamy and sensual.In the beginning you smell the crisp fruitiness of the cranberrys and the spicy touch by the pink pepper,then it becomes softer you can smell the cacao(i love it) and the violet it's powdery, and the velvet rose.At the end it's really warm and woody, and dry of the patchouli and you smell the sweetness of the vanilla.
It's so delicious,this fragrance is one i would like to eat.The scent last very long and it's a good fragrance for the colder day's and very good for the nightlife,but also for special events and the daytime.It's really feminine and also a bit cheeky and cute,playful at the same time.
The Bottle is a heart full of dark,sweet love,it really reflect the scent.The Bottle is a combination of the modern style and the rock, and the old gothic romatic.I don't found any negative things at this wonderful fragrance..or...maybe one... little... that it's so popular.


At first its super syrupy sweetness, tart and slightly spicy cranberry. That lasts a few minutes and the violets add powder, cacao adds warmth and the rose smells freshly picked. The notes blend harmonously but lighten up as they carry down to the the bottom notes.
Powdery violets and tart cranberries carry to the dry down but only slightly as the woodsy notes take center stage. Massoia wood is described as having a sweet, coconut-like aroma which makes the dry down woodsy yet somewhat sweet along with vanilla. The dry down is unusual and different!

I might be partial when it comes to describing Black XS. I simply love this fragrance... It's beautiful, unique, great - no, these are such an average attributes for me...
Let me tell the story of our relationship. My nameday was coming, and I wanted a really unconventional, mark-out-of-the-crowd, strong one with an own personality. My parents and I were searching for half an hour, when it finally caught my eye, and I tried it. I immediately knew - this is what I had been looking for! From that time, it is my signature scent, but I don't use it so often. I save it for those moments which I share with my boyfriend... Those are one of the most precious moments in my life... He loves it too, and I gave him my very first bottle of this perfume, so that he could smell it anytime when he misses me... It's such a wonderful feeling, when we're together in his room, and he says "You smell beautiful..."
That's why I'm so partial... And that's why I can't really describe this perfume... Because Black XS means much more than a scent to me...


I am partial to sweeter scents & I bought this un sniffed based on reviews.
It does dry down & sweeten up slightly.I can smell the cranberries & definitely the patchouli.I also do finally get a bit if the vanilla as it dries down further.My mother would have loved this perfume as she loved patchouli.This is very much patchouli with hints of berries.I don't get much of the floral in this but I guess if I try really hard I can pick up some of the rose.
It is a nice scent. I like it more & more as it goes through it's transformation on my skin with time.
I think it would be great at a late night bon fire on a chilly night.


Bottle doesn't match this fragrance. It's sweet and syrupy and somehow messy. Nothing dark in here. It didn't get me excited, but I don't mind to receive as a gift :D For me I think it requires to wear it a few times to love it more.

Black XS is sweet, the cranberry screams in our face at first, but it is terribly good. It´s also very conforting: the wood notes on the drydown mixed with the sweet results in a warm sensation that is very good.
Very feminine, with an attitude.



I wouldnt say i hate it.. but its not me. FAR FAR FAR too sweet.. I find it sweeter by flowerbomb which is really saying something... and a bit more headachy!
Its warm, sweet and sugary and it is uplifting.. and it is unique. But its so strong i can only spay it on clothes or I want to rip my skin off!!
However the bottle is fabulous.. it looks more purple than in the pic..really cute for a baeuty desk!
This fragrance is defiently a must have for all women.


on the contrary, the scent is mediocre. sweet, vanillic, but not stunning or deep to enough to enchant people. the woodsy vanilla stands out among other notes.
perfect for summer.


On me, smell like a sweet and spicy tamarind dessert, mix with milk dessert, and a little touch of coconut (must be the sweet and sensual cacao :D ) Its amazing sensuous ¡¡¡
I can sense the touch of pimento too...
Its a sexy wonderful perfume :D ... my next add :D
It makes me feel sexy and powerful and it captures the darkest side of me!
It is feminine and classy, in a rebel way!
It lasts all day long and i recomend it!
Wonderful!



Not for everybody, but definitely for me.

It is a sweet, lovable, sexy and , yet strong parfume!
After drying down it is marvelous!




It's best at colder weather like rainy season or something.
