About This Perfume
Black XS for Her Eau de Parfum by Rabanne is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Black XS for Her Eau de Parfum was launched in 2018. Top notes are Cranberry, Pink Pepper and Tamarind; middle notes are Cacao, Rose and Black Violet; base notes are Black Vanilla Husk, Sandalwood and Massoia Wood. At the beginning of 2018, Paco Rabanne launches a new version of the popular fragrance Black XS for Her, which came out in 2007, now in an Eau de Parfum interpretation. Black XS for Her Eau de Parfum is announced as an oriental-woody composition with fruity and floral accords, which does not deviate much from the original pyramid. It starts with a combination of cranberries and the flower of the exotic tropical tree Tamarind. The heart combines the floral notes of black violet and Hellebore rose, after which the base brings notes of massoia wood and black vanilla. The fragrance is available as a 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

The Brand

Rabanne

Rabanne (formerly Paco Rabanne) is a Spanish-French designer house whose fragrance line is anchored by the 1 Million and Invictus pillars. 98 Rabanne perfumes are on Scendira, priced from about $29 to $325. In the community conversations Scendira reads, Rabanne Invictus comes up first, then Rabanne 1 Million Elixir and Rabanne 1 Million Lucky.

How the top picks smell

Rabanne Invictus (Eau de Toilette, 2013) opens with marine notes and grapefruit and ends on ambergris, gaiac wood and oakmoss; overall it reads as cool ocean breeze, grapefruit and bay leaf. For Rabanne 1 Million Elixir (2022), expect warm vanilla cream with sweet apple and spice: apple and davana up top, vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli underneath. Rabanne 1 Million Lucky (Eau de Toilette, 2018) comes across as juicy plum, grapefruit and creamy honey on woody cedar, with greengage plum and grapefruit at the start and oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver at the base.

FAQ

Common questions.

From community discussion. Scendira reads what people say about a perfume on forums, social groups and video platforms, then turns it into scores for longevity, projection and blind-buy safety. Notes and accords come from public catalogue data. We say nothing when there is too little evidence to judge.

A perfume judged relatively approachable without trying it first. The Blind Buy Safety score combines community ratings and first-wear reports with catalogue data, not marketing. Skin chemistry still varies, so sample first when you can.

No. Scendira is not affiliated with any fragrance house and does not take paid reviews. No brand can pay to rank higher or be recommended by Dira. Buy links are affiliate links: we may earn a small commission, and you pay the same price.
