Black XS L'Exces by Paco Rabanne

Decided to pick this one up from chemist warehouse on a sale and since then I’ve gone through 3 bottles! My fiancé absolutely loves the smell of this on me and loves smelling it. It’s definitely a perfume to wear out on a date, night out, drinks or event. It is one of the only perfumes I own that actually keeps the scent strong (but not too strong) throughout the night/day. I find 3 sprits does the trick! It’s high end without the high end budget.

I got this in duty free and risked not smelling it first because I just loved the the bottle but it did more than impress me! I LOVE the smell. If you are after a night time bold and sexy smell this is for you. It is very strong so you dont need to use too much which is a bonus as it lasts longer.

I was gifted a 50ml of this fragrance for my 21st and I absolutely adore it.

I'm not great with explaining a fragrance but I definitely felt this was a night time fragrance. You know the one you put on before a dinner date or out for a few drinks with the girls? Yip, this is what I would always wear.

For myself i loved the floral scent you can definitely smell when spritzed on. It's not overpowering or a smell that would essentially put you off but rather subtle instead. Read above description if you would like the 'proper' description of notes :)

The longevity of this perfume is fantastic! When I first started wearing it I carried it around in my handbag just incase it wore off. But it was not needed! It stays on for several hours. Dulls down by the end of the day but is always left lingering on the skin.

One thing I love about this perfume is the price. Its affordable compared to some of the others on the market and there are different sizes. This is one of the perfumes I have asked for my 30th birthday! So that must be saying something if I love it all these years later :)

wow wow, just stunning, everybody compliments this perfume, woody, slightly heady, and sweet florals all rolled into one beautiful scent.. i just love it , wish the bottles were bigger but ooh you get what you pay for, stunning, a definate keeper

I adore this fragrance, Its a adult night out scent to me - its a sweet, deep and almost intriguing scent. Smells so nice when you spray it onto a clothing item as it soaks in. Longevity and silage is quite good. I have a scarf that I wore and sprayed this fragrance onto for a few weeks and it still smells like it months later. Its a winter/fall scent, its warm and sultry almost. One of my all time fragrances and will continue to buy and wear.

I find this scent super sexy, I feel sexy wearing it. I have the 50ml bottle and will repurchase once this has finished, I love it that much.

Neroli and black pepper are the first notes that you pick up, then come jasmine and rose, but not so floral it puts you off if you dont like floral, then you get the final notes which I love are vanille and cashmere. It will last most of the day without a top up which is great value for money. The bottle is really awesome, the top is black and then fades down to almost clear.

sexy, strong and sensual with an attitude and oh so unapologetic! I got given a gift set with a body lotion which i used as hand cream as a cheeky treat during the day! Its such a heady scent so you can get away using the body lotion only... or combine with the spray for a special occassion and it lingers on your senses for hours. I love it when you can still catch whiffs of your own fragrance hours after applying it... this one definitely does that....

I was given this as a gift from someone travelling to NZ from Australia. She knew I wore Black XS by Paco Rabanne. I liked this version of Black XS but do prefer the ordinary Black XS For Her. The scent is sweet, strong and slightly musky and wears down nicely though it goes on strong. And although the base notes are vanilla and cashmere wood the floral notes of jasmine and rose add a floral finish that softens the spicy top notes. The packaging is solid and very cool. Loved the skull.

I first discovered this perfume when a friend arrived back from Australia - to me it is definitely a statement perfume, it is quite strong so it pays not to be too heavy handed with it. The packaging I beautiful and the scent always gets a lot of compliements - Love love love paco rabanne perfumes

I first purchased Black XS a few years ago when I fell in love with the cute little bottle and the beautiful scent. The base note of Vanilla is what drew myself to purchasing this beauty, so I got it in the smallest bottle of 30ml at the time to see how it would last throughout the day, with the perfect size to go into my handbag. Now it is one that needs reapplying part way through the day for a refreshing scent, but not much is required.

Part way through the bottle, I noticed it went missing. Sadly, I thought I had misplaced it like I usually did or left it somewhere at my mum's place like I do everytime I'm visiting. To my surprise my mum took it! She loved it so much, she thought she would make it hers. Not worried at all I let her have it as she wasn't one to buy perfume for herself but re-purchased it for myself.

To this day I still love this perfume, and so does she. It's the perfect present for Mother's Day at a great price, plus now I don't have to take mine down when I go visit her.
