Black XS L'Exces by Paco Rabanne

This perfume is amazing, one of my favourites, although I don't reach for it every day as it is rich and spicy. I save it for the winter and for going out at night. It smells very sweet but not sickly - like spiced cookies or mulled wine.

I only got this perfume last year, but it has quickly become one of my favorite ones. When you first spray it on you, it smells very strong and almost not nice. However, give it a couple of minutes and it develops into a wonderful warm, deep, long-lasting fragrance. It smells like warm vanilla, roses, woody and sweet all at the same time. I love love love this perfume and have already used two bottles!

The Product:

- I own both the EDP and EDT. Both are divine. - The bottle size I own is the 80ml 2.7 FL.OZ. I find this lasts me a really long time (A month and a half to two months of every day use). - This is my signature scent. I think it is delicious and always gets compliments. However I do occasionally wear it when wearing something slightly more dressy. -I have been wearing it every day for roughly 4 years now. Never get tired of this lovely scent. - Originally my first bottle was a Christmas present from my mother who adores perfumes and she thought it suited my personality. She couldn't have been more accurate.

The Scent:

- It is a very sweet fragrance. When initially applied you really smell the middle floral notes of the perfume, however over the course of the day it mellows into a heavenly vanilla. - It generally lasts during the day very well. Every now and again it will also catch on the wind and reminds you that you are wearing it. Super lovely. Even as it mellows during the day and goes through its various changes, you still receive compliments.

The Bottle:

-The bottle is a lovely colour (a red/crimson colour with a black lid). It also has a lovely rose flower protruding from the glass which ties into the bold lettering which also has a rose printed above it. -It looks very attractive in the cupboard.

Price:

-I very much think it is worth the price tag. Although it is an expensive purchase, I never tire of it, and it lasts such a long time.

When i first smelt this perfume i was sure i was going to buy it. It is quite a strong smell, but, it has a sexy musk smell to it which makes me fall in love with the smell. I have worn this and got compliments, but have also been told it is too strong and gave them a headache! I thought that was hilarious. Certain fragrances are not for everyone, but this strong long lasting perfume is the one for me.

I smelt this perfume around Novemeber 2013 and went "Ewww I dont like it" - As I proceeded in walking around the mall it grew on me and I had to have it, my amazing fiancé presented it to me for Christmas. It is now my favourite and I wear almost everyday & on my wish list for every Birthday and Christmas. I Can't get enough of it and get major compliments every where I go. I would love to own shares in this fragrance haha. I go out and can party quite hard on the weekends and I still come home smelling tasty.

I have the 80ml Bottle, The bottle itself is something special, its sexy and carries a stand out design. The Price is well worth it, esp if you want something to draw attention while out.

This is my fave perfume! It smells so so amazing and I feel so sensual when I wear it. I also love the bottle. You only need a few sprays and it lingers for hours! This is my trusty go to :)

I have worn black xs on and off for years, I find it an awesome go to perfume, and it's such a sweet sexy scent! I find that only a couple of sprays lasts they whole day, which when you factor in the price of it, makes it a really reasonable daily wear perfume!

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 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.

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.
