The story behind the bottle.
Black XS for Her Eau de Parfum by Rabanne, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Émilie Coppermann, is a bold Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. The composition opens with cranberry and pink pepper, bringing a vibrant and fresh energy to the forefront. As it develops, notes of cacao and rose add depth and warmth, while black violet and sandalwood create an intriguing contrast between sweetness and earthiness.
This fragrance is best applied in light layers — two sprays to start. The cranberry and pink pepper are bright but fleeting, so let it settle for about ten minutes before reapplying if you want a stronger presence of the cacao and rose notes. It's perfect for evening wear or any occasion where you want to feel powerful yet approachable.
