The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Olivier Cresp crafted Black XS L'Aphrodisiaque for Women in 2013 as a seductive blend of floral and oriental notes. The composition opens with the brightness of neroli and bitter orange, introducing a fresh, vibrant energy that contrasts beautifully with the rich warmth of vanilla and amber in the base. At its heart lies datura and rose, adding layers of sweetness and depth, while nasturtium and peach bring an unexpected fruity charm to the mix.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The fresh top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich vanilla and amber base notes will linger throughout the day, ensuring a lasting impression.
