The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Rabanne, Black XS Los Angeles for Her is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Émilie Coppermann. The composition opens with a bright and zesty citrus blend of bitter orange and lemon, infused with the sweetness of coconut and cranberry. This vibrant top note gives way to a heart of orchid, hellebore flower, jasmine, and magnolia, creating an intricate floral bouquet. The base notes include vanilla, caramel, amber, woody notes, white musk, and patchouli, offering a warm and enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced wear. The bright citrus notes fade after an hour, so reapply for a continuous scent experience. This fragrance is best suited for daytime or early evening events where its vibrant and warm character can shine.
