The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994 by Rabanne, XS Pour Elle is a floral fragrance created by Gérard Anthony. The composition opens with the bright freshness of mandarin orange and neroli, leading into a heart of water jasmine, peony, freesia, and ylang-ylang that feels both airy and lush. The base notes of amber, musk, and sandalwood bring warmth and depth, creating a fragrance that is simultaneously delicate and enveloping.
Apply this fragrance in layers for the best effect — start with one spray and wait ten minutes before adding more. The top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the base notes develop gradually over time. This scent is ideal for evening wear when you want something that feels both fresh and warm.
