Launched in 2018 by Rabanne, XS (2018) is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men and women, created by perfumers Gérard Anthony and Rosendo Mateu. The composition opens with mint, bergamot, lemon, and juniper berries, creating an invigorating and fresh spicy aromatic accord. This initial burst of freshness is followed by coriander and geranium, adding a warm green layer to the fragrance. As it settles, rosemary and oakmoss introduce a woody depth that anchors the scent with earthy warmth, while sandalwood rounds out the base with its comforting musk.

Application Tips
XS (2018) is best worn in layers. Start with one spray to allow the fresh top notes to shine and then add another layer after an hour for a more balanced experience. The fragrance works well during cooler weather, as its woody base provides warmth without overpowering.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp air of a city park just before sunset, where the scent of freshly cut grass mingles with the distant aroma of woodsmoke from a nearby grill.
