I don't know what everyone else is spaying but this is strong on me. 4 spritzes in the morning, and still can smell it when I get back home from work. Ok, it's not a beast, but it performs decently 🤷 for me it's nice for days when I am not sure if I wanna go fruity or vanila. It's kinda sweet and sour, like chocolate and orange cake if that makes sense 😅
Received this as a gift instead of the original black xs which is one of my all-time favourite fragrances. So I'm happy to give this a go due to my love of the original. First off I adore the box! a super classy velvet feel red box is perfect for this fragrance. This EDP isn't as strong nor as deep as the original which I wasn't a fan of as I love deep and strong scents, this still had decent sillage though. This perfume has far less Cacao and is less of a warm spicy vanilla scent, but is still quite similar to the original, just like a watered down version - due to the more fruity scent of this one. If you find the original too strong or masculine I'd urge you to try this. I personally prefer the original which I continue to purchase.
I was gifted a large bottle of this recently due to my love of the original EDT version. Sadly, it is not as good. Still a nice fragrance in its own right, but less sweet and fresher/lighter than the EDT, it seems more 'modernized' than the original... something many people will probably prefer. I, however, am not one of them. It feels as though this incarnation of Black XS has lost some of that hypnotic, undeniably sexy feel that made the original so delicious. It also doesn't seem to last as long on me, which is odd. This will still be used up, there's nothing 'wrong' with the EDP in its own right... but the EDT will always be what I reach for when I'm going out to a concert, on a date or somewhere special. If you found the EDT too heavy but liked the overall feel, try this instead.
I was so excited to try this fragrance. Based on the notes, I thought it would smell incredible. Well, I am disappointed :( it's not that I don't like it- it's nice. But I had imagined it as something dark and mysterious which it isn't. It's actually fruity with some kind of a soapy note, not what I expected.
To me, this fragrance is seductive without being overpowering. It's spicy and fruity without being too sweet, and has a predominantly woody dry down on my skin. A great choice for date night! :)
