  As a fan of this fragrance line (XS), I can’t go without my little bottle. Apparently, they’ve lowered the sweet notes and raised the spice ones, with cinnamon taking the lead.

  This is the best of the four in my opinion. It combines the power of l’excess, the fruitiness of the original, and the sweetness of the Potion. It’s a ‘party’ scent that gives a cheerful, youthful vibe. It’s quite sweet with some wood, but sweetness dominates: on me, it’s a mix of pineapple, berries, chocolate, and honey. All four fragrances in the Black XS line are different to my nose despite sharing DNA; each has its own nuance. Highly recommended for trail and longevity; you can feel it all day without effort. Greetings from Chile!

  I missed it quite badly when it launched at Ripley mid-year, even though I loved it immediately upon testing. Months passed, and it was gone from the department store; it was limited and hard to find. Luckily, I found a reliable seller online and bought it at a good price. Its notes are fantastic: the honey with praline, almost gourmand, is addictive. I think it’s an exclusive perfume, not for everyone. The key lies in the look: evening winter-fall wear should pair with a sophisticated but not scandalous image, bohemian but not party-ready. Romantically, it leaves no one indifferent; it exudes sensuality and chivalry under the halo of a confident conqueror. Sensational, one of my favorites.

  I first enjoyed it in full winter here in Mexico, where it gets cold. The first thing I noticed was that sweet chocolate gourmand with berries, thanks to the combination of saffron and cinnamon. Incredible trail and very long-lasting all day. At two hours, the leather with praline emerges, which is delicious. It’s clearly for cold seasons; in summer it becomes cloying and heavy. I recommend it 100%, it’s a safe buy. Plus, it holds up well in stuffy places or smoky pubs; one spray is enough. In heat, a single spray is sufficient.

  They say there’s an excellent clone of this in Argentina, the MAC GREGOR – STRONGER… Has anyone tried it yet?

  A delicious fragrance. I tested it several times in perfumeries and loved it. Recently I couldn’t find it, so I bought two Argentine clones: one by Yves d’Orgeval, very similar even down to the bottle, and another, ‘Stronger’ by Mac Gregor, which I found more accomplished. It smells delicious, quite sweet but not cloying. You can detect honey, orange blossom, and cypress. It’s elegant and seductive, perfect for cold weather and evening wear.

  Finally got a bottle after searching so long. I know it was limited and short-lived, but out of all the Black XS variants, my favorites were XS l’excess and XS aphrodisiac (the latter already discontinued). It was a fragrance ahead of its time; there are many similar ones today, but not back then. Sweet without being cloying, masculine, long-lasting, and elegant. I hope Paco Rabanne revives it someday.

  What a shame they discontinued it; it’s the perfect sweet balance I’ve ever tried. Unlike Bad Boy or One Million, where the sweetness hits hard and simply, BXSA makes it harmonious and delicious for everyone. A real injustice that it’s gone while others still sound great.
