Black XS by Paco Rabanne

opens up with Mint, Corainder and bergmot. The middle notes include, Juniper berry and wild flowers, finishing off with sandalwood,musk and cedarwood.

this description i found seems much closer to my nose than what i can read above, i can definetely sense cedar and juniper there. this is why i like this cologne. the great contrast between its sweet notes and its resinous notes.

great one. metrosexual i would say, with the inherent contradictions: strong but still efeminated, sweet but masculine. excesivelly sweet in the bottle or on the teststrip but much more sophisticated when applied on skin - . to read (smell)this one as candy, chewing gum or icecream is like saying umberto eco's novels are detective stories. true in a way, so false in all the others. great caramel/praline touch, like mugler's angel
