Pure XS in detail
For Rabanne, Pure XS Eau de Toilette is a carnal oriental for men, both fresh and burning. The page gives neither the year, nor the perfumer, nor a list of notes: Volute takes up the materials of its text, without tiers.
Powerful, fresh, incisive ginger gives the first thrill. Aromatic thyme and prickly cinnamon intensify the composition; the house also blends in scents of resin. Deep vanilla, with leathery, liqueur-like inflections, and sensual myrrh then cool overheated skin, according to the house.
Pure XS is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is a magnetic, spicy amber, for those who love intense fragrances. It goes along with an evening or a night out.
Three niche ambers in our catalogue share some of its materials: Manhattan by Roja Parfums brings together ginger, cinnamon and vanilla; Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums pairs thyme and vanilla; 1899, from the same house, combines cinnamon and vanilla.
