Pure XS For Her
Pure XS For Her by Paco Rabanne is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2018 in the designer price tier. It opens with ylang-ylang, peach and orange blossom, moves into ambrette seed and coconut and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood, amberwood and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
