  I walked past the perfumerie this morning and decided to smell it. The opening was very citrusy and summery, with orange and lemon, though slightly bitter. Over time, apple and pineapple appeared, giving it a juicy and cloying touch. After five hours, the woody notes and oak dominate, which was an excess; you have to try hard to feel the sweetness of the vanilla and coumarin. A point against: it would have been great if it felt sweeter from the vanilla and not so dry from the wood. The mistake was buying it, and now I’ll have to return it.

  This perfume lasts a long time on the skin and feels similar to Black XS L’Excess, just a bit more intense. I kept the other one since this is more youthful and tropical.

  Is this the Summer version? It has its charm, it’s wearable and fresh. The base notes are woody. What I highlight most is the opening: an explosion of fruity and citrus notes, quite delicious. Then it becomes too generic for me. I’d prefer the original version a thousand times over.

  It’s a refined version of XS Black, softer, fruitier, and perhaps less sweet as it dries down. It has its DNA, but it’s subtle; it’s not as extremely masculine or nocturnal, certainly more refined. You can detect fruit, flowers, and that slightly herbal touch of sage. The heart is the clearest part: fruit and cinnamon. The dry down brings oakmoss and warm spices. It’s interesting and minimalist, and I don’t think anyone will remember it much as time passes (it’s a limited edition). I was gifted it and I enjoy it.

  In short, it starts like Black XS but fresher, removing that original’s heavy sweetness. After an hour, it becomes a fresher version of L’Excess, even more youthful (though L’Excess is already youthful). It’s the right formula for intermediate days, not extreme heat, because it retains Black’s characteristic heaviness.

  Nothing to do with L’Excess. This one is much flatter and simpler, lacking that sparkling fruity opening. It only leaves a trail in the dry-down, just like the other Black XS fragrances. I find it a very poor scent: I can’t detect any fruit in the notes, nor any development or projection. The smell is almost feminine, very powdery and dusty, it doesn’t evolve and lasts just enough.

  It suits me well; it’s the most detached scent in the entire Black XS line. It feels like spring or summer, though it’s not light; there’s a certain heaviness to its base. It’s a linear fragrance with curious, personal touches, like that potent semi-sweet marine accord I detect from start to finish.

  It suits me well; it’s the most detached of the Black XS line, more of a spring or summer version, yet not light; it has a certain heaviness in its structure. It’s a linear scent with very personal and curious traits, like that potent semi-sweet marine accord I notice from start to finish.
