Described as a vibrant woody oriental fragrance, Black XS encapsulates raw energy, bold allure, and an unapologetic rock 'n' roll spirit. Its olfactory profile is built around a core of spiced praline intertwined with patchouli, brightened by zesty accents of lemon and kalamanzi. The blend is further enriched with aromatic elements like sage and tagetes, complemented by a foundation of woods and spices.
