More about Rabanne Pure XS
Pure XS by Rabanne, a 2017 fragrance for men, was created by perfumers Anne Flipo, Caroline Dumur and Bruno Jovanovic to capture the electric tension between shiver and flame. Its top notes open with the cool sparkle of ginger and the green lift of thyme, joined by grapefruit, bergamot and a green accord. In the heart notes, the sweet heat of cinnamon, apple, leather and smooth vanilla add warmth, melting into base notes led by smoky myrrh, with patchouli, cedar and cashmeran. It has a daring, magnetic mood, alive with contrasts between freshness and warmth. Wearing it feels like meeting an intense gaze across a darkened room, where every second stretches with unspoken promise. Winter tops the seasons for Rabanne Pure XS, then fall, and night is the hour, with the evening behind it. A man who wants a sweet, spiced scent for cold evenings out is the match.
