SOTD/Review: Paco Rabanne Pure XS Night

🔥

Finally got my hands on this discontinued scent which I had been after for a long time as I absolutely love PR Pure XS, was it worth the wait and just as good??

From the first spray, ginger and ginseng hit me like spicy energy, buzzing through the air with life. Soon sweetness creeps in - vanilla, cacao, and cinnamon melt together into something rich, creamy, almost like dessert in a glass. Deep down, myrrh and caramel carry the scent into its dry-down, giving it a warm, resinous glow that lingers. The projection is impactful for the first 1-2 hours, boldly noticeable in a small radius, before mellowing into a more intimate, skin-hugging warmth. Longevity impresses - I get 8-10 hours on my skin, and well past that on clothes. Pure XS Night isn’t subtle; it’s indulgent, sexy, and perfect for nights out or fall/winter time when you want something pronounced and memorable. I did get the original Pure XS DNA but it quickly drifts off to do its own thing but faintly peeps out from the background from time to time. Overall rating: 8.1/10. I do prefer its predecessor being honest but this is still a great scent!
