What does Black XS for Her (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with cranberry and tamarind blossom, which give it a fruity sweetness. In the heart, black violet and Christmas rose build the floral core. The base of massoia wood and vanilla pulls it toward a warm, gourmand, spicy and oriental finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer gets only a small share. Night out and evening wear lead the votes, and most voters find it feminine and modern. Rasasi Maa Arwaak for Her and Omerta Faktz de Femme have a close profile.
