WoodyWhat does Black XS L'Excès for Her smell like?
Most voters pick autumn and winter, with nights out and evenings leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters mostly find it feminine, and some call it modern.
It opens with neroli and black pepper, while jasmine and rose in the heart give it a floral frame. In the base, cashmere wood and vanilla sweeten it into a powdery, gourmand warmth, with fresh and fruity touches staying in the background. Its profile is close to Gucci Rush and Jil Sander Everose.
