Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

...Well I was bought this Paco Rabanne Xs Elle Eau De Toilette Spray as a gift from my Mother, the Christmas before last. I had never tried or even thought of trying this fragrance out before as I have always associated Paco Rabanne fragrances with men really and did not even realise Paco Rabanne made women's fragrances until just over one year ago. Well I actually received this Eau De Toilette Spray in a beautiful gift set with a bottle of body lotion ...
...'''Gift Box:''' I received this Paco Rabanne 50ml Xs Elle Eau De Toilette Spray in a beautiful metallic gold, shiny gift box. On the box itself are lovely printed silver letters of a capital X and S on alternatives sides, right around the box and they really stand out well against the gold background. It really is a very lovely looking set that certainly would be nice to give to any woman as a present. Of course this toilet spray can be bought on ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

Paco Rabanne’s XS pour Homme fragrance has been on the market for a while now, having been launched in 1993, with a female version (unsurprisingly named XS pour Elle) being launched the following year, and they still sell well, even if they are no longer the most sought after scents. Aged 17, I can remember that this was the first aftershave I ever bought, and that was in the days when I could invariably only afford a single bottle, which would have ...
...– the official site of Paco Rabanne perfumes and fragrances describes the fragrance as the following: “Blending the strong and the smooth, XS is a scent which is both sensual and compelling. Wild mint freshens the heat of musk, and highlights the sensuality of Mysorian Sandalwood. To smell or touch it is to fall under its spell. You'll find it's impossible to live without it. Out of excess comes strength.” This is admittedly somewhat hyped-up ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

I first tried this perfume when I got a small gift set for Christmas, and XS was one of the little bottles that was in the box. And I must say, I fell in love with it straight away. I think it's one of those smells that no one can say about 'ewe, I don’t like that' because it a very pleasant, not a 'strong' smell. It is an original, light scent that is not fruity/flower, neither is it a soapy smell. The perfume would suit anyone as the smell ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

This is a gorgeous fragrance in a beautiful bottle. The bottle is a tall oval with a silver top and base and a large button at the back to spray. The middle is frosted glass with on one side X and an S on the other side in clear glass. Very simple yet stylish. The perfume itself is a light yet classy smell best suited to evenings and special occasions. It is a clean, refreshing, subtle fragrance which lasts for hours. It is very distinctive and unusual ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

You might look at this and think they modelled it on a Zippo lighter. Not that you get many Zippos with a glass body and plastic top. The flip top lid is quite a good feature and makes the design a little different from the runs of the mill packaging of many a men’s fragrance. The bottle is also quite nice to the touch. the glass body is smooth with some vertical lines etched into it. One saving grace of the design is that you can’t ...
...it has a spray application. This also means you can use it with one hand. You avoid having to cup the palm off one hand to pour in aftershave and then try apply it to your face. Of course you do also have to be careful not to spray yourself in the eyes with it (because it will sting if you do that). The fragrance itself is quite pleasant although I would suggest using it sparingly, as it can be a little overpowering if you are not careful with it. ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

It's difficult to write an objective opinion on something you like for subjective reasons, but I'll try. Well I'm sitting here covered in the stuff now because I'm trying to reason why I like it so much, so I'll give it my best shot... Firstly, it's a nice smell. Loads of really expensive perfumes smell absolutely disgusting, and this one smells fresh, and i'd say it was slightly fruity if pushed. In general, XS is light and gentle, and smells like ...
...I'd also say that as opposed to some perfumes which are definitely "summer" or "winter" fragrances, this one's suitable all the year round, and suits most occasions. For every day use, XS is lovely and light. I feel relaxed and confident wearing it during the day. It isn't too strong so it's wearable. Also, it's fine for evening "going-out" type situations because it's still distinguished and fragrant to be dressed up I feel. Basically, XS is versatile ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

With so many aftershave lotions on the market,it is refreshing to find one that stands out in a crowd without overpowering it! The majority of aftershaves appear to have one major common factor - they smell so potent... This product may have a subtle fragrance, but it does not disappear as suddenly as some other brands. It retains its freshly-applied smell for a considerable time. With the ability to soothe recently shaved skin without irritation, ...
...At around £25 per 100ml, it is not cheap but it lasts a long time as only a little is required after each shave. Perhaps a little too extravagnt for every day wear, it is ideal for special occasions or a night on the town. The bottle has an easy-to-open flip-top lid, so there is no chance of losing it or leaving it off by mistake. XS is sold by the bottle and also in gift sets with matching shower gel. ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

This is my all time favourite. It's a very light perfume (depending on the amount you use!) that at times has a sweet floral smell without being sickening, other times I have noticed it can smell very sensual and quite exoctic; the scent seems to adapt to your body temperature and as with all perfumes the smell changes on different people. It has a very basic bottle, the bottle itself is square with rounded edges and is made from a white frosted ...
...in a darker white colour and comes with a silver spray top. It lasts the majority of the day but as it's not overpowering you do forget it's on and top it up a bit, you would need to go very mad to make others run a mile!! It can be worn for all occasions and is suitable as a day perfume as much as a night. It can be bought in all shops that sell perfume and aftershave, Boots, Superdrug, Jolly's, House of Fraser, Debenhams, etc. etc. It is very reasonably ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

This fragrance was my first. I've had a bottle of it for about 6 years now just because I bought another bottle of the fragrance after I'd first run out. It may seem a little hefty on scent initially but I had great reviews about it from the men I went out with and therefore I decided it wasn't so bad afterall. Maybe this opinion is skewered because of the ratings I got for the fragrance and due to the fact that it became more or less a signature ...
...not call the packaging anything unique from the current fragrances that are in the market but it is pretty with its "watermarked" like "XS" design on the translucent bottle with its silver cap. I did not feel very romantic with the fragrance on, more of a go-getter but it is more feminine so I would not worry about coming across too strong. it is good for everyday use in the workplace but I will admit that this may be a littletoo strong for coming ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

I was introduced to this perfume by my fiancé. He went out with a friend to buy me a bottle of perfume for a present. Not being into expensive fragrances he didn't know what to get. He made the shop assistant get tester strips for loads of fragrances and whittled it down to 3! With that they then asked every woman that came into the shop which one they preferred and this one won!!! This whole ordeal took them 2 hours and lots of embarrassment - but ...
...There not believe me - I am addicted to this perfume. It’s subtle in its fragrance sweet and musky at the same time. Although I wear it as an evening perfume (save it for special occasions), it is subtle enough to wear in the daytime too. It lasts too - all night/day long which is a bonus of spending that few quid more. It may seem costly to other perfumes - but you need to use less of it so it lasts longer. It comes in a trendy yellow box with silver ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

Xs Paco Rabanne eau de toilette This product has been a favourate of myn, and my partners for some years now. It has a fresh and clean fragrance, which is quite long lasting, and for the price, well who could complain. The scent is a mix of, top notes: fruity, spicy, pink pepper and tamazin. Middle notes: Hellerbore rose, black violet and cocoa blossom. Base notes: Massoia wood, patchouli and black vannila. The bottle is quite a chunky size, clear ...
...design, which has a stopper built in. The lid is maybe not the best design for grip though. Application: you dont need to apply very much of this fragrance, and it lasts very well, therefore the product tends to last a while. It is excellent value for money, and an allround great buy. ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

...fine fragrance, this time by Paco Rabanne. The fragrance is XS Pour Homme. Going with a stronger fragrance here. This fragrance entered the market in 1993 which is quite a while ago in the field. XS Pour Homme comes in a nice bottle which is taller than most eau de toilette or after shave bottles and it has the letters XS above Apres Rasage which is french for after shave. I first came across this fragrance when I tried it from someone I know. ...
...a bit taken back by the strength of this after shave. It is a strong smelling fragrance which is certainly by far the strongest fragrance I have owned. Once you have the bottle out of the XS box you flip the cap and then apply the fragrance. I have the 100ml version but you can also get this fragrance in smaller sizes if you so wish. This 100ml bottle comes in at around £35 which is reaching at the higher end of the market but you will be able to ...

Review of Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle

I got given this spray as a present, and not being my usual brand (I normally used another fragrance) I was a bit unsure about trying it. Once I did, I never did buy that other fragrance again. This is a sweet smelling fragrance, without being over the top. I've had a lot of positive feedback from people who smell it and think it's nice, or wanting to know what perfume I've got on. It comes in a nice clear bottle, with XS printed in big clear letters ...
...a bag (handbag/soapbag, etc) as it's a good slim shape. It also comes in other sizes. I spend a bit more on this fragrance than I did on my last fragrance, I spend nearly £30 on a 30ml bottle. It lasts well though and seems to endure a night out, without me having to keep respraying, so it probably works out better value. There is a men's fragrance too, although I'm unsure what this one smells like. ...

...to last all day unlike other aftershaves which fade quite quickly. I have tried other Paco Rabanne aftershave/eau de toilette but this is the best Ive had. I was in a dilema at Christmas. It was a choice between Hugo Boss or XS, well, I went for the old favourite. ...
