Rabanne - Pure XS Eau de Parfum

Scent Profile & Character

Pure XS EDP is a daring and provocative fragrance that blends sweet gourmand elements with spicy herbs and smoky woods. It opens with a fresh burst of ginger, thyme, bergamot, grapefruit, and green accords, offering a sharp, energetic top. The heart deepens into warm vanilla, cinnamon, liquor, apple, and hints of leather, giving it creamy, spicy sweetness with a touch of rugged depth. The base is rich and sensual with myrrh, sugar, cedar, patchouli, woody notes, and cashmeran — a warm, lasting trail.
