Paco Rabanne Pure XS Eau de Toilette 100ml is an aromatic spicy fragrance for men, launched in 2017 as the modern, more sensual successor to the original 1990s XS line. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo, Caroline Dumur and Bruno Jovanovic, it opens with a fresh ginger and grapefruit lift over thyme and bergamot, develops a warm, slightly boozy heart of vanilla, liquor, cinnamon and leather, and dries down on a smoky myrrh, cedar and cashmeran base — confident and unmistakably night-time.
About Paco Rabanne
Paco Rabanne is a Spanish-born French fashion house founded in Paris in 1966 by designer Paco Rabanne, known for his metal-disc dresses and futurist take on couture. The fragrance line, now under Puig, has produced some of the most recognisable masculines of the last two decades, including 1 Million, Invictus and the XS family. Pure XS occupies the brand's modern oriental-spicy pillar, designed to be sensual rather than overtly fresh.

Who it's for
Pure XS suits men who want a confident, evening-leaning signature with strong projection — date nights, dinners and going out are its natural setting. The vanilla-myrrh-leather drydown gives it warmth and depth, while the aromatic top notes keep it from feeling sickly sweet. Best from autumn through to early spring, particularly in cooler temperatures where the spices and resins develop most fully.
How to use
- Spray onto pulse points — the base of the neck, behind the ears and on the wrists — from around 15 cm away.
- Add one spray on the chest under a shirt for a longer trail through the day.
- For evening, mist a single spray onto a jacket lapel rather than rubbing into the skin.
