The review

Adam EDP Perfume scores 5.7 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Black XS.

Kunooz sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black XS's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $25 per 100ml it costs 58% less than Black XS — the 2nd cheapest of 10 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Kunooz publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Paco Rabanne Black XS is lemon, kalamansi and tagete at first, cinnamon, sage and cardamom at its heart and patchouli, Tonka Bean and amber at the end. Kunooz set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • lemon
  • kalamansi
  • tagete

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • sage
  • cardamom

Base

  • patchouli
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Sweet praline and cinnamon over patchouli, dark, sugary and thoroughly nineties-rock.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
