Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Dare X Black lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black XS.

Paris Corner 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.

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

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Paris Corner 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

What it is chasing: lemon, kalamansi and tagete up top, cinnamon, sage and cardamom in the middle, patchouli, Tonka Bean and amber underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Black XS.

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.
