A long shot
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Noire Extra scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Black XS.
Perfume Parlour 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
It is $89 per 100ml.
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 Perfume Parlour 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. Perfume Parlour 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.
