A long shot
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Perfect Extra scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Pure XS.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pure 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 Pure XS is ginger, thyme and bergamot at first, cinnamon, vanilla and myrrh at its heart and vanilla, amber and woody notes at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- ginger
- thyme
- bergamot
Heart
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- myrrh
Base
- vanilla
- amber
- woody notes
Ginger and cinnamon over syrupy vanilla myrrh, sweet and deliberately provocative.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
