Black XS
Olivier Cresp put lemon at the front of Paco Rabanne Black XS and built everything else to hold it there.

How it moves
You meet lemon, kalamansi and tagete at the door. By the half hour it has become cinnamon, sage, cardamom and praline. The base is patchouli, Tonka Bean, amber and cedar. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
Who made it
Olivier Cresp composed it in 2005, for Paco Rabanne in France. A rock-and-roll masculine built on praline, tagete and cinnamon, remembered for its distinctive sweet-woody drydown.
