Rabanne Pure XS for Her is a dense white floral gourmand, and coconut appears at both ends of it, which tells you where the weight sits. Coconut opens it with mandarin orange, pink pepper, lily of the valley and water jasmine. The coconut is creamy rather than suntan-oil sweet, and the pink pepper keeps the start from being soft. The heart is crowded: jasmine, orange blossom, ylang ylang, vanilla and tolu balsam together. Tolu balsam is the unusual one, a South American balsam that is sweet, gently spiced and faintly smoky, and it stops the white florals from reading as simply pretty. Coconut returns in the base with vanilla, sugar, sandalwood and musk. This is the part that lasts, and it is unapologetically sweet, warm and creamy. How Pure XS for Her wears It lasts a long time and projects strongly, so apply it lightly. Autumn and winter suit it, and it is a fragrance for evenings more than for an office. Rabanne Pure XS for Her Eau de Parfum, created by Quentin Bisch in 2018 for Rabanne, the Paris house making fragrance since 1968.
