Pure XS: Bold Challenge from Paco Rabanne

Released in 2017, Paco Rabanne Pure XS Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that embodies unrestrained freedom and the brand's revolutionary spirit.

As part of the XS collection, this eau de toilette offers a fresh and energetic start, perfect for modern men seeking courage in every spray.

Positioning and Character of the Fragrance

Classified as a men's fragrance, Pure XS belongs to the Spicy and Oriental families, giving it a warm and mysterious character.

With a medium trail, it leaves a delicate yet memorable trace, ideal for daily use or evening outings.

Its composition balances freshness and depth, making it a versatile choice for different seasons.

How to Apply Pure XS for Maximum Effect

For optimal scent development, it is recommended to apply pointwise on the skin, such as on the wrists or neck, so that body heat gently activates the notes.

On clothing, it is better to use the walk into the cloud technique by spraying the fragrance in the air and walking through it, which ensures even and long-lasting coverage without overdoing it.

Creators Behind the Fragrance: Talented Perfumers

The creation of Pure XS involved a team of outstanding perfumers: Anne Flipo, Bruno Jovanovic, and Caroline Dumur.

Their collaborative work brought a unique blend of freshness, spiciness, and sweetness to the fragrance, reflecting Paco Rabanne's innovative approach to perfumery.

Similar Fragrances to Expand Your Collection

If you liked Pure XS, you might appreciate other bold men's fragrances such as Versace Eros, Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani Stronger With You, and Carolina Herrera Bad Boy.

Each offers its own take on modern masculinity and can be a great addition to your perfume shelf.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Pure XS begins with refreshing top notes: bergamot, grapefruit, and ginger provide an energetic start, complemented by green accord and thyme for natural freshness.

In the heart, fruity and spicy accents unfold: apple and vanilla create a sweetish base, while cinnamon and leather accord add spiciness and audacity.

The base anchors the composition with warm and woody notes: cashmeran, cedar, and woody accord ensure longevity, supplemented by myrrh, patchouli, and sugar for a sweet-balsamic finish.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance really grabs attention with its green note, which is noticeable from the very first seconds. It's clearly there. The coolness of herbaceous thyme is also detectable. The sweetness here is quite moderate. The scent is interesting, worth a closer look. I temporarily put aside all my usual fragrances and used only this one for a whole week, and during that time I learned a lot new about it. Overall, it's not bad. The bottle looks massive and impressive. Clearly, it's meant for young people, not for the so-called "connoisseurs"
4/5

The Pure version also worked for me, just like Black, they have something in common. At first, you feel the freshness, but then sweetness starts popping out everywhere. Cinnamon, resins, caramel - all of it envelops you completely. And those patchouli notes, so rich! I adore gourmand men's fragrances - they're so captivating and enchanting 😍
3/5

Too cloying a smell, just awful. Some might appreciate it, of course, but for me, it's too much, it's suffocating.
2/5
2
The scent, as always, is sweet, but it reminds me more of an air freshener than anything special. The bottle, by the way, is very uncomfortable to hold. I didn't find anything new or interesting in this perfume.
5/5
5
Scents aren't really my strong suit, but this one surprised me. Why is everyone so negative about it? It's so vintage! It really stands out from the rest. The bottle is interesting too, like something from the past. Sweet, rich, I liked it. If it weren't for my friend's preferences, I'd definitely buy it for him, but he only wears Hermes
5/5
5
I bought this fragrance at L'Etoile, and honestly, these slightly sweet notes always attract me. I really liked it, just like my favorite 1 Million from the same brand. I feel over the moon with happiness, but at the same time there's a certain sadness, because such moments won't be repeated 🌧️
5/5
5
I bought this perfume at L'Etoile, and honestly, I expected more. It's a sweetish scent, of course, but it's kind of intrusive and quickly gets tiresome. I can't say it became my favorite, like 1 Million from the same brand. Disappointed 😒
5/5
5
At the beginning of the fragrance, bright notes of bergamot are felt, mixing with bitter grapefruit and spicy ginger. These accords sound very loud and long, not allowing the heart notes to unfold. After 15-20 minutes, apple notes begin to appear, like freshly cut, with a light hint of cinnamon and sweet vanilla liqueur. Woody accents are also audible from the very beginning and don't disappear until the end. In the very finale, myrrh and sugar appear, but the fragrance on clothes lasts too long, even starting to tire you out. On the skin, everything happens faster; the delicate notes of myrrh, patchouli, and sugar retain their softness for a long time 😌
4/5
4
The fragrance is indeed sweetish. Citrus notes, greens, cinnamon, and ginger are clearly discernible. Woody accents and leather create an interesting background. Alcoholic nuances add a special zest!! The combination turns out to be quite unusual and beautiful. Although I didn't catch patchouli, myrrh, and apple, perhaps they are hiding somewhere, and if you listen closely, you might find them. However, the fragrance is very specific - it's captivating and charismatic, but not suitable for everyone. My husband, for example, wasn't very fond of it
5/5
5
The fragrance is truly unique! It's hard to describe precisely - it's like a precious gem sparkling with many shades. The longevity is impressive!! I recommend trying it! It feels as if thousands of tiny bubbles are scattering in the air, creating an amazing sensation. I can't say if I like it or not, but it definitely makes you think
5/5
5
This fragrance, my friends, isn't perfect or balanced, because its creators had a different goal. It doesn't greet you with open arms like some perfumery orchestra. The idea here is for this scent to envelop its victim. The conditions it creates are pleasant only for its owner. This perfume is for those who want everyone around them to panic and ask, "What is that? Who is this person?" And while everyone is thinking, you're already in control of the situation. It's intriguing, stunning, and conquering. Light fragrances can't compare to it, it raises a lot of questions, people start turning your way. This isn't just a fragrance, it's a real bomb, I like it
5/5
5
It was sitting on the shelf, and I had already cooled my interest in it a bit. But today I gave it a couple of sprays and was simply blown away with delight! It's such a soft and airy sweetness, no hint of parquet varnish, as it sometimes seemed. An image of a plump cherub sprinkling velvety vanilla from a cloud popped into my head. This scent is simply divine, I've fallen in love again
3/5
3
The 1 Million perfume, of course, took all the glory, and Pure XS now feels like it's in its shadow. It's still not bad, but honestly, it no longer evokes any strong emotions. The advertising campaign was simply gorgeous, you can't deny that. But now, unfortunately, its scent feels outdated.
2/5
2
Ginger with cinnamon, in excess, a little sugar and hints of leather. The sweetness is just off the charts, and the brightness of the scent is striking. This perfume is definitely for those who want to stand out at a noisy party, and the alcoholic sillage will be felt even before the fun begins 🍹
5/5
5
From the first breath, I knew this was my true passion. The fragrance is simply magnificent, but completely not for everyday life. When I wore it to work, I felt uncomfortable, like I wasn't in my place… Constantly interacting with people, in this perfume I felt as if I was on a pedestal, stronger and smarter, but at the same time, it caused sadness within me 😔
