I wore this one since the beginning , 1994 , in 2018 they changed the formula ,it is a disgrace for Paco Rabanne. Recently I bought two bottles 100 ml each , found it in perfume shop in Bulgaria, last two bottles ,old formula 40e a bottle, the other creation of Paco is Phantom, great thing
This is one of my signature scents. I got a sample of Himalaya years ago and wanted something similar so I gave Xs a try and I loved it from the first spray. It has a classic, masculine smell. Love watching your reviews, that’s a very impressive collection you have in the background.
@@desertknights5003 maybe you can get it from markets where it is still available on the internet. I could do so but I rather buy the new version knowing that it'll be original than buy some fake sh*t. Anyhow...if the new version will not be the same I'll.also order the old one because I really liked that one (it was one of my friends'... he bought it in germany...)
I put this xs in the morning 8h.. In the evening 19h someone compliments me e ask which parfum was that and he can smell it everywhere I walked.. I say really?? I can t smell it myself.. This one give me more crazy compliments than Creed or LA nuit de l homme.. It is really good but the problem is you can't smell it yourself
You're my man....this smells like a premium soap but somehow it doesn't smell cheap. I think it is not dated at all... it's just different. This is oneof the all timers
I own a vintage bottle and it's a beast mode masterpiece . It's also complex, with that sweet, warming dry down. If you know that dry down, you know why black XS is a flanker to this Masterpiece, absolutely beautiful in winter too!
The new one is very boring. It misses that sort of metallic, minty, citric opening. It may be a 90s fragrance but that's the point. That's why I liked it.
why you should reviewing fragrances that doesn"t exist anymore,whats the point.i can"t find this anywhere .only the new bottle i see in the stores. i am looking for old version ,becouse the new one i hear doesnt last .you could make a review of the new juice
I started using that fragrance since the late 90's. Now I can't find it anywhere in South Africa anymore. I was told it was discontinued. I still angry at Paco Rabanne for discontinuing this fragrance. Thank you for this review...
Hello Joy Amin, I really enjoy your reviews. Could you please recommend me a middle Eastern male perfume with the longest projection? I care more about the length of projection than longevity. You mentioned before in one of your review that Rasasi Afshan is a beast. Is it better than Armaf Craze and Lattafa najdia? Thank you again for your help.
I had a 30ml bottle of the old XS and of the Paco Rabanne fragrances I have smelled, this is my favourite by far. I have been looking for a new bottle. Sounds good if the new formulation isn't that different.
I’ve never tried black xs, it’s supposed to have a sweet smell. The original Paco Rabanne XS has more of a classic or vintage type smell. It’s very crisp and clean, gives off sort of a barbershop vibe in some ways.
First time I smelled this fragrance maybe 4 years ago it was ok I wasn’t like ew this smells like grandpas it smelled a little mature but nice I won’t mind it tbh
Mehhh 🤷♂️ its sorta, kinda, maybe, lil bit, so so like Himalaya 🤔 Himalaya is faaaar! Better and definitely suggest skipping this and going straight for Himalaya.
if you can afford it definitely should get it....i felt it was not worth my 300 usd...this 35 usd cologne keeps me happy.someday may be if i can afford himalaya ill get it,Creed is great
@@JoyAmin666 thats fine if you feel that way I used to feel that way but they something switched in me and I realized instead of buying a dozen cheaper scents I can buy a couple great ones and be waaay happier and not have all the bottles of stuff ill never wear just for the sake of getting more bottles, now if its some discontinued thing you've always wanted thats different also.
WOW!!! That's quite the collection, Lol. If I had the money, I'm sure I'd have a similar table. It's easy to get carried away. So many out there. Have you reviewed Chanel Platinum?
I, as well, started out with Black XS, which I love. Such a thick, sweet, fruity fragrance. I later blind-bought the regular XS, and it's one of the most repulsive things I've ever smelled. So horrible, I would never wear it. It's probably the single worst fragrance I've ever smelled or owned, although CK Encounter is close.
The origianl XS is the best of all XS. I wish they stop making variations and make the original again.
I wore Creed Himalaya today and love the scent profile, so I ordered XS.
Nice bottle, the smell.. Kinda remind me of my uncle going for work scent in the 90s. Fresh, slightly metallic and good smell.. Love it

Tell me, are they releasing XS By Paco Rabanne now? Can I buy it?
Joy can you please do a review on the 2018 formulation. There's only one review on RUclips and it's not in English
Reformulation of this one???
@@desertknights5003 Well the 2018 release of XS

Ramadan kareem Mr joy ✋
All love from saudi arabia
believe it or not, i wore this frags since 1997 when i was in college...i love it!!!
Dang I was just checking this out just barely! 😁😄
The dry down is similar to encior noir
Best I own 4 bottles one of my favorite hands down dumb reach tons of compliments
This is not for mature! And it doesn't smell like anybody's dad!
You are saying that probably because you don know what to say, that's it.
Lol what a comment
Joy I bought this today and the juice colour is very light blue/grey.....do you think that’s the juice they use in the new bottle design?
I put this xs in the morning 8h.. In the evening 19h someone compliments me e ask which parfum was that and he can smell it everywhere I walked.. I say really?? I can t smell it myself..

How many sprays?
I got the 2018 rerelease it's no longer "Zippo" style cover. 😢
People were complaining about having trouble with the sprayer & the"Zippo" style cover.

Nice review bro .. salutes from Saudi Arabia
Keep doing more shots on new location bro 💪😎
I have a vintage 1oz bottle

Acabei de comprar um frasco de 100ml contendo 85ml ainda…vendedor tem ele desde 2005. Brasil 🇧🇷 SANTOS ⚪️⚫️🐳💥
Just got my bottle of XS. Got Pure XS too.
I've appreciated XS for years, finally got around to buying it after seeing your review.

very close but it not last . Only 3 hour
Yes
Subscribed.
One of my favorite fragrances. Great video
this is an absolute masterpiece, top 3 release of the 90s. its so good creed copied it and made himalaya which is worse
😍😍
Did you smell Al Haramain- Oud Cambodi Intense? Would be nice a review from you, it`s a well blended animalic leather scent.
how similar is this to black xs? I dont really care for the black xs it gives me a headache but I do love frags that are more vintage smelling
I’ve never tried black xs, it’s supposed to have a sweet smell. The original Paco Rabanne XS has more of a classic or vintage type smell. It’s very crisp and clean, gives off sort of a barbershop vibe in some ways.
Completely different this is like Burberry Men and Platinum Egoiste mixed

hahahahaha alright brother. i said it already, not everyone is gonna like this one.....black xs is so much easier to love
@@JoyAmin666 Yes. Matter of fact, I need a new bottle of Black XS soon. Keep up the good work buddy.
@@JoyAmin666 Do you any clones of Creed Himalaya?
tastes are quite funny really, i feel the exact opposite. sweet fruity frags make me vomit
@@albertkelly7129 Do you hate Ultra Male? It's my all time favorite. So sweet.
