Rabanne launched Black XS for Her in 2007, crafted by Emilie Coppermann and Mark Buxton. The opening is fresh and vibrant, with cranberry and pink pepper giving way to tamarind, which adds a sharp, fruity edge. As the scent settles, cocoa and rose introduce a deeper, more complex warmth, with black violet adding a subtle, dark twist. The base is rich and powdery, with vanilla and patchouli providing a soft, earthy foundation, while massoia wood lends a woody depth. The overall character is warm and sweet, with a hint of spice, making it suitable for evening wear in a cozy setting, such as a candlelit dinner or a quiet evening at home.
