Ginger, thyme, grapefruit and bergamot open Pure XS green and citrus-sharp, with real bite behind them. Vanilla, liquor, cinnamon, leather and apple fill the heart, warm and a little dark rather than sweet on its own. The base turns dry and resinous, with myrrh, cedar, cashmeran and patchouli under a thread of sugar. Rabanne launched this one in 2017 for men who like contrast between fresh and warm rather than one simple mood. Voters save it for winter and fall, almost always at night. The longevity vote leans long-lasting rather than settling firmly. Most wearers land on moderate sillage, present without taking over a room. A 3ml decant carries you through a week of night-time wear before deciding on the rest.

The community verdict
A sweet, warm-spicy blend of ginger, liquor and vanilla, Pure XS moves from grapefruit into cinnamon, sugar and cedar. Wear divides between long-lasting and moderate, while most find projection moderate. It suits winter nights, and autumn works too; go lightly if rich sweetness is not your thing.

The house
More from Rabanne
Rabanne started out in France in 1966 as a fashion house with an avant-garde streak, and its fragrances keep that taste for bold, shiny statements. Expect warm, sweet perfumes built on vanilla, amber and patchouli, lit up with bergamot, lavender or pink pepper. 1 Million is the obvious first try, cinnamon heat over bright citrus. Lady Million answers it with honey and white flowers, and 1 Million Parfum swaps the spice for tuberose and amber. Most of the range is made for men, with plenty for women too.
