The Story
Black XS Summer 2009 is a limited edition that captures the energy of a summer night. It opens with a burst of zesty grapefruit and spicy pink pepper, then settles into a heart of aromatic lavender and crisp apple. The base is a warm blend of amber, patchouli, and tonka bean, making it both fresh and seductive. This is a fun, youthful scent that doesn't take itself too seriously.
