Praline and black amber build a warm, sweet core, with lemon lifting the top and patchouli darkening the base. It's cozy and edible without being cloying. A smooth, seductive amber gourmand.

Warmthwarm, close0.76

XS Black (Black XS) reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 79th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.44

XS Black (Black XS) sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 30th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.17

XS Black (Black XS) is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureseamless0.30

XS Black (Black XS) arrives seamless, as a single impression rather than parts. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.58

XS Black (Black XS) carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 77th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
