I made the mistake of buying this wthout sampling it first. Bad move.

XS is woody and green with some combination of generic herbs. XS smells like an old dude who would try to sell you a vacuum cleaner while you were walking down the street.

I don't know why anyone would prefer Paco Rabanne's XS when there are so many other great colognes out there.

I bought a sample of this cause this site stated that it has jasmine and rose in it's notes. After I received the sample and tested on my skin,I couldn't detect those notes or at least the floral ones. So I checked it out further with Fragrantica.com and they state that this fragrance is in the Woody Floral Musk group,and as far as accords go, there's no floral accords to it. What that means is no detection of any flowers when you smell it. Though it does have only one flower note and that is:"Bourbon Geranium". The scent of this frag. is aromatic being that it has citrus,wood and evergreen notes in it. It's not a sweet frag.at all. This almost reminds me of "Sentiment" by Escada,but this one is maybe a little stronger.? It was nice and interesting to try the sample of this out,but not on my list to buy a full bottle in the future.
