I couldn't take it anymore!!!!

Just placed my second day air order for Paco Rabanne Black XS. I had inquired with all of you a few weeks ago about this one and between your reviews and other independent ones, I couldn't take it anymore!

All the talk about praline, black cardamon, black amber, patchouli and the strawberry notes just left me hankering to get my mitts on a bottle of this stuff!

I need another fragrance like a hole in the head (story of our lives on here, huh?), but it's been a LONG time since I've done any sort of expedited shipping on my fragrances -- and I hope this one is worth it! Reminds me of the "good old days," when I'd order several new fragrances each month and have them overnighted. The money I wasted on "XSive" shipping costs, and for the most part, buying these fragrances without sampling first.

For today anyway, I'm living in an "XS" world, and hope when the fragrance arrives on Monday, it lives up to my expectations and doesn't turn out be a "Black" Monday.

Sorry I don't remember seeing you put up something about this. Think the Black evokes the right feel for the scent, it is dark, kinda deep, spicy and sexy, think you will like it. I did!
Curious where you ordered it from (Why? as I already have it, but I might not be aware of the vendor and who knows maybe they have something I might be looking for!)

Yes, a few weeks ago. In fact, I had forgot about a review another member made on here about it prior to my post.

OH GOOD! I'm so glad to hear you say this! Deep/spicy/sexy! Excellent!!! I'm *REALLY* looking forward to this!

I ordered it from Scentiments.com. What's funny about it, is I went there looking under "XS," and "Paco Rabanne." It didn't show in either! I did a search, and there it was... in the "B" section... because it's "Black XS." I thought it was "XS Black." Kind of a strange database system because if someone doesn't know the EXACT name, they could be missing out on sales. And their "SEARCH" function isn't very navigable either. It's there, but it's not "clearly" an option like most search fields. It's just a button on their menu bar, which is rather silly from a design/functionality standpoint.

Nonetheless, it's on the way from Florida to Michigan! I haven't been this anxious to try a fragrance I think since Chic came out.

I've had good luck with Puig frgrances though! I really have. Even before I knew of my fragrance addiction, I was VERY fond of Herrera for Men and Quorum... Puig, Puig, PUIG!!!!

Let's hope BlackXS can be added to the list!

I bought it on a whim and ended up not liking it after all.

I must say I think the dude in the ad is cute though, LOL! Sort of sold me on buying it.

I KNOW! Dumb excuse to buy a scent here! LOL

Mando:-P

Yes, Will Chalker is a nice looking guy. I typically don't like the younger set models, but he has a more "mature" quality about him or something.

He's also QUITE popular right now in the industry as a whole.
