I bought XX because of the irresistible blue eyes of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, who stepped into the boxing ring with a female model in the commercial for this fragrance.
This rather dance-like fight was probably meant to symbolize the battle of the sexes. It certainly caught my attention.
However, XX is in no way aggressive, but very soft and feminine.
Lychee and mandarin provide a very fruity, fresh entrance, and jasmine and rose are mildly sweet. A charming blend.
With amber, musk, and sandalwood, a touch of sex appeal is added.
But very subtle.
This fragrance is really more about a promotional dance than a fight.
Armed like this, I would have loved to step into the ring with blue-eyed Johnny.
