The opening of Black Xs L’Exces is actually quite similar to the original. It has the familiar lemon note, but in the original it smells like strawberry candy, and L’Exces smells more like pineapple. Yes, the ingredient is lemon, but how it blends with the other notes produces a different aroma.
What I noticed most, is that it doesn’t have the same sharpness or overwhelming patchouli note that original has. This is great! The note is still present, it is just that it has been subdued and doesn’t have a praline sweetness to blend with anymore.
So, in a real sense, L’Exces isn’t intense or excessive. It is a cleaner version of the original. What you get is the citrus/pineapple aroma, sitting on top of a woody/lavender base that is soaked in amber.
It is bright, fruity sweet, and with an outdoorsy heart lurking in the background. It’s pretty linear, but as it dries down, it gets less citric and the other notes take a bigger stage. Mainly, the more outdoorsy or woody notes.
