This bottle is soooo beautiful! I have heard so many positive reviews about Pure Xs and now I am considering buying it, your detailed description was incredibly helpful. Great video as always 💖
I smelled Pure Xs today at John Lewis and I loooove it! I'm not sure if it was the popcorn that I smelled at first sniff coz it got me hooked. I also smelled Olympea and brought home both perfume test strips. My husband likes olympea than pure Xs.😅 I'm going to wait a while before I buy. Thanks for the thorough review of this beautiful perfume❤️☺️
Thank you so much !!! Good to know you got the popcorn note in it too ! 💛 Olympea sadly did not work for me… but the new Olympea Solar flanker is soooo beautiful! I want to get a bottle of it so bad!
I totally get what you mean about having to be in the mood for a fragrance. There are some scents that I consider my top 3 that I still can’t wear unless I’m fully in the mood for it!
LayyahLoves right??? Oh my gosh.. and i am so torn, like do i really need to have this fragrance? Sometimes i just feel like i am asking permission.. 😂 “can i please try to wear you today? “ 😂😂😂
Ohh it sounds so good and I think I’d love the popcorn note ,your description of theses fragrances is just so spot on ,you are so right about our noses can pick up a fragrance differently and our body chemistry is different also Love and hugs Frances 💞💞💞💞
Totally agree!I have Pure XS..Olympia is in my wishlist,there is no similarity between them..Both are beautifully projecting in their own way.🧡🤎This is smoother,playful,seductive girl
Omggg awesome video and i totally agree on everything! I have both Pure XS and Olympea and dont find them similar and dont get why people on Fragrantica voted for it -_- In Pure XS i get popcorn and dont get coconut. Olympea, oh, i love this fragrance but as you say - its harsh:/ on me first 2 hour its harsh, then i finally get that delicious salty creamy scent. Fun fact: when i spray Pure XS on skin, i get popcorn mostly at the beginning, first 5 minutes When i spray it on paper, i didnt get any popcorn first. But i smelled paper 24 hours later and it was all popcorny :)
Hahaha so weird how perfumes translate differently on paper than on skin huh ? 🙂 i am still loving my Pure xs !!! So happy i got the big bottle.. my Olympea already found a new home .... 🤎
Awesome review! I have both and the original Olympea was too salty for me. Too salty it makes me salivate 😂 Good for a day in the beach, probably? Pure XS is also salty but much more bearable, and I get the popcorn, more like salted caramel flavored popcorn. It's unique to me and very gorgeous ❤️
I absolutely love the bottle design 😍 this one sounds very interesting! I don’t think I’d be that keen on the popcorn note so it’s good that you only get that for the first hour or so. Good longevity! I’ll have to check it out, great review ❤️
Hi !! Thank you for watching!! Yes, do give it a sniff first.. if it weren't for the popcorn not, it is a beautiful floral.. which, i am happy to have since i don't own a lot of florals... :)
I've seen this one around and the bottle alone makes me want to buy it just to review it and have it on the shelf or give to a family member or something 🙂
I need this! Smelled it in Sephora i think and i fell in love❤️ well...speaking of perfumes, I fall in love everyday, maybe several times a day😅 i agree this one and Olympeea are totally different!!!! The salty vibe doesn't make them similar, or in the same vibe
The Olympea comparison on fragrantica made me stay away from Pure XS for the longest 😩 I’m glad I finally caved so I could see for myself lol great review, love! 😍😍 can’t wait for the declutter video!
i know right??? that is why i researched this one for soo long hahahahaha.. thank you for being one of the references XD I am sooo glad too that I finally got it !!!
aaah i needed this video!! i love how thorough you are. i also wish i got a little more vanilla from olympea...i love it but i definitely need to be in the mood for it as well. now i need to try out pure xs 💸💸 thank you sm for sharing! 😍
yessss i am not alone with olympea.. i love smelling it. everytime i open my cabinet, i reach for it and smell it.. but i am scared to wear it out LOL! i feel like it is wearing me and not the other way around XD
A popcorn note?! How interesting. I haven't heard of any perfumes with that particular note. Have you tried the Bum Bum Cream? It's overwhelming to me, but this sounds similar.
Paola Bianka I haven’t tried the original so I probably should withhold comment until I do that! 😂 💛 I was thinking you were talking about the Intense. To me, *that* one does smell like X-S; I have been told it’s sweeter than the original so that’s why they smell the same to me.
The bottle😍 i also dont want to smell like popcorn but im interested to know how it is in a perfume. I love that you say its milky! I like milky scents which i dont usually find in most perfumes. Great review❤️❤️❤️
it milky in the slightest way.. i guess from the coconut? but overall, this is a beautiful fragrance!! sweet powdery floral... i think you would like it ... < 3
Why does it smell like Labelle with less vetiver to my nose 😩😩 I love it 🥳🥳💃🏻💃🏻 It doesn’t smell like Olympea to me either. Just the vanilla slightly. Yes Olympea is pungent ugh☹️
Well, that sounds great then ! La belle minus the vetiver !!! i am just forever in love with this.... now that it is warmer, i get more of the tropical florals.... and coconut
I know exactly what you mean about Olympea being a bit overpowering at times. But, I find that after you get over the initial spray, the drydown is sooo good! I debated quite a bit about purchasing Pure XS because I've watched other reviewers that mentioned that the two are very similar. But, I think I just might buy it anyway to see for myself, as I'm a bit curious about the popcorn note. In any case, if I don't end up liking, I'll probably end up keeping it anyway because the bottle is so cute. lol
Great review girl! I have been curious about this one. I’m not a popcorn fan but I think I should at least try it next time I’m in store. Thank you for sharing ❤️😀🇨🇦~Kim
I got a sample and loved it!! I only sprayed it once on my arm, because I was also testing 3 other samples. But it seemed like it faded fast. How do you think the projection and longevity is?
Now Im sold, I'm interested with this popcorn note in it cause I don't have any perfume that has popcorn. I need to check this one.. But the bottle is not for me.. Snake is not my thing..🙁🙁
Hi my darling! I got your tag on Instagram and came right over! I’ve seen this one around but now I’m curious to get a sniff! “I don’t want to smell like popcorn” me neither girl! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
i think it is a safe buy.. if you could test it, try to.. :) for me it is a beautiful powdery sweet floral... with a surprise popcorn note for the 1st hour :)
I thought I was the only one who doesn't get the vanilla in Olympea and only ginger, salt, and jasmine..!! I should sell it and get Pure XS instead haha
Hahaha...🤣 i doubted getting this because of the comparison, but i am so glad i considered testing it and I fell in love! Still one of my most faves !!! 💛🧡❤️
Er fárveik núna með slæma magapest með hita o.s.frv og hundurinn minn er mjög veikur lyfinin sem hann fékk síðasta miðvikudag eru ekki að virka og dýralæknirinn sagði ef lyfini virkuðu ekki yrði hann að fara í blóðprufur og röntgenmyndatöku. Já það er "fjör" hjá mér..cant wait for yor declutter 😊😉🥰
Þú ert hrifnari af pure XS en Olympia? Ég finn ekki neina ginger lykt bara mikið salt fyrst svo er það í bakrunni en vanilla woody lykt kemur á minni húð. Ætlar þú að halda Olympea og reyna það meirra??
Líf Stanleys nei.. held ekki sko... það er líka ein ástæða af hverju keypti ég Pure Xs. 😊 maðurinn minn er að vinna núna um helgina. Veit ekki hvenær við getum komið með það til þín, næsta helgi kannski 😁

Analicia MM hi !!! Thank you so much for watching and stopping by !!! 💖💖💖
I totally get what you mean about having to be in the mood for a fragrance. There are some scents that I consider my top 3 that I still can’t wear unless I’m fully in the mood for it!
LayyahLoves right??? Oh my gosh.. and i am so torn, like do i really need to have this fragrance? Sometimes i just feel like i am asking permission.. 😂 “can i please try to wear you today? “ 😂😂😂
I have Paco Rabanne Olympea and XS on its way, ordered them from Macys. I’m looking forward to the salty vanilla!
yayyyy! so exciting !!! 😍🥰
Ooh, milky and popcorn-y with floral 🤔 sounds super interesting, I know most people wouldn’t find it appealing but I love unique notes!
LayyahLoves i was honestly scared when they said it was salty .. or was similar to olympea.. so i had to try it numerous times 😂
Ohh it sounds so good and I think I’d love the popcorn note ,your description of theses fragrances is just so spot on ,you are so right about our noses can pick up a fragrance differently and our body chemistry is different also
Love and hugs

💞💞💞💞
HappinessSparkles !! Yes... we pick up different notes.. and i try to spray scents on paper and on me too., and they are way different 😊
I absolutely adore this fragrance! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Heyyyy!!!!! Thank you for watching !!!!
This was so helpful, thank you - I think I might try it! Might get the body lotion first though…
Hi Sophie ! Thank you! Glad you found this helpful ☺️ i am still loving this one !
Totally agree!I have Pure XS..Olympia is in my wishlist,there is no similarity between them..Both are beautifully projecting in their own way.🧡🤎This is smoother,playful,seductive girl
Yes.. i prefer the Pure Xs... 🧡 i have since given my Olympea to someone who loves it.. definitely agree that it is smoother... love it !

Exactly !!! I love the addition of peach in Pure xs… i think it was also the ambergris that put me off in Olympea EDP ….
I absolutely love the bottle design 😍 this one sounds very interesting! I don’t think I’d be that keen on the popcorn note so it’s good that you only get that for the first hour or so. Good longevity! I’ll have to check it out, great review ❤️

Paola Bianka I’m the same, I don’t have many florals. I’ll definitely try it first ❤️
That bottle alone is enough to get me to want to buy it!!
LayyahLoves hahaha that’s what i did 😂😂😂
I've seen this one around and the bottle alone makes me want to buy it just to review it and have it on the shelf or give to a family member or something 🙂

Alla 1234 right ? So relatable !!! ❤️ so happy i finally got this.. she’s really beautiful !!! 😍
I keep putting off getting the Pure XS. Love the bottle! I am putting it in the cart lol. Great review and comparison! 💕😘
hahahah i was like that with this one too!!! :D and still am like that with some fragrances LOL!
On me they have a similar drydown vibe, lovely review!
Thank you so much !!! ♥️♥️♥️
Awesome review, love!! I adore that bottle so much - so cool!!!💖💖💖
Joss Jane right?? 🥰 Thank you so much for watching Joss! 💖

Omg girl I need to try PR Pure XS! I love that bottle 😍
it is beautiful isn't it? do try to test it out if you could !!!
A popcorn note?! How interesting. I haven't heard of any perfumes with that particular note. Have you tried the Bum Bum Cream? It's overwhelming to me, but this sounds similar.
No i haven’t! But i have heard a lot about that one... 😊 kinda hard to get that one here 😓😓😓
I love the bottle❤️Tsktsktsk I didn’t put this on my perfume wishlist😬As always, great review!
Right? 🤩🤩🤩
OMG!! That bottle is so gorgeous!!!😍 I have to get my nose on this one for sure.
You definitely need to! 😊 it is so nice.. and yes, the bottle is ❤️
I've seen this one in IG too... but haven't had a sniff yet. Popcorn??? Walking around smelling like a real movie or carnival SNACK! Yum Yum Yum🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Pam Jordan _ Pam FAM! Hahahaha .... yeah !!!! Walking like a snack indeed !! 🤣😁😊
The bottle is absolutely gorgeous 💖 I don't believe I've ever heard of this one... 🍿 🍿🍿🍿🙋🏾
Cheraye C Lewis i have to admit i got it for the bottle 😂❤️
You must live under a rock
I wish I have a loooooot more vanilla in Olympea toooo. Oh try the intense and legend 💕❤️❤️
yes.. maybe the intense is a better version!
Paola Bianka even with that a tad more vanilla would have been heaven😍
This scent is beautiful I just purchased today and wanted to search the review about the lasting power
Hey there !!! This one is moderate to longlasting on ne 🥰
@@PaolaBianka thanks for letting me know 💕
They definitely are similar to me (Olympea Intense) I haven’t tried the original Olympea, but I love them both.
Hi!!!
wow i did not read that correctly.. INTENSE...
i have heard though that the intense is sweeter than the original?
Paola Bianka I haven’t tried the original so I probably should withhold comment until I do that! 😂 💛 I was thinking you were talking about the Intense. To me, *that* one does smell like X-S; I have been told it’s sweeter than the original so that’s why they smell the same to me.
@@PaolaBianka I have the legend and for me it's the sweetest one from the range
I kept looking at that bottle it’s so beautiful but I do not know what it smells like that’s why I haven’t bought it
same! I was like that when i first saw it.. i zoomed in for olympea that time LOL ! it is a beautiful bottle indeed ! Thank you for watching !!! :)
The bottle😍 i also dont want to smell like popcorn but im interested to know how it is in a perfume. I love that you say its milky! I like milky scents which i dont usually find in most perfumes. Great review❤️❤️❤️
it milky in the slightest way.. i guess from the coconut? but overall, this is a beautiful fragrance!! sweet powdery floral... i think you would like it ... < 3
I don’t like Paco Rabbane Olympea at all, so I’m glad to hear that they don’t smell alike. I love the looks of the Pure XS bottle with the snake.
I like smelling it.. but not on me, i realized that after wearing it a number of times 😔 but this Pure Xs i loooooove 💛💛💛
You’re insane. Olympea is one of the best fragrances of all time.
Rhea Sana Bastian it is beautiful I agree... i guess it is not for everyone, like any other fragrance isn’t as well... perfumes are subjective ... 😊
This bottle is so gorgeous 😍
HappinessSparkles !! I agree !!! It really is!! 🥰😁
Why does it smell like Labelle with less vetiver to my nose 😩😩 I love it 🥳🥳💃🏻💃🏻 It doesn’t smell like Olympea to me either. Just the vanilla slightly. Yes Olympea is pungent ugh☹️
Well, that sounds great then ! La belle minus the vetiver !!!
i am just forever in love with this.... now that it is warmer, i get more of the tropical florals.... and coconut
Nice review. Thank you.
Thank you for watching !!! ❤️
Beautiful bottle 😍😍😍 I have to try them both
Pink & Fabulous i think you’d like this one... do test it out! ❤️

Great review girl! I have been curious about this one. I’m not a popcorn fan but I think I should at least try it next time I’m in store. Thank you for sharing ❤️😀🇨🇦~Kim
Hi Kim !! Thank you !! :) Yes, do give it a sniff next time you go to the fragrance dept! :)
I got a sample and loved it!! I only sprayed it once on my arm, because I was also testing 3 other samples. But it seemed like it faded fast. How do you think the projection and longevity is?
Maybe I should watch the video before I get all excited and comment 🤦🤣
hahahaha girl, i do that to... i watch and comment away :) hahahaha
The projection is okay for 3/4 hrs n longevity is 7/8 hrs on me
Now Im sold, I'm interested with this popcorn note in it cause I don't have any perfume that has popcorn. I need to check this one.. But the bottle is not for me.. Snake is not my thing..🙁🙁
oh my .... :( the 30ml i think does not have the snake on it :)
Hi my darling! I got your tag on Instagram and came right over! I’ve seen this one around but now I’m curious to get a sniff! “I don’t want to smell like popcorn” me neither girl! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
HI !!!!!!! thank you sooo much for watching !! means a lot to me!!!!!
I don’t see original Olympea as sweet at allllll
right??? i wish i got more of the vanilla that they always say...
I think I need this one 🙌🏻😊
i think it is a safe buy.. if you could test it, try to.. :) for me it is a beautiful powdery sweet floral... with a surprise popcorn note for the 1st hour :)
I have both and they smell completely different to me and on me, I don't even pick up similarities.
my exact same thoughts .. and I prefer Pure XS... waaaaay more...
Me n ginger are not friend 😭
oh no! 😭
The only reason why I never bought this fragrance is the snake 😫 total turn off for me but now u make me want it sooooo bad
Georgette’s Fragrance World oh myyyy 😓😱😓 maybe a 30 ml one? I think that doesn’t have the snake... not so sure though 😁
Paola Bianka lol I’ll check 💫
New subscriber here 😍 Try the 30ml, no 🐍 . In real, the full bottle is so gorgeous and looked expensive

Very Nice Stay Connected Dear Friend 💞
Thank you, I will
I just love this bottle. I think its very sexy. The fragrance is gorgeous too.💗💙💜♥️
Yeyyy! you love the bottle too!!!
Pure XS is lovely. Olympia.....meh 🤭🤔
agree....
You are incorrect
I don't think pure xs and olympea smell alike AT ALL!!!
i know! that is why i kept putting it aside because of that comparison.... O.o Glad I gave in :)
I love this fragrance. I don't like the bottle.
I understand 😂 many are put off by the snake 😬
Tbh i dont really like Pure XS the smell is very ambiguous and nauseating...
Understandable.. everyone has different preferences ☺️
