The Scoop
Riffs Café Noir captures the dark, aromatic essence of Black XS with its prominent coffee, spice, and woody base notes at a fraction of the price. While the opening lacks some of the original's oud complexity, the midtempo development of vanilla and amber provides good longevity and skin scent projection for an affordable alternative.
Key Differences
The clone emphasizes the coffee and cinnamon notes more heavily than the original, which features a stronger oud-leather signature. Riffs' version has a slightly sweeter, more accessible profile that may appeal to those finding Black XS too intense or animalic.

What wearers say
“This is a great scent. I don't know what it smells like exactly but something in between aventus and sauvage. Very smooth and light. Not something you get tired of. Longevity is meh. Might need maceration.”
