Black Phantom

“Despite some suggesting this is a long lasting or even eternal scent, it's not. This is a close, intimate scent that only has decent sillage in the first 30 min to an hour. Performance is also not great, lasting 2 to 4 hours on most people's skin.That said, the scent profile is alluring. Rich and boozy, with the classic Kilian DNA. Although the rum comes through with a distinct sweetness, the coffee and dark chocolate give it depth.These darker notes are short lived though and it becomes more sweet and creamy in the dry down.”

“The story behind this fragrance is quite dark so if you're not into that, I'd advise you to find this second-hand.In the opening as a woman, for a man this is amazing! Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the drydown that's in 1-2 hours onward. The drydown smells like steamed water? Disappointing.”

“This fragrance has drastically changed since Estée Lauder purchased the brand. It doesn't last anywhere near as long and the scent profile is totally different. It smells much cheaper now, and the dry down turns into a plastic or cheap vanilla scent.”
