Black Phantom, from By Kilian, is a dark, boozy sweet scent: bitter and sugary in one breath. Rum opens it straight away, warm and a little sticky. Coffee and dark chocolate follow, with almond and heliotrope giving the heart a soft, marzipan-like edge. The base piles on caramel, sugar cane, vanilla and tonka, but sandalwood and vetiver keep it from turning into pudding. It came out in 2017 and is worn by men and women alike, especially those who like their sweetness with a shadow. Voters keep it for winter nights, and it can also work for the office in the cold months. Wearers lean towards calling it long-lasting, with a sillage vote that leans moderate. A 3ml decant is plenty to wear it over a few cold nights and decide.

The community verdict
Long-lasting wear is the leading verdict for Black Phantom, while moderate projection also leads. Rum gives way to dark chocolate, coffee and almond, then caramel and sugar cane. It suits winter nights, with autumn and evenings working too; its dark sweetness is for gourmand lovers, though the coffee is quite prominent.

By Kilian Black Phantom in plain words
What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.
What it smells like

How it wears
Wearers report long-lasting wear and a trail from moderate to strong, so it holds its place through an evening.
When to wear it
Winter is the favourite, with autumn next, and wearers pick it for nights and evenings.
Who it suits
