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.

The house
More from By Kilian
By Kilian started in France in 2007 with a clear taste for boozy, sweet, after-dark perfume. Rum, caramel and vanilla run through much of the range, warmed by cinnamon and cardamom and set on patchouli, cedar or sandalwood. Angels' Share is the natural first try, warm spice and sweet woods with a glow like an old liqueur. Love Don't Be Shy is softer, sugary white flowers over vanilla. Back to Black brings honey and tobacco, and Black Phantom leans into caramel and spice. For a lighter mood, Moonlight in Heaven pairs citrus with tropical fruit.
