Which Should You Buy?
Black Phantom is the Marmite of gourmands: a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a journey from boozy, bitter darkness to sweet, seductive warmth. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample it before you commit.
This one's a divisive gourmand. Some reckon it's a photorealistic dessert dream, pure deliciousness in a bottle. Others find it utterly disappointing, with off-putting savoury notes or an uninspired, chemical scent. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and many suggest it's best for layering.
