Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Phantom EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Dark Knight EDP
Dark Knight dupes Kilian's Black Phantom, chasing the same boozy rum-coffee-caramel gourmand. It is sweeter and more one-dimensional than the niche original's layered smokiness, with the extrait strength giving decent longevity but a flatter, louder profile that lacks Black Phantom's depth.
