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 - Black Phantom EDP
Black Phantom dupes Kilian's dark rum-and-chocolate gourmand cult favourite - the boozy coffee opening is a fun, faithful echo, but the dupe's caramel-chocolate base loses the original's near-legendary depth and staying power.
