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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Tortuga EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Kilian Black Phantom (2017) - rum, coffee and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
