Noire Illusion EDP
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 - Noire Illusion EDP
Noire Illusion takes aim at Kilian Black Phantom's dark, boozy coffee-and-chocolate gourmand and lands the bitter-sweet roast convincingly. The original's salty-rum complexity and creamy depth read simpler here, with the caramel weighted up, but it's a rich, comforting budget gourmand.
