Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive scent, eliciting strong opinions from love to absolute loathing. If you're after a beast-mode, sweet, lemon-vanilla punch that fills a room and gets noticed, this budget-friendly option might just be your loud, unapologetic cup of tea. Just be prepared for the 'laundry detergent' comparisons.
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Paco Rabanne's Phantom (2021) - the Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, Loc Dong and Juliette Karagueuzoglou lavender-apple-vanilla masculine that became Rabanne's modern futurist signature, here translated into a lavender-lemon opening over apple and a vanilla-patchouli close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and casual wear at a fraction of the designer price.
