Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Phantom EDT
A crowd-pleasing, futuristic blend of creamy vanilla, juicy apple, and aromatic lavender, Phantom is bold, fun, and easy to love. Expect compliments and a feelgood, youthful energy with every wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - First Generation EDP
First Generation tracks Nuit d'Issey Miyake's dark, peppery-leather signature - black pepper over smoky woods, patchouli and tonka. The bones are right, but it renders flatter and skin-close where the original projects a richer, smokier leather and holds longer.

Season and Occasion Fit

Phantom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The lively citrus and aromatic top blend well with warm vanilla and woods, making Phantom versatile in spring and summer and pleasant for early fall. Its sweetness is toned enough for warm weather but rich enough for cool evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Moderate projection and a bright, uplifting character make Phantom safe for work, casual, and date settings-its sweet, playful vibe is less suited to very formal or athletic occasions.

First Generation

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The leather, incense and warm spice core is built for cool weather; it would smother in summer heat and shines in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

A dark, peppery-leather scent that suits evenings, dates and formal cool-weather wear far more than daytime sport or office settings.
