Our verdict on Black Phantom: Acquired

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.

About

Black Phantom opens with a bold, boozy hit of rum, quickly joined by rich, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. As it settles, creamy caramel and sweet sugar cane emerge, intertwined with a nutty almond whisper and a touch of powdery heliotrope. The base deepens with smooth sandalwood, vanilla, and tonka, grounded by a subtle vetiver earthiness.
