Rabanne Phantom Elixir is a Parfum launched in 2025, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Anne Flipo, and Paul Guerlain. Phantom Elixir opens with Sea Water, settles into a heart of Pebbles and Oud, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Rabanne's Phantom Elixir carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair, blending sweetness with an unexpected marine-mineral tang. You'll either get its unique vibe or find yourself wondering what's hit you. Not a safe bet for everyone and definitely not 'elixir'-level in performance quality for some.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with a bracing blast of sea water, swiftly joined by a subtle, almost unidentifiable oud which is more 'mineral woodiness' than traditional dark oud. A touch of synthetic vanilla rounds things out, sweetening the otherwise salty, aquatic experience. If you like your freshness with a candy-coated edge, this is your jam; otherwise, it might feel a bit muddled.
