Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm spicy, amber, and resinous facets make Phantom In Red ideal for cooler temperatures, excelling in fall and winter. It is too rich and dense for most summer days, but can be worn during spring transitions or cool evenings.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold, enveloping sillage and sweet-spicy projection are best suited to nights out, dates, and social gatherings rather than office or active situations. It can fit formal occasions where a statement is appropriate, but is less suitable for sporty or professional environments.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Phantom In Red Elixir Parfum envelopes you in a decadent blend of syrupy plum liqueur, saffron, and aromatic lavender, evolving into a plush amber-woody heart with sweet benzoin and smoky tobacco. The base is opulent but never cloying, balancing creamy resins, aromatic herbs, and a touch of modern oud. Its rich, spicy warmth and fruity undertone create a seductive aura that’s both statement-making and surprisingly easy to wear, perfect for cold evenings when you want to feel magnetic and sophisticated.
