Rabanne Phantom Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, Paul Guerlain, and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Phantom Intense opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Lemon, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tolu Balsam. Rabanne's Phantom Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a divisive flanker that some reviewers love for its mass appeal and others find generic. A tweaked version of the original Phantom DNA, it delivers a fresh, sweet, and aromatic experience that sticks close to current designer trends. If you're bored of the original, this might not convert you.

Scent Profile

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a zesty, almost fizzy burst of citrus from bergamot and lemon, sharpened by the tartness of rhubarb. This invigorating start mellows into an aromatic heart where lavender and geranium provide a clean, slightly herbaceous quality, grounded by earthy patchouli and cedar. The dry-down becomes a smooth, warm embrace of creamy vanilla and tolu balsam, with vetiver lending a subtle, smoky depth. It's a modern aromatic vanilla, fresh yet comforting.
