Black Phantom EDP
“A glass of Jamaican rum with a perfect espresso — dark, sweet, and intoxicating.”
Sidonie Lancesseur's 2017 launch in Kilian's L'Œuvre Noire collection — one of the defining boozy-gourmand niches alongside Angels' Share. A rum-coffee-chocolate unisex fragrance with rum at the top, a dark chocolate-coffee-almond-heliotrope heart, and a caramel-sugar cane-vanilla-tonka base with sandalwood and vetiver. Performs strongest in fall and winter, evening, 9-10 hours with strong projection.
