Rabanne
Phantom Parfum
“Phantom finally grew up — vanilla absolute and ambergris making a real statement.”
The take
What works
- ●Vanilla absolute and ambergris give the Phantom DNA real depth
- ●Parfum concentration transforms a pleasant EDT into something good
- ●Significantly stronger compliment potential than the EDT
Trade-offs
- ●Doesn't reinvent the Phantom concept — just executes it better
- ●Not distinct enough from EDT to justify owning both
