About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Phantom, launched in 2017, is a unisex oriental vanilla composed by perfumer Sido. The heart is a dense, almost edible blend of dark chocolate, coffee, almond, and heliotrope, while the base layers caramel, sugar cane, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka, and vetiver. There are no listed top notes, so the fragrance opens directly into that rich, bittersweet core. The overall effect is intensely sweet (rated 100% sweet) with warm spicy and caramel facets dominating, and noticeable chocolate, coffee, and rum accents. This is not a shy scent; it's a gourmand powerhouse that demands attention.

Collectors who appreciate deep, boozy desserts and unapologetic sweetness will find Black Phantom compelling, especially in cool weather or evening wear. It suits those who enjoy gourmands like Angel or Tobacco Vanille but want something darker and more decadent. The sandalwood and vetiver in the base add a subtle woody anchor, preventing it from becoming cloying. If you love the idea of a rum-spiked mocha with caramel, this is a must-try. However, those who prefer fresh, light, or subtle fragrances should approach with caution.

中文簡介

Black Phantom 係 Kilian 2017 年推出嘅中性東方香草調,由調香師 Sido 調製。冇前調,直接以黑朱古力、咖啡、杏仁同天芥菜嘅濃郁核心開場,底調係焦糖、蔗糖、檀香、雲呢拿、零陵香豆同香根草。整體極度甜美(甜度 100%),帶溫暖辛辣同焦糖、朱古力、咖啡、冧酒氣息。呢支係美食調嘅重型作品,唔係低調類型。適合鍾意濃郁、酒香同甜品感嘅收藏家,秋冬或夜晚用一流。如果你鍾意 Angel 或 Tobacco Vanille 但想要更暗黑、更奢華嘅版本,呢支值得一試。不過,偏好清新或淡雅嘅人要小心。
