Black Phantom tells itself like a night crossing. Martinique rum and caramel open the composition, before a strong coffee takes the helm, held steady by vetiver.
A bitter-almond note, which the house presents as a "cyanide" accord, slips in an elegant threat; yet sugar cane and a creamy sandalwood promise a sweet reward. A theatrical, gourmand woody fragrance.

Black Phantom « Memento Mori » in detail
Kilian Paris, the house of Kilian Hennessy, heir to a great cognac family, cultivates a perfumery of seduction and night. Black Phantom "Memento Mori", signed by Sidonie Lancesseur, evokes a pirate ship in the night: a gourmand woody fragrance, between rum, black coffee and bitter almond.
The official pyramid opens on rum and caramel, a warm, liqueur-like start. The heart is entrusted to coffee, black and roasted, which gives the fragrance its dark character. The base brings together almond, with its touch of bitterness, and sugar cane, which extends the sweetness.
Black Phantom is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a party, a night out, a cold evening. Kilian Paris places it in its gift selection for him.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Straight to Heaven, white cristal, from the same house and the same perfumer, shares rum in a drier woody fragrance; Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris and Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d'Orange have no note in common with it, but belong to the same woody family, with a gourmand softness, date for one, vanilla for the other.
