Sidonie Lancesseur

"Black Phantom Eau de Parfum is a dark, boozy gourmand from Kilian built around the idea of a pirate ship carrying illicit treasures across black waters. Its signature character centers on rum, coffee, chocolate, sugar-caramel sweetness, and creamy woods, giving it a decadent and slightly dangerous tone. Although marketed with dramatic 'Memento Mori' storytelling, the fragrance is best understood as a rich niche gourmand with bitter, roasted, and liqueur-like facets. It was created by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur and launched in 2017. The scent has become one of the better-known modern Kilian releases for people seeking a sweet but shadowy evening fragrance. Its reputation is especially strong among lovers of coffee-rum perfumes with substantial depth and sensuality."

Reviews Summary

“Community and reviewer feedback consistently describes Black Phantom as a rich, dark gourmand dominated by rum, coffee, chocolate, caramel, and creamy woods. It is widely praised for its sensual cold-weather character, strong longevity, and dramatic presentation, though some users find it very sweet or compare parts of its profile to other modern coffee-gourmands. Overall sentiment is strongly positive among people who enjoy boozy dessert-like niche fragrances.”
