Blending earthy vetiver, creamy vanilla and a masculine take on lavender, it has a commanding intensity that feels both modern and unexpected. Here’s what else you should know… [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/49488) Created in partnership with Rabanne [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/ceE1AjBND7jsIA_vXsliO0tl1V4=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Frabanne-main1.gif) ](https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/p/phantom-parfum--000000000065188737) ## The Background The scent has real presence, bringing an energy that settles into something subtly powerful. The initial uplifting rush of lemon and bergamot is sharpened by rhubarb. As it settles, creamy vanilla – balanced by earthy vetiver – adds texture and depth. With a more refined take on Phantom’s signature lavender, grounded by patchouli and cedarwood, the result is a smooth, woody trail that lasts without ever feeling overpowering – confident, modern and built for the night. ## The Notes Few fragrance houses push boundaries quite like [Rabanne.](https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/) Inspired by the Parisian night owl, [Phantom Parfum](https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/p/phantom-parfum--000000000065188737) is steeped in rebellious spirit. Developed by scent masters Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Juliette Karagueuzoglou, it sharpens the original Phantom into something darker, moodier and more mysterious – the ideal gift for the man who favours a bold, enigmatic scent. Intense, woody and quietly addictive, this is the sort of scent that will earn him compliments before he's even taken his coat off – and lingers long after the party winds down. ## The Bottle Phantom’s refillable robot-shaped bottle is a playful nod to Rabanne’s futuristic outlook. The Parfum version takes it up a notch: the matte black finish gives it a stealthy, premium edge – ideal for the man who wants something a little different on his bathroom shelf. ![Phantom Parfum](https://media.sheerluxe.com/jF6poVpu8GnjtqQkrdyO7Jgi74c=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fphantom-parfum.png) [#### Phantom Parfum](https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/c/frag-men-phantom) £75 *(was £108)* [ Flag this item ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/49488 "Add product to my favourites") ## The Buzz *“The scent is modern and lasts all day without being overpowering. I got compliments every time I wore it. Perfect balance of freshness and warmth – definitely a new favourite.”* *“This is definitely a more mature take on the original. It keeps the same vibe but tones down the sweetness, making it smoother and more grown-up. It has good projection, without being too loud, and lasts all day on me.”* *“I recently tried this and I'm thoroughly impressed. It’s the perfect blend of bold and fresh notes, making it both energising and sophisticated.”* *“It opens smooth with a mix of spice and sweetness, then settles into a deep, masculine scent. It’s strong without being too heavy, and works well for evenings or cooler days.”* *\*Reviews taken from* [BOOTS.COM](http://boots.com) --- ## THINKING AHEAD TO CHRISTMAS?
