Black Phantom

Black Phantom, a Coffee and Rum Gourmand

Black Phantom was made to feel like a hidden bottle of rum and a shot of espresso. Our version keeps that indulgent character, opening with coffee and rum before easing into almond and caramel over a base of dark chocolate and sugar.

The Story Behind the Scent

Kilian built Black Phantom around a playful skull and crossbones theme, a fragrance meant to feel like buried treasure, all rum, coffee, and sweets. The idea was decadence with a wink, luxurious but fun.

The result became a favourite for lovers of dark, boozy gourmands. The coffee gives it edge, the rum adds warmth, and the caramel and chocolate make it moreish. Our interpretation follows that same recipe from the boozy opening to the sweet, cosy finish.
