Phantom

Phantom is a woody aromatic fragrance for men, created for Rabanne in 2021 by Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Loc Dong, who used a machine-learning process to help choose the materials, a first for the house. Lemon opens it in a hard green flash, sharpened by styrallyl acetate. Lavender then runs through the entire fragrance, blended in several forms and made creamy rather than sharp, with a smoky, apple-tinged patchouli beside it. Vanilla and vetiver finish it. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it works in spring, autumn and winter, day or night.
