Paco Rabanne Phantom presentset: EDT 100 ml + 20 ml

Phantom comes across to me as a very modern, synthetically influenced scent that is heavily geared towards recognition and mass appeal. Right at the beginning, I perceive a sweet, almost sticky freshness, which is quickly accompanied by an artificially sounding lavender-vanilla combination. As it progresses, the fragrance remains relatively linear and develops little depth for me, but maintains a constant presence. This very mix can become somewhat overwhelming over time, especially if one is sensitive to sweet-synthetic notes. I can understand its appeal for younger target groups or as a club fragrance, but in everyday life, it is personally too loud and lacks elegance for me. The performance is solid, but the fragrance style does not suit my taste.

My husband loves the smell of this aftershave (and so do I!) and the robot bottle is so cute too!! Perfect present for men of all ages!

Bought for my adult son as a birthday present. A long lasting scent which is great for both day and evening. This is his second bottle which I know will be readily received .

Nice scent and presentation with bottle design not my favourite but still nice to wear
