PERFUME LONGEVITY
AT WHAT DISTANCE IT IS SENSED
By Kilian Black Phantom — the dark dessert-bar, a niche gourmand chapter
By Kilian Black Phantom is the 2017 unisex EDP from By Kilian. Often typed as "Kilian Black Phantom", "Black Phantom perfume", "Kilian Phantom". The pirate-themed bottle (a dark skull shape) and the "memento mori" aesthetic form the composition's main conceptual frame.
The saturated triangle of rum, coffee and dark chocolate
Perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur (creator of Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Hermès Twilly) opens on a rum accord and dark mechanical notes for a warm, contrasting entry. The heart unfolds the composition's unexpected tandem — the coffee and dark-chocolate "dessert-bar after midnight" duo. The base deepens into almond, caramel, sandalwood, heliotrope and reed — gourmand on one side, mechanically dry on the other. Sillage very strong, longevity 10-12 hours — niche beast-mode category.
Who Black Phantom is for, and where
Best for ages 25-55. For niche gourmand collectors, lovers of mechanical-dark aesthetics, and wearers drawn to "memento mori" themes. Ideal seasonally for autumn-winter — the coffee-chocolate base opens a richer aura in cold weather. Place: evening-night events, art-culture happenings, clubs, sophisticated dating, the "individual signature" role.
The pirate bottle and the conceptual narrative
Black Phantom's core visual identity is the dark skull-shaped bottle — part of Kilian's 2017 "Garden of Good and Evil" concept series. The bottle embodies Kilian Hennessy's pirate-romance aesthetic vision, and the composition translates it into the language of "dessert-bar after dark" perfumery. Regarded as one of the most collector-coveted objects in the premium niche category.
