The review

On paper, Spectre Wraith is a reasonable bet if you want Black Phantom for less.

French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Phantom's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $113 it costs 63% less than Black Phantom.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on rum, turns to coffee, dark chocolate and almond, and settles into caramel, sugar cane and vanilla. That is the brief Spectre Wraith is working from.

Top

  • rum

Heart

  • coffee
  • dark chocolate
  • almond

Base

  • caramel
  • sugar cane
  • vanilla
For the one who craves a pirate's treasure of dark coffee, chocolate and boozy rum, brooding, mysterious and unabashedly dessert-sweet.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
