The review

On paper, Phonics is a reasonable bet if you want Phantom for less.

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

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

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Paris Corner 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 lemon and lavender, turns to lavender, sage and vetiver, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and woody notes. That is the brief Phonics is working from.

Top

  • lemon
  • lavender

Heart

  • lavender
  • sage
  • vetiver

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • woody notes
Bright lemon and lavender over soft vanilla, clean and easy in any setting.

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