The review
Strong contender. That is where Noire Illusion lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Phantom.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 85% less than Black Phantom — the 6th cheapest of 12 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
