The review

Spectre scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Phantom.

Perfume Parlour 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.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $122 per 100ml.

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 Perfume Parlour 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

Paco Rabanne Phantom is lemon and lavender at first, lavender, sage and vetiver at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and woody notes at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • lemon
  • lavender

Heart

  • lavender
  • sage

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.
