The review

Black Widow scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Phantom.

The Dua Brand 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 $126 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Black Phantom — the 10th cheapest of 12 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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

By Kilian Black Phantom is rum at first, coffee, dark chocolate and almond at its heart and caramel, sugar cane and vanilla at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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