Kilian Black Phantom

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on rum, moves through dark chocolate, coffee and almond, and settles on caramel, sugar cane and sandalwood.

• rum: boozy and sweet, with caramel warmth
• coffee: roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
