Paco Rabanne Phantom Intense

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on cardamom, lemon and bergamot, moves through lavender, cedar and geranium, and settles on vanilla, tolu balsam and vetiver.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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