Paco Rabanne Phantom Parfum Gift Set 150ml EDP + 10ml EDP Vichy Weekly keeps the colour vivid

Weekly keeps the colour vivid

almost wooden sweetness that sits close to skin rather than projecting

Dylan Blue is less cologne and more a cologne that's thought about itself

Lemon and neroli open bright — the kind of citrus that smells of an Italian garden rather than a kitchen fruit bowl

Paco Rabanne Phantom Parfum Gift Set 150ml EDP + 10ml EDP Vichy Weekly keeps the colour vividPaco Rabanne Phantom opens with cardamom and black pepper that raw, almost savoury spice that sits nowhere near gourmand. The base is tobacco leaf and ambroxan, so it lands closer to a man's cologne from forty years ago than anything modern: a skin scent that doesn't announce itself. EDP for him, 150ml bottle plus a 10ml travel decant. Two sprays on the chest or neck in the morning; it settles fast and doesn't project much beyond your own coat collar.
