PHANTOM IN RED - Parfum Elixir

well-crafted fragrance

This is a well-crafted fragrance built around lavender, benzoin, and oud—notes I usually love and actively seek out. The blend is smooth and refined, with a soft smokiness and warmth. While it didn’t fully win me over on a personal level, it’s still a pleasant, wearable scent that others may connect with more than I did.

Long lasting and smells nice

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Rabanne Phantom In Red is a bold scent. It has warm vanilla and woods with a modern, slightly synthetic edge. Performance is strong with long lasting effect.

Unique sexy scent

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very unique men’s fragrance. Sensual and sexy wood notes along with lavender and smoky notes makes for a very unique and sexy scent. Has great projection and presentation and the dry down is a nice woody scent. A fragrance people will notice and remember.

Good but generic

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Let me just say this - I love some good designer fragrances unfortunately too may of them smell the exact same. In the case of Phantom in Red Parfum Elixir if you have JPG Elixir or Most Wanted, or even Polo 69 (a bit fresher) then you really don’t need this. If you don’t have any of those then this isn’t a bad pick up. I think it’s a bit better than the others as it’s not as harsh or lavender forward (can smell a bit off putting) so worth it in that sense. Like most designer fragrances that aren’t “freshies” it’s got good projection and lasts a long time on the skin.

Awesome

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Rabanne phantom in red parfum elixir smells amazing. I spray two spray in the morning on my chest and the scent lingers all day. This is a great everyday scent that smells of lavender and smoky benzoin. This is a scent I will definitely keep using and purchase again.

Bottled intensity 🔥🤖

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Phantom in Red Parfum Elixir is one of those perfumes that won't go unnoticed, even if you tried. The scent is intense and seductive, with a spicy sweetness that feels warm and modern, not at all cloying. It has that nocturnal vibe that says "confidence activated" from the very first spray. In terms of intensity, it's strong but well-controlled: two or three sprays are enough to leave a lasting impression without being overpowering. The notes are perceived as deep and enveloping, with sweet accords, spicy touches, and a warm base that clings to the skin for hours, evolving elegantly.

Lackluster

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This to me is simple and fairly basic for a Designers winter fragrance, maybe its the benzoin everybody is using but this smells like 10 other perfumes at a department store right now. Its warm and sweet, with a rich darkness behind it that is nice, but doesnt stand out. I also cant smell any oud which is a plus. But not if you enjoy oud fragrances Lackluster and will get forgotten in benign mediocrity.

Smell like other generic parfum and does not last

This is supposed to be an parfum elixir, indicating that it will have a great silage and last longer than other parfum but it does not. It lasts about the same amount of time as cologne - about 2-4 hours. Furthermore, it reminds me of One Million cologne, which may or may not a preference for some.

Great stuff

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The seasonality of this scent profile is super well rounded for complimented by the longevity and the complexity of it all together, the sillage is amazing in this honestly it creates a big bubble, overall this is really great and I need to get myself a big bottle.

Phantom In Red Elixir starting the new year strong

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Rabanne absolutely hit it out of the park with Phantom In Red Parfum Elixir. I’ve always been a big fan of the 1 Million line and the Invictus line, while the Phantom line was honestly my least favorite up until now. This release completely changed that. It’s richer, smoother, and more confident than previous Phantom releases, with a bold sweetness and depth that feels refined instead of gimmicky. Performance is strong, sillage is noticeable without being overwhelming, and it feels versatile enough for nights out or cooler weather. This one shot Phantom straight to the top for me and made me a believer.

Must have for date night

Its a great scent with plum liquor & lavender. Beautiful saffron is just perfect intensity with a little sweetness. Its addictive & sexy. PHANTOM IN RED’s addictive lavender is turned into a potent elixir by the ambery woody inflections of smoky benzoin and sensual saffron. Made for men who were born to stand out. Sillage is good but not overpowering. Night scent, works for date night.

Smells great

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a great anytime fragrance that reminds me of spring and summer. The lavender and smokey scent combines really well and it lasts a good part of the day. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave marks on clothing.
