What does Phantom in Red smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good by those who voted. Night out and evening are the occasions it is most often suggested for, though daily wear, leisure and business also get votes, and it isn't tied to one season. It reads masculine.

The notes come across as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Saffron and benzoin give a sweet, spicy warmth, oud adds a woody, leathery depth, and lavender carries the floral side. Fruity and creamy touches round it out, and the overall impression is sweet with a synthetic sheen.
