It doesn’t smell mineral at all
It doesn’t smell like mineral oud.
Vro, it literally smells like a variant of Scandal, similar to the one I have.
The ‘mineral notes’ part, I don’t know where that comes from. The aquatic ones… well, there’s a certain blue sandalwood. It’s a fruity vanilla, leaning towards pineapple, with disco club glitz. It has a milky base with a certain darkness that suits it, although everything is very immersed in an ambroxan matrix. I recognise one virtue: it doesn’t try to be fresh, it doesn’t try to tick all the boxes like other lifestyle fragrances. It’s a heavy and enveloping fruity scent. I wonder if in 40 years young people will smell the opening and say it smells like a ’60-year-old man who hasn’t moved past his party phase’. Or if vintage connoisseurs will rescue these seductive formulas and reinterpret them without prejudice. One would have to mix ylang-ylang/iris with thyme/basil with ambroxan/Chamomile with confit flowers/cherry to make a true intergenerational unisex.
Ugh, I’m retracting what I said; the dry-down of this perfume is horrific. Seriously, they’ve taken a bit of each Phantom and added the most artificial element from each. I don’t know where the oud, marine, and mineral notes came from; they aren’t there. I feel this launch is nothing but an attempt to squeeze every last drop out of the Phantom line, and while I like the line, this launch has been a disgrace.
Why so much hate from people who haven’t even tested it and already rate it poorly, just like Le Male Elixir Absolu? Stop being such haters and vote for those who deserve it, like the ones for SpongeBob or Lightning McQueen, which aren’t worth a damn and don’t last 30 minutes.
Hello, my name is Éric Sélène. I’m sharing my first impressions of this controversial but interesting fragrance. Paco Rabanne Phantom Elixir is a deeper and more sophisticated flanker than the original. The bottle keeps the futuristic robotic design but is darker and more elegant, ideal for evening wear. It’s an oriental-woody fragrance with spicy touches. The opening is vibrant and sweet with caramelised lavender, a spicy heart of geranium, and a slight fruity nuance. The base is rich and dense with vanilla, smoked woods, and a mineral earthy finish. It’s well-balanced, seductive, and addictive. The good: superior projection and longevity over 8 hours, prominent sillage; evening versatility while maintaining freshness; youthful and modern appeal. The bad: dominant sweetness that can be excessive; less versatile for daytime as it’s heavy in heat; market competition. Recommendations: ideal for men aged 20 to 35, charismatic and confident. Seasons: autumn and winter. Occasion: definitely evening, dates, parties, or formal events. Verdict: it’s a bold step for Rabanne, deeper and more sophisticated. It doesn’t go unnoticed, designed for lovers of sweet and intense scents. While it’s not for everyone, its proposal is clear: conquer the night with elegance and audacity.
Wow, it literally smells like a variant of Scandal, similar to the one I have.
Hello, my name is Éric Sélène, I’ll give you my first impressions on this interesting fragrance, although it’s a bit controversial, but it’s an interesting option for passing the hours. Paco Rabanne Phantom Elixir is a flanker that ventures into deeper and more sophisticated territory than its predecessor. The bottle maintains the characteristic robotic futuristic design, but with a darker and more elegant aesthetic, reflecting the shift towards a more nocturnal and mature fragrance. The packaging is the characteristic one from previous versions, this packaging that speaks of technological audacity, ideal for those who appreciate innovative design. This ‘Phantom’ version, now with ‘Elixir’, is situated in the oriental-woody family with spicy touches. The opening is vibrant and sweet thanks to a caramelised lavender accord, combined with a spicy heart of geranium and a slight fruity nuance. The base, rich and dense, is dominated by vanilla, smoked woods, and a slightly earthy mineral finish. The blend is well-balanced, achieving a scent that is seductive and addictive. Now I’ll give you the good and the bad: The good: – Projection and longevity: Powerful fragrance with a prominent trail that lasts over 8 hours, ideal for leaving a memorable impression. – Nocturnal versatility: Despite its depth, it maintains a certain freshness, making it perfect for night outings or formal events. – Youthful and modern appeal: Ideal for those seeking a scent that combines sensuality and vanguard. The bad: – Dominant sweetness: Although well-integrated, the initial sweetness can be excessive if you prefer drier or sober scents. – Less versatile for daytime: Its dark and sweet profile can feel heavy in warm climates or for daytime activities. – Market competition: Excess of perfumes in the same scent category. Recommendations: – User: Phantom Elixir is ideal for men aged 20 to 35 who enjoy bold fragrances and aren’t afraid to stand out. Its modern and sensual character makes it perfect for charismatic and confident personalities. – Seasons: It performs exceptionally well in autumn and winter, where its warmth and depth complement the cold climate. – Occasion of Use: Definitely a nocturnal fragrance, ideal for dates, parties, or formal events. My Final Verdict: Phantom Elixir is a bold step for Paco Rabanne, betting on greater depth and sophistication within its line. It’s a fragrance that doesn’t go unnoticed, designed for lovers of sweet, intense, and modern scents. While it’s not for everyone, its proposal is clear: a perfume to conquer the night with elegance and audacity.
The ‘mineral notes’ thing—I don’t know where that comes from. And the aquatic notes… well, there’s a certain blue sandalwood. It’s a fruity vanilla, leaning towards pineapple, with disco hall glitz. It has a musky base with a certain darkness that doesn’t go amiss, although everything is very immersed in an ambroxan matrix (but without overdoing it). I must admit one virtue: it doesn’t try to be fresh. It doesn’t try to tick every box like other ‘lifestyle’ fragrances do. This is a heavy, enveloping fruity scent, full stop. I wonder if in 40 years there will be young people who, just smelling the opening, say it smells like a ’60-year-old man who hasn’t moved past his party phase’. Or if there will be vintage sycophants who dedicate themselves to rescuing these ‘seducer’ or ‘panty dropper’ formulas, perhaps reinterpreting them with a renewed perspective, viewing them free of prejudice. One would have to mix ylang-ylang/iris with thyme/basil with ambroxan/elderflower with candied flowers/cherry to create a true intergenerational unisex.
It’s not a bad perfume, but it’s not something you’ll stand out with. It’s just another one of the crowd, another mediocre fragrance with the genetics you can find in Paco Rabanne or Carolina Herrera.
I see a lot of hatred for this perfume and I don’t think it deserves it. It’s sweet and the least versatile in the line, diverging quite a bit from the other Phantoms. It’s very pleasant but I don’t feel any marine or oud notes at all. People insist on attacking this type of perfume (Paco Rabanne and especially this line) when the majority haven’t tested them and follow what some reviewers say, ridiculously exaggerated.
I tried it today and noticed it diverges significantly from the other Phantoms; that mineral touch is incredibly strong and dominates everything, except for the vanilla, which is slightly detectable. I agree it’s designed for daytime wear. I was surprised that just two sprays lasted all day with good projection, but for me, it smells very mineral and I wouldn’t use it, although it’s not a bad perfume if you like that style. Recommend it to those who enjoy it, but remember: it’s not the perfume, it’s the person wearing it. Duration: 7h, projection: 5h. Scent: 7-8/10. Mineral, marine, and light vanilla.
I think people don’t understand this fragrance; they say you won’t stand out, but that’s not its aim. It’s the most versatile of all thanks to those mineral and marine notes. I see it as perfect for daytime, exactly where you don’t seek attention like you would with an evening scent.
At first, it smells like pure Phantom EDT for a few minutes, earthy notes, then it evolves into synthetic (in a good way, the Phantom line plays with that well), metallic, creamy vanilla, and oud in the base, friendly but with weight. It’s the most distinct I’ve heard in designer perfumes, or one of the (Boss Bottled Absolute takes the lead). More than marine, it has a ‘blue’ accord like Dylan Blue, though the marine aspect is almost invisible. Once settled, it’s linear with that vanilla and metal base. It doesn’t evolve much, but if you’re looking for something that doesn’t change, it’s for you. Rabanne made life complicated for themselves 🥱 I wouldn’t pay much for ‘elixir’ in terms of longevity: on skin it lasts about 7 hours present, then drops off abruptly. Don’t overdo the sprays, it’s explosive. Projects consistently for 4-5 hours and lasts all day on clothes if you don’t wash them. Scent: 7/10 (distinct, boring, rich). Longevity: 7 hours (harassing, overwhelming, excellent trail). Projection: 7/10 (strong for 3 hours, then a bubble at 20cm). Occasions: daily in cold weather, semi-formal (work, informal baptisms, casino, nothing for the club). Overall 7/10. Personally, I loved it. The Phantom line, though hated for being repetitive or mass-market, got me into perfumery and my affection is undisputed. Objective review because tastes vary and those seeking reviews need to know about the perfume. Hope it helps 🫡
At first, the Phantom EDT is quite strong for about five minutes, then it evolves into a modern synthetic scent, metallic with creamy vanilla and an oud base that gives it weight. It’s the most distinct I’ve smelled in designer perfumes, although Boss Bottled Absolu takes the lead in originality. More than marine, it has a ‘blue’ touch similar to Dylan Blue, but there’s no marine note to be found. Once settled, it stays linear with that metallic note and vanilla base, without much evolution. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t change, this is for you. I don’t know if Rabanne made life complicated for themselves 🥱. I wouldn’t give the ‘Elixir’ for longevity, as it lasts about 7 hours on skin but then drops off abruptly; don’t over-spray, it’s too explosive. Projection is consistent for 4-5 hours and lasts all day on clothes. Scent: 7/10 (distinct, boring, rich). Longevity: 7 hours (pungent, excellent sillage). Projection: 7/10 (strong for the first 3 hours, then a bubble at 20cm). Occasions: daily on cold days, semi-formal, work, informal baptisms, casino, nothing for the club. Overall 7/10. I loved it. The Phantom line, repetitive as it is, got me into perfumery. I’ve written an objective review; tastes vary.
Reading the notes, I thought: ‘Oud? It’s going to smell weird’. And I wasn’t wrong, but it’s not pure oud. The opening is very salty, as if they threw sea salt in your face, synthetic, strong, and heavy. Then just synthetic vanilla, like instant custard. I expected better for an ‘elixir’.
I try to like it but there’s no point. It’s sweet, salty, and mineral all at once, very hard to explain. I’ve worn it several times and it didn’t convey anything to me.
Nice perfume. I thought it would be the classic sweet one, but no, I can smell all the notes and the oud is very toned down, which I think is excellent. It’s very wearable in all seasons and could be a signature scent if you control the sprays.
Good perfume. I thought it would be the sweet classic, but I can smell all the notes. The oud is very toned down and I think it’s excellent. It’s wearable all year round and can be a signature scent if you control the sprays.
Salty oud with vanilla 🤢
I don’t know what this perfume is: salty oud with vanilla and a horrible metallic base, something that smells like seaweed. It’s like eating mantecadas and trying to make sushi, but it smells of sharp, unpleasant metal. Unpleasant and confusing.
Not for summer; it smells odd combining oud, marine notes, and metallic accords.
A perfume that doesn’t know what it wants to be: salty vanilla oud with something horrible metallic at the base, with something that paints like algae, as if you took a sweet cake and tried to make sushi out of it, but it also smells like an unpleasant sharp metal. I think the best way to describe it is as if someone ran a whole marathon without deodorant and put on a vanilla and oud perfume to hide their smell. Unpleasant and confusing.
Haha, novices think it’s bad, while niche lovers consider it the best of Phantom for its originality in a mainstream brand. It’s the mature version of those robots: a brief ozone opening followed by the classic Phantom. It’s not that summery; better for mild evenings. Longevity and projection are good, as always with Rabanne.
This isn’t for summer, but it’s a somewhat rare scent combined with oud, marine notes, and metallic ones.
The only one I like from the line; I hate the others. It’s a niche-style salty vanilla, like Sel Vanille by Maison Tahiti, but with the classic Rabanne DNA.
Honestly, I don’t know why there’s so much hate. I’m not an expert, but I perceive the ‘marine notes’ as ‘Play-Doh’, nothing annoying. Throughout the day it transitions with the vanilla until at night only the vanilla scent remains, nothing cloying. The longevity amazes me and so does its versatility. Regarding projection, I’d say it’s not much; it feels like a very intimate scent, sticking to the skin.
To be honest, I don’t understand the bad reputation it has. I’m not an expert, but the marine notes at first remind me of plasticine, which isn’t unpleasant. Over time, it turns into vanilla, which isn’t cloying, and lasts all day. The projection is intimate, sticking to the skin, but the longevity and versatility are incredible.
