Descripción
Phantom in Red by Rabanne is a woody oriental fragrance for men. This creation, launched in 2025, was designed by Anne Flipo, Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Nicolas Beaulieu. In its opening, the composition unfolds a vibrant accord of saffron, plum liqueur and bergamot. The heart reveals a floral and herbaceous harmony with lavender, sage and orange blossom. The trail settles on a warm and deep base formed by amberwood, benzoin, oud wood and tobacco.

I love it. It smells exactly as the notes describe: saffron, plum, lavender, tobacco, and benzoin with an amber base (I imagine this is due to the Amberwood, although I read Oud but I’m not sure). I detected some red fruits. It reminded me slightly of 1 Million Royal and a touch of Ferrari Red. The original Phantom never appealed to me: too strong with tropical notes that aren’t mine. Here, other jammy red fruit notes are felt, something very sexy. I see it as youthful, but I don’t care; I want it in my collection because it’s unfortunately a limited edition. Edit: Now that I own it and have tested it properly, it also gave me the sensation of smelling like a first-aid kit, but well, I still like it quite a lot.
Testing a sample sent to me, and I’ll develop a full review shortly; I’ll just say that the first impression is surprisingly favourable after checking its dark, oriental focus.
By far the worst line from Rabanne: the bottle doesn’t lie, but the Phantom scents are disappointing. A launch that passes without merit or glory; simply not worth the spend.
I’m not sure if it resembles anything listed there, but it’s nothing innovative; it’s very similar to many others.
I already own it and it’s complicated. The perfume isn’t bad; in fact, it’s very good, though I still need to explore it more with my nose. It’s rich but nothing new; initially, it smells like Le Male Elixir with the Phantom DNA, then it shifts. It’s a pity I let the hype get to me and paid €130 when it’ll be €85 at El Corte Inglés in a few months. It’s not worth the launch price; it’s the party-loving youth fragrance we young people love, built on the Rabanne DNA. Do I regret it? Yes, only because of the price. I could have bought something similar from a designer brand for less. The scent is rich, though not original. The notes on Fragrantica are wrong: the sample paper declares Oud, yet it’s synthetic (unlike the ‘One Million Golden Oud’). I find it rich and usable in all seasons with care in summer, and at night for parties or dates. Projection and longevity leave you wanting nothing, although I’ve only tested it on my wrist; last night I fell asleep with it on my arm, and this morning I still detect a faint scent. Definitely over six hours on skin, certainly not as the image suggests.
Another release that adds nothing to perfumery. If you let me smell it without showing me the bottle, I’d say it’s by Rabanne or JPG, as it fits the same line of sweet, repetitive scents they’ve been churning out for years. Like all these fragrances, it has projection and longevity, because they’re designed to grab attention rather than convey class. I suppose the target audience is young guys.
The red Phantom is not bad, but it is better than the original; it is redder, more liqueur-like, and has an oud touch, creating a more elegant, sophisticated, and casual perfume.

Phantom In Red is, without a doubt, the flanker I have liked most from the entire line, and I say this trying to be as objective as possible. To start with, it completely removes that unpleasant facet of the original Phantom, which on my skin used to smell like kerosene or a strange chemical accord. Here, that disappears. Instead, it adds a more aromatic and fresh lavender, accompanied by a sweet and slightly caramelised touch. It also vibrates quite a bit with juicy red fruits, giving it a modern and attractive character. Personally, in the air, it reminds me a bit of Prada Luna Rossa Sport, saving distances. Despite tobacco or smoky nuances being mentioned in the notes, the scent feels in no way heavy or dense. On the contrary, it remains balanced and quite easy to wear. It is clearly a trendy fragrance, with a rich and polished feel, ideal for autumn/winter or for the evening. I perceive it as youthful and perfectly unisex. Longevity and sillage are correct, without exaggeration, but they fulfil their function well. I love this fragrance and, for my personal taste, it is much better than the previous versions. It is clearly designed for a younger audience and works better in extremely informal occasions: clubbing, bars, or anywhere with music and dancing. Is it a money grabber? Probably yes. But it is also true that compliments are more than assured. Excellent launch by Rabanne.

I will be clear about this, and probably about most of this line. Personally, I see it as a line that screams generic. They add nothing, say nothing, and are very synthetic in the bad sense for what they are worth. Do they smell good? Hmm, yes. But for me, they are laziness made into perfume.
The Phantom Red isn’t bad, but it’s better than the original: it’s redder, more liqueur-like, and has a touch of Oud, making for a more elegant, sophisticated, and casual fragrance.
Bright opening, sour-sweet, alcoholic and liqueur-like. The best part, without a doubt… Then it settles into lavender and moves to multiple sweet resins with pronounced dark woods and tobacco. A young, warm, resinous perfume, with an elegant and dark fruity touch. It is good, surpassing the previous ones.
It seems very similar in the dry down to Loewe’s Doré, a walk through Madrid. Of course, there is the price difference of over €250. I think it is a good perfume for going out at night and in winter.

Curious that a perfume with a youthful aesthetic presents an oud accord in the dry down that darkens it and adds mystery. It also has that unforgivable sweet facet. Seems like it’s not among the worst things one could find on the shelves nowadays…
Unlike its feminine counterpart, this Phantom is quite pleasant. A potent opening of mature lavender, followed by a very pleasant resinous middle phase, and finishing with a sweet smoky base. It is not generic; unlike toooood many flankers in the line, it is the best… but beware! Given the price, there are many more elegant and characterful perfumes.
I don’t understand how so many people say this resembles Polo Red. I tested them side by side, wearing them dry, and found no similarity in either the opening or the dry down. The opening seemed citric and slightly sweet; I didn’t like it at all. And in the dry down… I detect oud and/or tobacco! If there is lavender, it disappears. Nothing is more different from the little red Polo; that one is sweet, pleasant for the day, and conveys good humour; this is heavier, unsuitable for the day or for a young person, and I would definitely not buy it without trying it. But I would gift it to my old man! If I had to relate it, even if you threw a stone at me, I would see it as a distant relative of Ombré Nomade long before those with more votes.
The opening is synthetic, with that synthetic lavender DNA from the classic Phantom; it also resembles the Invictus Victory Elixir a bit, but more smoky and powdery. Much better in the dry down, it resembles the Le Male Elixir more. Very good, but the opening is questionable. Medium projection on my skin, 8/10.
The opening is synthetic, carrying that artificial lavender DNA of the classic Phantom; it leans slightly towards Invictus Victory Elixir but is smokier and more powdery. It dries down much better, resembling Le Male Elixir more closely. Very good overall, though the opening is questionable. Moderate projection on my skin, 8/10.
