The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, Black Phantom Memento Mori Anniversary Edition by By Kilian is a richly layered Oriental Vanilla fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the sweetness of caramel and rum before settling into a warm base of chocolate, vanilla, and spicy notes like almond and cardamom. This complex blend creates an indulgent atmosphere that feels luxurious and comforting, evoking the feeling of savoring a decadent dessert in a cozy room.

How to wear it

This fragrance has long-lasting longevity, so one or two sprays will suffice. Apply it to pulse points where your body heat can warm up the notes, allowing them to bloom gradually throughout the day. It's best enjoyed during cooler evenings when its rich and spicy warmth feels most comforting.
