This might be the droid you are looking for!

People really seem to hate the original PHANTOM by Paco Rabanne. By association I bet they'll hate the new Parfum version too. That would be a shame because despite the (allegedly horrid) robot-tle, this is a much different scent profile. A stronger, sweeter, woodier, richer beast of a fragrance.

One caviat stands in the way of a pretty brilliant and highly addicting scent however, and that is Carolina Herrera's BAD BOY. "Bad Boy" is another divisive frag in the community, and it is one I actually love. It's a unique scent and a personal compliment monster. Unfortunately PHANTOM PARFUM is so reminiscent at times to Carolina's top-seller as to nearly be deemed redundant to the uninitiated.

Where PHANTOM PARFUM separates itself from House Herrera is the performance. This juice has real staying power (8-10 hours) and out performs Bad Boy in every regard. It's impressive sillage has already become the talk of my workplace! Also, Bad Boy's more peppery, airey scent burst has been refined with creamier, smoother woods/ vetiver/ vanilla. The rhubarb off the top is just addicting.

This is a quality release from Paco Rabanne. Worth a blind-buy even... for those who are fans of the House and those that do not already own the EDT version of BAD BOY.

Even BAD BOY lovers may want to check out this one for it's stellar performance and (in my opinion) superior smell.

The bottle is really cool too! There. I said it.
