Steps in the Right Direction

The original Phantom is by far the worst among Paco Rabanne's club fragrances, in my opinion. Nevertheless, this little ugly thing seems to sell quite well; otherwise, it's hard to explain why it is already receiving its second flanker.
Phantom Intense is slightly less light than the EdT, a bit spicier, and somewhat less synthetic. Otherwise, it is the same. Over time, it also loses the synthetic edge and thus becomes even better. It remains a club and party scent, but this one is also conceivable for dates.
The base DNA remains the same, and I can hardly relate to it. The opening is still unpleasantly synthetic, and the rest is nice but nothing special. I'd rather go for Invictus Eau de Toilette or 1 Million Eau de Toilette.

The sillage is as expected (it's an EdP), good, but it diminishes a bit too early for me after about 2 hours, although it remains noticeable. Only after 3½ hours does it take a steep decline. 7 hours after spraying, it is only close to the skin.
The toy bottle is still hideously ugly, but slightly better than the EdT due to the gradient.

The bottles from Rabanne are a topic in themselves. I often don't know whether to find them great or terrible. At least they stand out.
The scents leave less of an impression.
