Insomnia

I'm glad to be the first one that shares some words here about Insomnia by Faviol Seferi. In in a short - Insomnia is great night out powerful scent, perfect for clubbing, going to a bar, having date and so on. The key words here are - seductive spicy vanilla, creamy woody vibe, bold dark chocolate type of patchouli and amazing aged rum / bourbon whiskey accord. To me, Insomnia is unique fragrance, because it got seductive and alluring character, but it doesn't smell too sweet or overwhelming in gourmand direction. In Insomnia I feel very well blended notes, like they are talking to each other and the result is stunning. I'm sure people who love spicy rum aroma will gone mad this scent. But the good thing is the complexity is sill there. The creamy woody accords are prominent from the start till the end of it's scent life. So, people who are looking at the pyramid and thinking: "Oh wow! This will be amazing sweet and gourmand scent!" will be partly disappointed. To me, Insomnia is not true gourmand fragrance, despite all the yummy notes. I also sense some spices like cinnamon, but it's softly input. You know when you smell quality glass of aged rum or bourbon whisky - you can smell the spicy vanilla, the cinnamon, the sweet/caramel aspect. In Insomnia is the same and that's why I love it. Nothing artificial of cheap Tonka Bean smelling. The performance is great - all day longevity with powerful projection. I know some people are interested - how close Insomnia is to Black Phantom By Kilian. Well, I think they both got something common, but they have some clear differences as well. I don't consider Insomnia as a copy of Black Phantom in any meaning. The similarity between them is giving me the right to tell only if someone likes one of them, there is a big chance to like the other one too. But they got differences for sure. Black Phantom is more focus on chocolate-gourmand-nutty aspect and Insomnia is more thick and dark, focused on woody-boozy aroma. When I think of Black Phantom I think of the perfect and amazing piece of Tiramisu, but when I think of Insomnia, I think of top quality glass of Rum. In conclusion - Insomnia is a great night out scent, that will make your night adventures more juicy :) It will got compliments for you for sure.

👀😋🤗 This is the funny story: The perfume came just in time for presents of St. Nicolas - people in Europe will know what I talk about. St. Nicolas (in USA Santa Claus), who has his nameday on 6 Dec, brings presents to children at the Eve of his nameday - on 5 Dec. So I came into the office in the morning, and I just found a little dark chocolate stick filled with chocolate-rum filling on my table, together with the package, which contained this perfume. The little chocolate originated from our boss, never mind. But the coincidence 😁🤭!!! The notes you feel when you spray this perfume, are just the same: dark bitter chocolate, boozy rum, aromatic coffee. Something what reminds me of Black Opium and its flankers. Just way more sophisticated and more professional. In fact, it was so yummy, that my empty stomach started to protest - so I ate that chocolate stick right away 😁. As the perfume dries down, you smell a sweet caramely caffe latte, with lots of milk. The rum and coffee are now somewhere in the background, the milk, vanilla and caramel came forward. OK, if a concentrate a lot at sniffing my wrist, I still detect a chocolate. Somewhere. A bit of cedar peeping through. Sandalwood and patch not detectable, but this overal depth of the caffe latte is definitely there. If you are experienced enough, you know it must be the woods. All in all, it is blended beautifully. And it was a blind buy. And I even do not know Killian's Black Phantom. But I know Killian as a House - it is one of my favourite houses anyway. So I knew I can't really go wrong with this perfume, if it really resembles BPh. It is just beautiful scent, excellent blending - yes, repeating myself - but it is. If you like Black Opium, Prada Candy, or any pretty Vanillas, like TF Vanille Tobacco, or Xerjoff Bouquet Ideale, give this a try. You really cannot spoil anything. Very good perfume 👍

I have bought Black Phantom, and while the smell is amazing, the projection and longevity are subpar. So I wanted to order this as well, since it's voted as a veritable Beast Mode fragrance. It arrived in 2-3 days in Romania. The smell is great, similar to Black Phantom, almost the same if you go by memory. Black Phantom is a little bit more masculine, and the coffee is stronger in it, like the taste of a ristretto vs the taste of an americano. Insomnia is a little bit sweeter, and definitely perfectly unisex (Black phantom is 55% male, 45% female). Quality is really good, unexpected from a new Bulgarian niche house. Versatility is ... well, it depends how often you go on dates or you want to smell sexy. Can easily be worn at night every season. In terms of projection and longevity, this is better than Black Phantom, but not really as good as the votes here reflect. Honestly, I don't know what people are voting as eternal/enormous nowadays, do they use like 30 sprays? It seems common sense to me that an eternal/enormour fragrance is something like Baccarat Rouge Extrait, which fills any room with a max of 5 sprays. Scent: 4.5/5 (Black Phantom 5/5) Projection 3/5 (BP 2/5) Longevity: 3.5/5 (BP 2/5)

I ordered this and never received my bottle. Based on the other reviews here i recommend holding off on buying this. I'm so disappointed. EDIT: I had my doubts because there were no replies to any of my e-mails reaching out for help and also no help on the website's chat service. However, I retract my statement about holding off on buying because I finally did get a response from the company today. They were helpful and provided new tracking information. EDIT #2: Got mine today! I'm excited to wear this for fall its sweet, deep, cozy, boozy with a woody, patch, and ylang-ylang dry down. The top notes I can only distinguish the "rum" which smells more to me like cognac or bourbon but its delicious the chocolate, caramel, and coffee are blended into one dark delicious accord to me and my nose. Also, the bottle is beautiful and the juice is beautiful too, clear glass with the juice itself being a dark purple brown almost black.

It smells like a mocha/vanilla latte was stored in a sandalwood rum barrel. The ylang ylang comes across a bit sour at the beginning of the scent for me, but it's a rich ylang that adds something to it, not discordant at all. The patchouli and cedar give it a bit of a peppery hit every once in a while. It ends with a heavy sandalwood after about 6-7 hours and stays that way until it wears off. That's how it smells to my nose. I'm not sure if it's a copy of Black Phantom, because they were being concocted at the same time, but everyone will have their own idea as to that. This is an extrait, thus it doesn't project as much on me but it's eternal on my skin. The juice looks black in the bottle, but in the light it's a dark purple and it does stain light clothing. Gorgeous sweater weather fragrance, although I'll wear it when I get the urge. You can't beat the price, quality is great.
