Libra Elixir

This stuff is spot on. I owned Kilian Black Phantom and paid way too much for it. I owned this one first.. I was getting the same performance from both so I decided to just sell my Kilian and keep this. Its hard to find a clone of Black Phantom because its such a unique fragrance.. but Oakcha pulled it off.

For me, it's all sandalwood. I didn't smell the almond, the rum is very VERY subtle and like only the bad part of rum smell. It's a fragrance that I expect an old men to wear, a grandfather maybe, and I say this not in a bad way. Is just a perfume that only a grandpa will rock. I will definitely not wear this, I blind buy it so it's totally a miss. I was expecting something else entirely, probably will gift it.

THis is a strange one. The first 15 minutes is this delicious chocolatey, coffee-like scent...but then it dries down to a smelly, sweaty-man scent...or like a wet dog almost....not appealing!

i've never smelled black phantom by kilian, but i was expecting a sweet, chocolatey coffee scent based on the notes, and this is nearly the opposite of that. it is barely sweet, moreso woody and slightly powdery, even. there is something very pungent and off-putting in the opening that smells bitter and unpleasant, to the point where every time i spray this, i instantly think "i hate this." i can't quite put my finger on what it is, but it is definitely not rum, to my nose at least. after about 5 minutes, it begins to dissipate and opens up into a creamy, woody, slightly sweet almond-y scent. i get very little of the dark chocolate, caramel, or coffee in the dry down. in comparison to the scent profile of the original, it seems like this is more of an approximation than it is a 1 to 1 clone. for the price, this is acceptable, but it's definitely not anything to write home about. i'd really like to try the original fragrance now.

Kilian Black Phantom WHERE? I find Black Phantom to be a sexy fragrance that a sexy woman can wear well. This Oakcha dupe is very much masculine to me.
