Skip the Black Phantom price tag. An Arabesque by Bharara fragrance sample gets you most of the way there.

An inspired fragrance

Think of Arabesque as Black Phantom by Kilian with the edges softened and the price cut way down.

This fragrance is the olfactory equivalent of a midnight café, starting as a dark, boozy coffee liqueur poured over a warm, salty caramel dessert. As it settles, the rich gourmand opening melts into a sophisticated, creamy embrace of sandalwood and hazelnut, wrapping you in a deeply addictive and velvety blanket. Decadent gourmand opening with boozy cognac and sweet maple syrup. Warm heart of toasted bread crust and nutty marzipan.
