Black Phantom vs. Mentor
Is Black Phantom better than Mentor?
Black Phantom wraps its sweet coffee and rose heart in honeyed rum, delivering a plush edible warmth that sits close to the skin. Mentor bursts with oud, blackcurrant and amber, projecting a bold resinous trail that fills a room. If you want a quieter rose driven dessert, Black Phantom wins; if you need a louder amber oud statement, go Mentor.
Pick Black Phantom if you crave a rose heavy, honey sweet dessert scent that stays close to the skin instead of projecting loudly.
Pick Mentor if you want an amber oud, blackcurrant bright fragrance with strong sillage and a higher rating that commands attention across the room.

Sweet enough to flirt. Resinous enough to mean it. The plum and caramel don't apologize for being delicious, the oud and sandalwood underneath make sure you remember it.Mentor
