Kilian Black Phantom Memento Mori Shower Gel

What it is: A shower gel that is the first layer of your perfuming ritual, with its light yet effective lathering.

Fragrance story: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. Black Phantom Memento Mori reveals its hidden treasures to the curious nose in waves. Rum accord from Martinique, akin to pirate waters, spikes the scent of strong coffee at its heart, balanced by vetiver essence. A deadly bite of cyanide accord hides menacingly, like the smile from death itself. Smile back as sugarcane and dark, creamy sandalwood assure a trying journey holds a sweet reward. The fragrance is true to itself and when you combine a three-part layering ritual, the perfume trail is profound, prolonged and absolutely pitch perfect.
