What it is: A woodsy, refillable scent in a bottle with distinctive black lacquer, engraved on each side with a representation of the Achilles shield.

Fragrance story: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. Black Phantom MEMENTO MORI, created by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, reveals its hidden treasures to the curious nose in waves. Rum accord from Martinique, akin to pirates' water, 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 sugar cane and dark, creamy sandalwood assures a trying journey holds a sweet reward.

Notes: Rum, coffee, cyanide.
