Phantom Deodorant Stick 75ml
The cheapest way to wear this scent all week is Rabanne Phantom Deodorant Stick 75ml, used in the morning and then forgotten about.
The scent is a simple one and none the worse for it. Lavender does the work, herbal and cool with the slightly soapy quality that makes it the oldest material in men's perfumery. Lemon brightens the top for a few minutes, sharp and clean. Vanilla underneath takes the edge off both, warm and lightly sweet, which is the trick that makes Phantom modern rather than traditional.
Three materials and no development, so what you smell when you apply it in the morning is what you smell at lunchtime. In a deodorant that is an advantage. The product has one job, it does that job quietly, and the fragrance comes along as a bonus rather than as the main event of the morning.
It is worth being clear about what this is not. It will not project, it will not last on fabric, and it is not a replacement for the bottle of eau de toilette. What it will do is leave skin smelling of the scent under a shirt for a full day, which is all most people want from a deodorant. Seventy five millilitres lasts for months, and the stick format means nothing is wasted in the air. It is a men's product, credited to Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Loc Dong, and it is the obvious thing to leave in a locker or a holdall while the bottle stays at home.
Rabanne's scents are made by Puig of Spain, which built the perfume arm in 1968 and had bought the house outright by 1987. The label itself began in Paris with a 1966 collection by the designer who gave it his name.
