Paco Rabanne Phantom FIRST IMPRESSIONS + Giveaway - Super Sweet Cologne

[@TheFNillest]

I’m 26 and I like it. The bottle is definitely unique and stands out in my collection. It’s not too sweet either

[@BrEaNn804]

i liked it too. but to each their own i suppose haha.

[@doobiemaster2]

Im 26 also, and I completely agree wit you

[@RameezRazaRiaz99]

One thing I like about Paco rabanne is that they always have something unique in store for designing their bottles. It’s like a break from the monotony of all the square or round glass bottles out there.

[@neverpointnever]

ya agreed. each of their bottles seem to be quite unique which i think is cool

[@CeeStyleDj]

I never understand when people complain about something being unique. So many people want to live in a cookie cutter world.

[@Henybx90]

I respect that you bought the bottle on your own and didnt take the company offer. I love and hate the bottle

[@rudyescobar7071]

For as goofy and fun as the fragrance community CAN be, I'm not gonna hate on a bottle that looks like a robot.

[@veelash3505]

Me too. I bought it because it's a robot. Cute little thing for the whole family to look at. Perfume is just not perfume, sometimes, it's more than just the fragrance.

[@nando2853]

@@veelash3505 yeah it looks awesome and unique, just like spicebomb

[@stathis301]

Ash is my favourite fragrance reviewer but I need to disagree with him on that. I absolutely love Phantom and I am starting saving money to purchase ASAP. Go ROBOT!!! To me, it's a combination of Le Male, Invictus and Eros. I am in LOVE

[@shaeidpatwary433]

Those are my 3 favorite colognes combined! And I just purchased it. At first, it did feel a little weird.. I wasn’t too sure - but then women started to compliment me so much. I was so amazed! I had to get use to the smell, and honestly during summer times - it just intensifies and makes me feel amazing 🔥

[@marufrafique6298]

True, it's not like other fragrance, it's kinda unique, other fragrance has common smell .. when u smell u know what people are wearing, but this , is different, people will wonder what were u wearing... But it smell kinda chocolate greedy by montale. i own phantom and i like it so much 💞 i wear it daily..

[@stathis301]

@@marufrafique6298 yeah plus it contains lots of lavender, which I love

[@Detman101]

And THAT is the exact reason I ordered a decant of it! It's the mix of a few of my favorites in one bottle! Now, I've found a clone that doesn't have the "DIRT" note in it...an improvement on the original! That's the one I'm buying backup FULL bottles of!

[@lgareyebanz4188]

This dude was being an extreme hater, seems like he doesn’t know how to have fun. was really hating on how a bottle looks

[@nevbot0110]

I kind of understand why ppl are hating on the robot but imo it’s so cool, it’s one of the things that sold me, i just think it’s super unique and not just some boring bottle.

[@MoahGentle]

I have a feeling this might become successful, just like 1 Million or Invictus or some other PR frags, even if mainly for younger peeps. I'll surely sample it because the notes seem interesting.

[@constrictor027]

I’m in my late 40’s and I like it. I think the scent is great. I’m sure I’ll keep the bottle indefinitely once it’s empty. I just received my bottle today. The nfc tag didn’t work with my iPhone 13 max.

[@RockSClone]

“Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!” Lost in Space

[@ASJ..]

as a fragrance collector and fragrance bottle lover. I freaking think the Robot bottle is Awesome. not so much the ability to have it in a selfie but the bottle is super hip

[@Detman101]

It reminds me of all the cool fragrance bottles my dad had in his collection in the 70s when I was a kid growing up. I used to go over to his house and look at his cologne collection on his bookshelf in his livingroom and just marvel at all the cool shaped bottles. There were horses, candle shaped bottles, seashell shaped bottles, car shaped bottles, everything!! They had such cool bottle shapes back in the day.

[@lengendaryleo3578]

Hey Dawn. How are you doin?

[@doctordreday22]

I'd like to see you do a full review. I didn't find it overwhelming sweet. Although, my first impression is during fall. I love the lemon zest and lavender somewhat grassy opening. The vanilla is more noticeable for me from early dry down till the end.

[@Frankie343]

I actually like the bottle. I want to try this fragrance

All I heard after you pulled the robot out of the box was “ Happy Birthday Pauly! Happy Birthday Pauly!”

[@fess04]

i think you hosed your wrist with a really strong fragrance there. im getting CH Bad Boy edt vibes with this. i think its amazing if you DONT over spray. the dry down is smooth and i really like this fragrance . its bright and gets a bit of a Layton vibe too. ive gotten compliments by NOT hosing my self with this fragrance. im older and when worn tastefully with a light trigger finger its a memorable fragrance. It seemed to me like you were ready to not take it seriously before you sprayed. just my intuition and i love your channel generally. maybe the packaging is more divisive than the fragrance itself.

[@ChilledShark]

I tried it in an Airport recently. Smells kinda like a sweeter and darker CH Men Privé

@@musicformer-electronicmusi1596 okay 🤡 just keep believing thing you hear instead of using your brain. There have been at least 21 people that agree with my assessment but you feel the need to be "that guy"

[@musicformer-electronicmusi1596]

All previous Gents Scents videos talking about slipcovers: If it has a slip cover it's a fake! Paco Rabanne: Let's give it a slipcover!

[@DarlingNikki2]

I noticed that, too lol. In fact, I rewatched that video the other day, the one where he bought those fake scents from Wish.com and the one for Aventus had a horrible slipcover. He mentioned legit fragrances don't have slipcovers, so yeah, obviously that's been changed for some reason.

[@abboed.4076]

I'm (almost) 50 and bought a fragrance at a local fragrance store a few weeks ago. In the bag was a tester with PR Phantom. Today I went back in order to buy, no surprise, a fragrance and just looked which tester came with it this time. You'd probably guess it, again PR Phantom. The compliment factor could be they think I'm much younger. 🐥

[@InceptusPrime]

I’m 41 and I just popped on the sample. It is definitely fresh and sweet but it’s fairly mellow and I like it. Don’t know that I will buy it though. I like wood notes, leather, musk and spice usually. A lot more subdued than 1million original and Parfum. Much more palatable than some other sweet fragrances for me.

[@Dangler83]

Very sweet, a bit more that Invictus, definitely for a fun night out. Not for the office or a professional setting. And too much can be headache inducing.

[@kellyoneal1675]

Thanks for this very useful review.

[@TERRYCORFU2]

Like the fragrance loads.I think the bottle has the intended effect of standing out and I quite like it.Great longevity and scent..

[@superbee7936]

I find the vanilla thing, in any fragrance, is more of a young people thing. It is tonsweet and soft for a real adult. This bottle drew my attention and i gave it a shot to smell it on my wrist. The opening to me is a blend of coconut and drop (dutch sauer/bitter candy) but it surprised me as a fresh opening. Later on it stabilized to a soft steady smell, but luckily not to vanillish. So i made the decision as an young 53 year old to buy this one before the whole world smells like 1 million did.. Same with Sauvage, all hyped up because of the Johnny Depp commercial. Maybe i am one of the few who dares to say it smells like toiler freshner... Thats what i used it for actually

[@darkdakota6251]

Why is everyone hating on the robot? I think it's great that Paco Rabanne is infusing a bit of fun into the fragrance industry. Why so serious?

[@DarlingNikki2]

People in the frag comm seem to like to complain lol. They complain if a fragrance is too mass appealing and then when something unique comes out it's too weird. They complain about reviewers being paid shills, complain about them dropping their own fragrance, complain about their overall personalities...just whine, whine, whine.
