🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Unforgettable comes as a 50 ml eau de parfum, built at roughly 20% fragrance oil. It costs €25, same as every scent we make regardless of the original behind it. Free shipping applies from €49, and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

The real Paco Rabanne Phantom, the original this dupe is built from, is sold as an eau de toilette. We made Unforgettable as an eau de parfum instead, so it sits heavier than a typical eau de cologne and holds the smoky lavender longer, without going as far as an extrait de parfum.

Longevity is 6 to 8 hours with strong initial sillage. French fragrance oils, hand filled in small batches, vegan throughout, and priced to stay affordable rather than luxury. Compared with lighter fragrances, this one holds up longer without a top-up. You have 15 days to exchange it if it isn't right for you.

NOTES

Top notes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Unforgettable is our perfume dupe of Phantom by Paco Rabanne, inspired by a fragrance men already know and want to wear every day. It opens on lavender, lemon zest and Amalfi lemon, moves into a smoky lavender heart with earthy notes, apple and patchouli, and settles into vanilla, lavender and vetiver.

Lavender runs through every stage here, tying the whole aromatic accord together, and up close it smells like the original. The first half hour reads sharp and citrusy, then the smoke, earthy notes and heart come forward (some lists call this stage middle notes) and the fragrance turns drier and warmer. Projection is strongest early on and settles close to the skin after a couple of hours, though the trail is still there well into the evening. The vanilla base makes the last hours softer than the sharp, intense opening, and it's a fragrance people describe in reviews as more intense than most niche perfumes at this price. Fragrance fans who already own other smoky fragrances tend to reach for this one first, ahead of most aromatic fragrances on the shelf.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Unforgettable

Inspired by: Phantom, Paco Rabanne

Unforgettable works best from autumn into winter, when the smoky lavender heart has something cool to lean against. In summer the fresher top keeps it wearable, just go lighter with the spray.

It moves easily from the office into the evening, so one bottle covers most of the day. It's a masculine fragrance, made for him rather than marketed as unisex or for her, close to how the original is sold, though plenty of women wear it too and a review or two even calls it close to unisex on the right skin.

Choose our Inspiration

Paco Rabanne is a French fashion house founded by the Spanish-born designer of the same name, and lately the brand has started going by Rabanne alone. Phantom launched in 2021 as one of its newer designer fragrances, built around an aromatic, smoky lavender accord and sold in an app-connected bottle that got almost as much attention as the scent itself.

People still ask for it as Paco Rabanne Phantom, and that's the fragrance most perfume dupes on the market, ours included, are chasing. It sits alongside the bigger names in designer and niche perfumes, and most every review of the original mentions that same smoky lavender opening.

Why choose us?

Unforgettable is our alternative to Phantom by Paco Rabanne, not a straight clone but our own blend, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches, not sold under any license from the original house.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, because that's where this smoky lavender composition holds up best over a full day. If it doesn't smell similar to what you expected, send it back within 15 days and we'll sort an exchange.
