Pointless Perfume Review: Rum

Black Phantom by Killian (https://www.bykilian.co.uk/product/19797/50809/perfume/black-phantom--memento-mori/the-cellars#/sku/115015) keep it for smell like a pirate day.
Rum and chocolate and coffee and almonds ('cyanide' in the descriptions, yo-ho-ho!) Maybe a bit of leather. The atmosphere it's trying to evoke is wonderfully expressed on the page: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. I am left wondering what an 'inescapably transient' vessel is like. Do they mean a ferry?
Anyway, this is fun, better on R than me, but still. Woeful longevity for the price, but the remnants are pleasant.
I am sticking to perfumes because people are already dismaying me and the year's not even a week old.
