by Faviol Seferi
Insomnia by Faviol Seferi is a bold, dark gourmand with a lush, velvety texture that blends sweet caramel, rich rum, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee with deep woody and earthy base notes. It carries strong, long-lasting projection and is typically worn during colder months or at night, with many users describing it as ideal for evening outings, dates, or clubbing. The fragrance is largely unisex, though some reviewers note a slightly more feminine or seductive character due to the ylang-ylang and vanilla elements. While several comparisons are made to Black Phantom by Kilian, it's described not as a direct clone but as a very similar in character — with a more pronounced woody and earthy dry-down and slightly better longevity in many cases. Though some note a synthetic or inorganic quality in the opening, most agree the composition is well-balanced, smooth, and complex with a creamy, deep, and intoxicating feel. The perfume is universally praised for its performance and value, especially given the price point, which is seen as significantly lower than similar niche offerings.
