Fantômas was the ruthless and elusive antihero of a series of blockbuster French crime novels in the early 20th century. Sophisticated and sadistic, the villain was a chameleon who always got the better of his enemies. The extrait de parfum named for him follows in his enigmatic footsteps, a smooth, thick melon and cashmeran blend that is simultaneously soothing and sinister. Jelly beans made from plastic? Or the smell of the rubber gloves on the hands about to squeeze the air from your throat? You decide — if you live long enough.
