Yes. French Avenue Spectre Wraith is the one we know of.

No. A dupe aims for the same smell, but it uses a different formula.
Cheaper ingredients usually show in the opening, and in how long it lasts. That is why we say how each one differs, instead of giving a match score.
Dark rum-soaked chocolate with coffee beans and smoky wood It opens on Rum.
Black Phantom opens with a rich, almost edible chocolate note blended with dark rum. It smells like walking into a dessert bar at midnight. The coffee adds bitterness that keeps it from being sickly sweet. As the heart develops, the sugar cane and almond milk create a creamy, gourmand quality. The dry down brings in vetiver and sandalwood — earthy and woody enough to give it structure. This is not a safe fragrance. It is loud, sweet, and polarizing. Best for cold evenings when you want to make a statement.
