Black Afgano

Black Afgano

I bought this because I have read so many positive reviews, but this was just awful. Smells like the tar scraped out of an old bong.

Very warm juicy tropical with whiffs of cannabis. Worth a try if you’re not turned off by notes of weed. Love it!

Surprised at this scent, very unique and seems to last awhile too. Its fruity and floral to me, but not in the way you would expect.

To me it smells like a muffled scream or a suit attire at a rave. Overall what I'm saying is it smells like something very strong is being held back.

This was recommended by the Perfume Guy as one of the best cannabis-inspired scents. Unfortunately, on my skin, it translates almost entirely as synthetic oud—sharp, smoky, and overwhelming with no animal funk at all. Honestly, it might as well be Stercus, another oud-heavy Alessandro Gualtieri fragrance. Maybe I’m just especially sensitive to oud, but here it feels overbearing and clumsily drowns out any nuance the fragrance might have had. I want to love Gualtieri, but I find that his scents, other than Megamare and Sadanoso, either deliver far less than they promise or too much of one note.

Despite the name, this is predominantly an oud-based scent. Oud, benzoin, and a little cannabis and incense are what I most pick up on. It's an interesting fragrance. Definitely strong, so be mindful of that, but the funkiness eventually fades down to a surprisingly mild, pleasant but kind of generic oud. It's not as difficult to wear as you might fear, but it's also not as special as the hype makes it out to be. This perfumer uses a similar base in a few of his fragrances, so if you're familiar with the Nasomatto and Orto Parisi lines, it'll smell familiar. It's potent, intriguing and high quality, but ultimately not for me.

a wonderful dark scent with a nice longevity. I would recommend this to anyone.

A good solid performer. A little goes a long way.
