What do reviewers say about I Am Darkness and Black Afgano?
Incense fragrances divide people. Either you want smoke and resin wrapping around you like a second skin, or you find the whole thing too much. This one splits the difference, darkness is the name.I Am Darkness
This is not a polite fragrance. Black Afgano opens harsh, almost aggressive with its hemp and green notes, then slowly reveals its smoky tobacco and coffee heart.Black Afgano
