    Real talk

    Bold, smoky, and unapologetic. The tobacco and oud don't whisper. You wear this when you want the room to know you're there, not to be polite about it.Berlin Soul
    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
