What do reviewers say about Vibrant and Black Afgano?
The citrus isn't window dressing. It opens true. But once the leather takes over, Vibrant stops pretending to be delicate. If bold, smoky warmth is what you're after, this earns its name.Vibrant
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
