What do reviewers say about Herat and Black Afgano?
Some smell incense and resins in Herat's hashish note. Others perceive something closer to actual sticky green. Either way, this fragrance isn't designed for the faint of heart.Herat
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
