What do reviewers say about Hardkor and Black Afgano?
Here's the thing about Hardkor: it doesn't wait for you to decide if you like it. The tropical sweetness lands first, bold, sticky-sweet, almost aggressive.Hardkor
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
