What do reviewers say about Sir and Black Afgano?
Not the scent that announces itself. The one that stays after you forget you're wearing it. The patchouli does the heavy lifting, yes, but the mace is the tell.Sir
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
