What do reviewers say about Thanaya and Black Afgano?
Most leather fragrances give you leather. Thanaya gives you what's inside leather, the warmth, the animal, the thing that makes you keep coming back. The rose isn't a softening. It's a counterweight.Thanaya
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
