    Real talk

    The opening pulls you in or pushes you out, there's no middle ground. Saffron and rum make an entrance. Bold. Unapologetic. If that sounds like too much, this isn't for you.Madness
    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
