    Real talk

    The opening tobacco hits rough before it mellows. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Some people want their fragrance to agree with them. This one doesn't, and that's why it works.Noctem Arabs
    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
