What do reviewers say about This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4 and Black Afgano?
This one divides people on the sweetness. Some catch a cola-note from the benzoin and tonka interplay, warm, almost gourmand. Others get the herb first, the bitter edge that artemisia brings.This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4
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
