What do reviewers say about Vici and Black Afgano?
The aldehydic opening might feel confrontational at first. But stay with it. The osmanthus and celery seed combination is unusual, almost herbaceous, and the drydown earns the name Vici carries.Vici
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
