What do reviewers say about Black Powder and Black Afgano?
Black Powder earns its reputation through contrast. The fruit up front is bold, almost defiant, then suede and tobacco take the wheel and don't let go.Black Powder
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
