What do reviewers say about Coeur de Musc and Black Afgano?
Animalic musk gets a bad reputation. But honey grounds it, amber warms it, leaving the skin-scent you want to press your nose into. The combination creates something that feels alive rather than.Coeur de Musc
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
