What do reviewers say about Moonlight Ceremony and Black Afgano?
Birch tar and oud. A dark pact, signed in smoke. This is the fragrance for someone who isn't afraid of their own shadow, or of being seen in it. The scent carries a weight that feels both ceremonial.Moonlight Ceremony
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
