What do reviewers say about Black Afgano and Arso?
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
Arso doesn't shift. It holds. From the first spray to the quiet drydown, smoke stays dominant, pine resin, cedar, leather. The fragrance does the work.Arso
