What do reviewers say about Black Afgano and Year of Zayed – Zayed the Benevolent?
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
Boldness runs through this one like a dark thread through gold cloth. The tobacco doesn't whisper, it commands. For anyone who's ever wanted a fragrance that feels like consequence, like legacy.Year of Zayed – Zayed the Benevolent
