What do reviewers say about Black Afgano and Dark Forest?
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
The name lies. Dark Forest suggests shadows and mystery, but it's actually a fresh, clean bergamot-vanilla with ginger cutting through the sweetness. Don't trust the label, trust your nose.Dark Forest
