    What do reviewers say about Black Afgano and Oud Alshain?

    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
    This is oud that doesn't apologize. If you've tried elegant, polite ouds and wanted something with more nerve, this is the one. The animalic edge isn't a flaw. It's the point.Oud Alshain
