    Real talk

    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
    That spearmint opening is the whole conversation. It's not icy, it's sweet, fruity, disarming. Then the leather arrives and the mood shifts entirely. You realize this isn't a daytime scent at all.III
