What do reviewers say about Black Afgano and Empiryan?
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
Empiryan is an assertive extrait that does not whisper. The tobacco and cypriol opening makes a statement, and the vanilla-labanum base ensures you will be noticed long after you have left the room.Empiryan
