    Real talk

    The incense hits hard at first, but give it time. The apple and dates sweeten the smoke, the amber warms everything up, and the drydown is just cozy. It's woody but not rugged, sweet but not cloying.Shamal
    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
