What do reviewers say about Unguentum and Black Afgano?
Unguentum doesn't play it safe. Luca Maffei built this around tobacco, saffron, and honey, a Roman spice-trade fantasy with real weight. Sweet enough to draw someone in.Unguentum
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
