    Real talk

    The animalic musk is the decision. Either it pulls you in or it doesn't, this isn't a polite fragrance, and it wasn't designed to be. What's interesting is how the oud and tobacco hold the leather.Swedish Leather
    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
