What do reviewers say about Sultan Noir and Afshan?
The aldehydic opening is love-it-or-leave-it, but that champagne sparkle is exactly what makes a 1980 composition feel alive. Once the florals warm up, you're in it for the long haul.Sultan Noir
Rasasi built this to cut through. The opening is assertive, saffron arriving sharp and slightly metallic, bright enough to catch you off guard. It's a first impression that doesn't apologize.Afshan
