What do reviewers say about Agarbathi and Black Afgano?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Agarbathi doesn't, it arrives and stays, quiet as the person wearing it. The incense and suede combination isn't trendy or safe.Agarbathi
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
