What do reviewers say about Arso and Black Afgano?
Arso doesn't shift. It holds. From the first spray to the quiet drydown, smoke stays dominant, pine resin, cedar, leather. The fragrance does the work.Arso
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
