What do reviewers say about Diamond Of Velvet and Black Afgano?
This fragrance asks you to decide what you think about peach and leather together. The saffron makes it warm. The birch tar makes it smoky. Some find the combo intoxicating. Others find it jarring.Diamond Of Velvet
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
