    What do reviewers say about Musk Aoud and Black Afgano?

    This is not a fragrance that asks permission. The oud doesn't whisper, the ambrette doesn't apologize, and the leather means business. It's for the wearer who wants to be remembered, not just liked.Musk Aoud
    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
