What do reviewers say about London and Black Afgano?
Some leather fragrances are just an idea of leather. London commits. The leather breathes here, it has structure. And the raspberry in the heart? It's the fruit that ripened on the vine, not the jam.London
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
