    Real talk

    This isn't polite fragrance-making. Veles opens with honey's warmth, then goes where it wants, smoke, tar, leather. The kind of scent that takes up space and stays there.Veles
    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
