Extrait de Parfum

Dark, smoldering, damp and herbal. Black Afgano is an indisputable pillar in the gothic shadows of niche fragrance history.

Both polarizing and addictive, many find that this any-season shapshifter can pair well with formal wear or a leather jacket. It offers a world of juxtapositions. Severe and soothing. Edgy and tranquil. Organic and plastic.

Though Gualtieri notes that the composition references hashish, we find that each element - the smoke, the sweet, the green, the medicinal - is abstracted into beautiful oblivion.

This goes without saying given the darkness of the juice: do not apply to light clothing. Then again, you’re probably not headed to church if you’re wear this one anyway. Or are you?
