Great Perfume
I got a 2ml sample and have been careful not to burn through it too quickly. I absolutely adore this scent from the opening to the dry down. The sillage is enormous though.
Nasomatto Black Afgano was intended to create the effects of temporary bliss from hashish. Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, it has notes of cannabis, green, resins, woods, tobacco, coffee, oud and incense. It is a smoky, syrupy, rough and very strong fragrance.
Basenotes - "The scene: in the large aged apartment stone stairwell... as you're walking slowly upwards,the young monsieur lights his splendid pipe, charged with a delicacy from overseas, spreading it's fume through walls and doors. The café next to the bottom-floor entrance serving deserts including plum molasses paired with the incredible smell of brewing coffee. The stairwell has aged well, but has collected an, as if ancient, pungency and funkiness, bringing cellars to mind -- as you recollect yourself amidst a stumble, half way up! Intoxicating."
Basenotes - "When I first applied this it reminded me of something I’d smelled before. Make that two things: Chergui by Serge Lutens and Sahara Noir by Tom Ford. In the TF I got too strong of an Oud note that was sour. In Chergui I get a sweet honeyed tobacco but after a while it becomes too much... Black Afgano is a better combination of the two."
Fragrantica - "In the words of Johnny Nice Painter. It’s dark, very dark, no it’s black, black black black. The blackness! The end! Where are we sleeping tonight, Mother? In Father's Grave! Class in a bottle, a very black bottle"
Fragrantica - "This is a radioactive black amber. There is not a subtle scent, but for such strength it has a complexity that I don’t see with “beast mode” fragrances. It opens with a note of black licorice, fresh tobacco and earth. It starts loud, but seems to amp up even more as the amber warms up. It dries into an undefinable but fascinating aura that lasts all day and night, maybe forever on fabric."

I smelled the Black Afgano cologne for the first time while working a security assignment on South Beach at an upscale clothing boutique. When the guy walked by me, the smell took over the room. On his way out of the door I stopped him and asked him what it was that he was wearing. He told me. I ordered it right then and there from my cell phone. It was pretty expensive from the website that I bought it from. This site is cheaper. But anyway the smell makes you stand out. You have to be bold to wear this cologne. "The king of your own castle". It makes a statement that you are secure enough to wear it where ever and whenever. Who gives a damn what others think? Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep.

More than a small amount will take over a room. But it's a pretty delicious oud scent and well worth it for someone willing to be kinda bold about it.
I have a tried a variety of colognes but I will say Black Afghano is the best I've ever had. It blends in perfectly with my skin chemistry and lots of compliments with it.
Guys is it my noice or this product is over hiped, i would never use this going to office nor any puplic places. I read other comments and i am dazzled are we talking about same product, i swear what they charge for this product is not even worth 10 of that
I am in love with this smell.
Love, love, love this fragrance. Discovered it from reading a review of another scent on Fragrantica. Sooo glad the name caught my attention. Breathing this scent helps my entire aura.
It simultaneously reminds me of Serge Luten's "Chergui" and Thierry Mugler's "A-Men." At first, dark chocolate meets roasted coffee bean. Then, rank and earthy patchouli creeps in with clove. Finally, you pick up on weird herbal notes. All this being said, I would not call this a gourmand, but perhaps an extremely dark, earthy amber oriental.
