Black Afgano
Parfum Extrait
by Nasomatto



The Scoop
The journey down to the inky heart of Black Afgano is a scent trip only for the daring among you. If you’re a lover of light, bright and airy fragrances, then you’ll want to stop reading right about...now. Aiming to capture the qualities of hashish (without the police banging down your door), mystery and intrigue has followed this perfume since its inception. Rumors swirled that the debut of Afgano was held up for months due to the necessary procurement and smuggling of the.. eh, “raw material” (nudge nudge, wink wink). But it was definitely worth the wait. For those asking the obvious, no, it doesn’t smell exactly like burning hashish... or so we hear, of course. Black Afgano is meant to capture some of the scent qualities and all of the effects of the herb: smoky, smooth and deep; a mellow yet deep and distinct fragrance high. The black colored perfume is a study in how to arouse the effects of temporary bliss, without all the side effects. Rich and hypnotic, with dark and dangerous notes like coffee, oud, tobacco and hash, this is a beautifully relentless and utterly enveloping scent. Black Afgano is a strong smoke and incense fragrance that is surprisingly never overpowering. We can honestly say, this fragrance is dope.
Note: One bottle per customer.

I waited 2 years to try this scent. As a lover of oud, incense, and patchouli, I can say that it's quite sweet and its dusky undertones are faint. I am happy to report that it does not, as some said, smell like burning asphalt. An hour after I apply it, the oud shines through surrounded by a halo of vanilla or honey. It is quite nice though not as earthy as I expected.

I'm waiting to see f this goes soapy. I seriously hope not, because what I'm getting now makes me want to do whatever I can to get my fix--er, bottle. I put off trying this because I am generally allergic to tobacco, especially in fragrance, but so far no worries. I need this

I loved it, but it really has a polarizing effect on people. I think they either feel the same way I do or cringe when they get a whiff--not much in between.

I love this one...but understandably, not everyone does . i am a women and I don't like to wear scents that are at all sweet smelling so this one is perfect for me. it is very strong earthy, rich, and sensual scent. i put it on after a shower in the evening and by morning it has blended to sublime subtlety.....

I waited for the sample quite a while. Finally got it and......what a disappointment. I didn't get a marihuana at all, then I couldn't wash it off. Such a waist of money. I wouldn't use it ever! The worst perfume I ever tried :((((

Very intense fragrance that is best worn late Fall into Winter and early Spring. What I find best is I spray it once into the palm of my hand and using a finger, I dab some behind each ear and my neck. I rub my hands together and run them through my hair and the back of my neck. A dark, rich, smokey, fragrance, Black Afgano cannot be mistaken for any other fragrance. People won't even try and guess what it is. Living in Texas, it's a bit too strong to wear during the hotter months, it can be too heavy. Unlike many other scents, this fragrance doesn't seem to weaken during the day. It will stay the same from morning to night. I think it is worth the price because of how unique it is and because one spray is enough; I've had the same bottle for over 2 years. I keep it in its box in a cool, dark place. If you are bold and want the attention, this is for you. You WILL turn heads. I suggest getting a sample first because Black Afgano is not for everyone.

Very harsh - the bubbling asphalt description of another reviewer works. Everyone male/female thought the same. I forgot it in the drawer at work, and now the drawer smells like it. You know when you come across someone who has put on way too much Amber? This offends in the same way. Can't believe it sells out so quickly.

Ashtray. A tinge of black licorice, but mostly just ashtray. Nope, not feeling the love.

can't help but think it smells like PlayDoh, it has a dry earthy muskiness like a "sweaty bedouin," But not necessarily a bad way. In my opinion, it's very masculine, warm and cozy. like a fabric almost. It really grows on your after a while. a little goes a LONG way.

This stuff is REALLY STRONG. Just a finger dab from the sample vial is all it takes. I personally do not like it though - it's a very heavy, cloying, incense-like smell. Try a sample first.

1st time i checked this out was at barneys and i fuggin loved it . i couldnt stop smellin it and kept tellin all me friends bout it . honestly and this mite sound strange but it kinda reminds me of the skunkor action figure from heman like back in tha 80s . skunkor was a skunk and his figures special ability was it "smelled" tho it didnt smell bad like a skunk , it smelled sorta like this . dark , cold, rich but not in a chocolaty or sugary way , musky . this shet will linger on ur skin for 2 days even after shower and will stay on ur clothes for over a week . ive decided i dont like this enough to buy it cos its very strong and the drydown is too musky and old but debonair men

Bought a sample for my husband, who is a bit of a 'head' He adores it. He says it smells like a sweet hashish. All I can say with any assurance, is that it smells wonderful. I believe it may be one of those scents, where either you love it, or you hate it. I, for one, adore it

I have to say, this is ( on me at least ) the most oddly fascinating, stinkily gorgeous fragrance. It is deep, dark and oh so rich. It almost has a bullseye effect on me. The very center of my spray is beautifully vulgar, while the outermost areas are softly deeper. It's definetly a try-before-you-buy scent and I am not sure if it's fb worthy but I DO want to try a couple of the others from this line. If nothing else, it's a scent experience!

Oh my...This, I wear just for me. And as outspoken as Black Afgano is, it stays close to the skin. What I get is an attitude. Never did I expect to love this. But DO try first!

I can't image why anyone would want to smell like this. Even if I don't like a certain fragrance, I can appreciate it's composition. This is the first fragrance I can't find one thing positive to say. For me, this is just wrong.

Burnt hemp, quite simply. I really wanted to like this given the description but its appeal eludes me completely. This overpriced line leaves me completely cold.

I'm so appreciative of every comment posted but this is one scent you have to try before you'll know. It's fantastic on me and men love it! I'm always told I smell good whenever I wear Black Afgano. Use just a drop, it's powerful stuff. I wasn't sure it would work with my chemistry but I'm so glad I tried this one. Simply hot and sexy on me!

I really like this fragrance but don't smell the hash aspect on me. Instead it smells a lot like baby powder with a little bit of musk.

I guess you'll either love it or hate it. I love it. For mystical post-graduates from the school of Tantra. This is advanced and not for the meek. Like a dark cave inhabited by a Djinn.

My first thought was *ecstasy* followed quickly by *bliss*. Much to my surprise, I'm finding that I really do like smoky, strong fragrances, although I usually pick light orange blossom scents. So it is a revelation to me that I like this at all--it is dark and beautiful and wonderful. The dry-down is tempered with a powdery element on me, so it softens nicely over time. Judging by the previous comments, there is a lot to be said for personal chemistry on this one.

Comparing this to Kyoto or Hinoki is WAY off base, though I imagine that moves some units--where those are cool, woodsy, smokey and classic unisex--this is typical Nassomatto---so overpowering--and much much closer to narcotic venus and some of their other really rich scents. Almost instant headache inducer for me, which is RARE. Very powdery, kind of cashmere scent gone hippie barage, kind of a smokey rose in the drydown, but just not sophisticated. I wouldn;t wear this out for fear of making sensitive people sneeze or making people think I slept in a cab.

After reading other comments about Black Afango, I hestitated to try this fragrance. I'm glad I took the chance because for me it's a 5 star winner! Smokey, bitter, powdery, and mysterious. I've had friends give me their feedback and they like how it blends with my chemistry. If you enjoy the smell of coffee this might be the one for you. Sample first.

I need to add: couldn't figure out what the sharpness that bleeds through reminds me of, but just realized that it reminds me of fresh bubbling asphalt being laid on roads. So I ammend my original comment: burnt motor oil mixed with bubbling asphalt and the occassional surfacing of other organic material.

Love, love, love this. Strange that so many people reacted negatively. Everyone, male and female I have shared this with says it is hypnotic. I only have the sample but someone at work tried it and has ordered a bottle. I will, too, once my sample get empty. Deep, rich, masculine but I'll wear it often - maybe a bit much for daytime in close quarters but just the thing for a night out or in.

I've tried this twice now and I like it. It is a very masculine oriental fragrance that will probably work much better when the weather cools down. I think I smell birch tar frankincense, oud, a grassy patchouli, and amber. Reminds me a bit of Duro by Nasomatto but it is darker and more resinous. I smelled some hashish that smelled like this, once many years ago, but I like it despite that reference.

On my skin, this is actually offensive. In all my years of collecting, this is the worst fragrance I have ever tried. I thought it just might be my chemistry so I had some other people, both male and female, sample. Offensive on everyone. All six people washed it off.

As a woman, this scent is very strong and not quite what I would wear....but I love it! It has a very smooth deep scent. There is also a touch of sweetness to it, which I'm not sure is there because of my chemistry? I really don't like men's colognes that have a strange musk, and this does not. It is complex with out having any of the synthetic or chemical essences that I despise. I love this, and am thinking of getting a bottle for my man!

So, I just received the sample, and I must say, it does take some time for one to get use to. It took me a couple of whiffs before I could smell the "hashly" odor, and it is bitter with an incredible kick. However, I feel that only a select few could actually rock this fragrance as it has a personality of its own. For those who on the border of mans-man, prep, and with a kick of femininity, this is the fragrance for you. I personally think that it is nice, but definitely try the sample first as the amount of money you would pay for this to end up not liking it, is simply not worth it.

This scent will not appeal to the masses, not everyone enjoys aoud scents. I found this well blended given the notes. There is a bitterness to it. I'm not sure if that's attributed to the coffee or aoud. Slightly smoky as well with the slightest hint of incense. The 30ml bottles would last a lifetime. It is reminiscent of Ava Luxe Shisha but much better blended overall.
