Launched in 2009 by Nasomatto and crafted by Alessandro Gualtieri, Black Afgano is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that has become both celebrated and controversial. It's known for its bold combination of smoky tobacco, herbaceous green notes, and rich woody accords, which together evoke the mysterious charm of oud and incense. Despite persistent rumors within enthusiast circles suggesting it contains actual cannabis extract, Black Afgano achieves its distinctive profile through clever use of balsamic tobacco and herbal nuances. This has only fueled its cult status, making it a polarizing scent that continues to intrigue and divide.

Application Tips
Black Afgano is a scent that evolves over time. Apply it in thin layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually — starting from the herbaceous top to the deep woody base. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can also add intrigue to any outfit, making it perfect for those who appreciate a nuanced fragrance.
