Description
Nasomatto’s Black Afgano is an intense and daring fragrance known for its blend of deeply resinous, earthy, and smoky notes that evoke a luxurious, mysterious allure. Created by Alessandro Gualtieri, this extrait de parfum was inspired by the idea of “temporary bliss,” using high-quality ingredients to replicate the sensory experience associated with cannabis without explicitly featuring it. Instead, it opens with rich oud and coffee, complemented by hints of herbal, woodsy notes, and dark resins. These layers create a profoundly unique scent profile that evolves, combining elements like frankincense, earthy patchouli, and a smoky undertone reminiscent of tobacco
.
The fragrance is described as both hypnotic and provocative, carrying a powerful presence with exceptional longevity and depth. While the scent has been compared to smoky incense and church-like aromas, its complexity gives it a unique quality, making it a fragrance that commands attention and appeals to those who appreciate dark, brooding scents. This boldness, however, may be polarizing—many fans embrace its rich, intense composition, while others feel it’s an acquired taste due to its resinous and somewhat medicinal character. Overall, Black Afgano is often viewed as a statement scent that balances smokiness and sweetness, ideal for cooler months and evening wear
