Oh my god, what a beauty this perfume is, literally Black Afgano in 100ml. I absolutely adore it.
I couldn’t agree more with R. de Lioncourt: this fragrance smells like several Arab perfumes selling for $20-30. It’s ridiculous how so-called ‘experts’ dismiss a perfume just because it’s Arab, only to value it at its highest when it comes in a fancy bottle for $300.
I’m seeing similarities with many perfumes that aren’t a coincidence. There’s a very reasonable resemblance here to Terroni by Orto Parisi. Also, Black Caviar is similar to Acqua Di Sale by Profumum Roma, Imperium like Ani/Hacivat, and Trajan like Baccarat Rouge 540… we’ll see more once I finish the discovery set. If this cost $40 and were Arab or from a cheap house, everyone would call them ‘clones,’ but this comes in a nice bottle and costs $220-350. Well, with this ‘inspiration’ from Terroni, which has a smoky base, it almost resembles Cuorium after a while. Plus, it’s missing that earthy touch, that dry volcanic soil vibe. That’s about it. It doesn’t add anything beyond what the aforementioned have already done. Unfortunately, the performance doesn’t stand out, as is usually the case. It’s not bad, but for a niche perfume, I demand more projection and sillage. I’d also ask for more originality.
It’s a dry, mysterious, smoky scent. More of a night than day fragrance, formal; it’s not everyone’s cup of tea at first and might be hard to wear. In any case, it’s a very elegant and unique aroma.
What a rich scent! A masculine, woody, and slightly smoky perfume. Clearly meant for cool days and nighttime use, with that sweet touch in the dry down. Longevity: 7 hours. Projection: 1 hour. The only thing working against it is the price. Rating: 8.8/10.
I bought a decant of this perfume, the second from this house I know. A good 10ml decant to use without restrictions for at least 10 times. 1. It has resins right from the opening and throughout the entire evolution. 2. It smells totally ambered. 3. From the start, there are woody nuances, sometimes very dry, and other times a leather note like Gucci Guilty Absolute, though not as intense. 4. In my opinion, the performance is poor: weak projection (almost nothing, very intimate, a good option if you like that) and short longevity. After 4-5 hours, you only smell a sweet and ‘gasoline-like’ scent right on the skin. Definitely not making it to my wishlist.
