Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Afgano Extrait
Black Afgano is an icon for a reason, but it's not for the faint of heart. This divisive beast is either a challenging masterpiece of smoky oud and rich resins or an offensive, overpowering mess. You'll either love its dark, narcotic depths or hate its intensity. Sample before committing.

Our Verdict - No 118 Black Afgano Extrait
Nasomatto's Black Afgano is a cult niche fragrance built to smell like hashish smoke, and this dupe reproduces that dark, resinous character closely - it's a touch less dense than the original but keeps the same unmistakable green-cannabis-and-oud mood.

No 118 Black Afgano

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A dense, resinous cannabis-and-oud composition suits cold weather, where its intensity feels grounded rather than overwhelming.
