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 - Mercedes-Benz Air EDP
Don't bother with this one, mates. It's so faint, you'll be wondering if you even sprayed anything. Mercedes-Benz Air is the olfactory equivalent of white noise, and just as forgettable.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Afgano

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its nuclear performance and intense, dark accords, Black Afgano is far too potent for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for special occasions and daring date nights, where its luxurious, bold presence can make a strong statement without overwhelming a confined space.

Mercedes-Benz Air

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Given its utterly minimal projection and longevity, this might just pass in a very subdued office setting. Otherwise, it's suitable for casual wear or sport where you don't want anyone to actually notice your fragrance and it won't offend. It's too weak for any situation where you want to make an impression.
