Perfume Parlour Pashtun Sheer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Pashtun Sheer opens with Green, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Perfume Parlour's Pashtun Sheer carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A budget interpretation of Sospiro's Laylati (Afgano Puro), the so-called 'Black Afgano lite'. The dark, smoky cedar-patchouli-tobacco core comes through, but this dupe is smoother and less dense than the niche original, trading some of Laylati's spiritual, resinous depth for a cleaner, more wearable woody-aromatic.

About

Pashtun Sheer opens with a flick of green freshness before plunging into its dark heart: earthy patchouli and dry Virginia cedar, the smoky-woody spine that earned Sospiro's Laylati its 'Black Afgano lite' nickname. The drydown deepens with tobacco, a touch of vanilla and warm musk, conjuring the mystical, nocturnal mood of the original. Where Laylati wears as a dense, resinous, almost spiritual cloud with monstrous longevity, this dupe renders the idea a shade lighter and smoother - the smoke softer, the woods cleaner, the whole thing easier to wear casually. Longevity is good but trimmed against the original's near-all-day staying power. A brooding, masculine-leaning unisex scent for autumn and winter evenings and formal nights.
