Nasomatto Black Afgano Eau de Perfume - 30 ml

Product Information

There’s just enough of a cannabis accord and a resinous amber edge that gives me chilly-and-rainy-Tokyo-evening-in-November gentleman vibes. When I wear this I'd be afraid to step into a church save myself from speaking in tongues and combusting into flames. The fragrance’s description (“smuggled” ingredients, harsh herbs, marijuana-as-incense) conjures wild thoughts yet Black Afgano’s dark brown juice is syrupy and the fragrance opens with strong aromas of oud and musk.

Nasomatto Black Afghan is a unisex fragrance from the Woody Aromatic fragrance family, created by Alessandro Gualtieri.Hashish is a Cannabis product produced from resinous material of the Cannabis plant and that is one of the main accords and the top note and it’s definitely there. A greenness then comes to the fore, surprisingly dewy for a moment in time, before becoming dry and herbal.

the incense note, to me, smells more like japanese hinoki incense, this isn't a stereotypical nag champa/pot-smoke accord the note list may suggest. Both are elegant , masculine , addictive and potent when they are applied directly to the fabrics and clothes. I absolutely enjoyed wearing it, and I’m pleased I have an alternative to the rare, discontinued, vintage M7 which actually lasts on my skin. Maybe it's more like enjoying fine scotch even though it tastes awful by any metric other than "good scotch".Also, people who dislike cumin (which I find in most amber heavy fragrances) will definitely enjoy this! something about the balancing of the different notes and accords here just brings a smile on my face; reminding me of waking up after a night of drinking, and lighting some incense in the bedroom to mask the smell of something we may or may not have taken (its still ilegal in my home country) mixed in with the musky and musty smell of the previous evening’s steady night cap. Funny thing: people say it is a little animalic, in fact, in turns a little bit towards the smell of saliva after 4/5 hours (even though only on my wrists, weird), not unpleasant, but not for everyone if it does happen to you too. There are differences, however: M7 opens with herbal lavender, juicy bergamot, and a powerful element of cardamom; it lacks even a drop of coffee, something which is quite robust in Black Afgano’s start.

Nasomatto produces an intoxicating and addictive effect with its combination of resinous notes and precious woods. is quite a feat to pull, and I don't begrudge any of its admirers - which is more than I can say about anyone who thinks they're being clever or edgy by liking Seminalis or Stercus. Over time, a bit of cannabis comes through but the oud, incense, and amber remain the dominant notes for me. Alesandro Gualtiéri succeeds in taking us on a journey where the lingering notes of cannabis mingle with the freshness of green notes in the top; tobacco and coffee in the heart; resins, woody notes of oud and incense in the bottom. As a purely 'scientific experiment', take a small piece of hashish, put it on a pin head, then put a small flame to it for 3-5 seconds, crumble the hashish in your fingers and voila you can now smell the cannabis note of Black Afgano in the air and on your fingers.Gift the unisex perfumes gift set to both men and women on their VIP function gift or any other occasion. For the obscure reference point, there is a subcontinental beverage made mostly to get high from cannabis leaves.
