Temporary bliss, the sweet smell of burning hashish. Nasomatto’s Black Afgano is the result of the quest to arouse the effects of bliss. A dark, hypnotic and addictive scent, this is one fragrance, that when people smell it they can’t bring themselves to stop smelling it. Black Afgano is warm and delicious, there is an intoxicating resinous depth with the gentle smokiness. The only fragrance in the range where Alessandro has listed the notes – Oud and the finest form of Hashish. We feel like the power of Black Afgano is in the simplicity of the blend – the power of clarity.

HOW IT WEARS
Black Afgano is a Parfum so it should generally give the wearer anywhere from 8 hours + longevity on the skin, because all Nasomatto fragrances are created using Parfum extract, you’ll probably be wearing this scent for at least that long. Potentially up to 24 hours, and if it’s on your clothing, even longer. A rich, long-wearing fragrance without being overwhelming, Black Afgano heroes the wonderful Oud note in all its glory – there is also a soft smoky overtone that helps to balance the sweet and rich depth of Oud on the skin.
LORE LOVES
We love this scent on just about everyone. Its simple, yet powerful combination of Oud and Hashish gives it an alluring and dreamy quality of deep, resinous sweetness that leaves an incredible trail when worn. Prepare to divulge your ‘scent’sual secret to the numerous admirers who will ask what you are wearing…
ABOUT THE BRAND
Nasomatto means ‘crazy nose’ in Italian and this range is for the daring and nonconventional. After working in commercial fragrance for many years, Alessandro longed for his own range of weird & wonderful scents that push the boundaries and become addictive, creating Nasomatto.
“I begin to make something but at a certain point, it starts making choices by itself. It is the process that interests and guides me. I like the feeling of losing control and I’m not the one making the choices. My involvement is to create something that is alive and will be able to say new things. I want my perfumes to have an intelligence of their own, not just be slaves to my meaning.” Alessandro Gualtieri

I went into Lore and was shown a least 20 different perfumes before this one hit my olfactory senses. I was install blown away. I absolutely love it. This is the one for me. If you love woody and heavy fragrances give this a try. ❤️

If like me you did your research on Black Afgano you’d have no doubt come across people saying how “This just smells like weed lol 420” I’m here to say that is only a small part of this fragrance. This is an incredible dry woods, smoky, incense, mysteriously dark fragrance with underlying hints of coffee and tobacco. Absolutely gorgeous. A true work of art.

This is an absolute sex bomb fragrance – dark, smoky, heady – it is 100% a head turner in the right way. Like the entire range there is something intoxicating about it – the slightly sweet smokey oud and of course hint of pungent narcotic make for an enticing combination. It is for those who like to smell perfume on themselves and certainly make it known to others. It is definitely unisex (I have smelt it on men and women and it was great on both) and potent just one spray is easily enough to last you a day. Mystical, powerful and alluring this is a statement perfume and a gorgeous work of art.

I don’t know what hashish is supposed to smell like but Black Afgano is truly an incredible smelling fragrance. I find it to be dark, sexy and a little mysterious. It’s also incredibly unique and people will constantly ask you what on earth you are wearing, so if that’s something you look for you must try Black Afgano. It also looks incredible on the counter with the pitch black liquid sitting in the glass underneath a giant wooden black cap ornament thing. Even if you have no intention or interest in purchasing Black Afgano, when in store next you must at least try it simply because there is nothing else like it

Ah, the mysterious black liquid! I wore this and my colleagues at work went absolutely crazy over the scent! They said they can smell me across the hallway! (That should prompt you to only use 1 spray at a time, this stuff is very concentrated!). It open up very warm and welcoming. I never know how hashish smell like, but this juice smell amazing! The base note is very alluring, smoky and mysterious, in a sexy way! This definitely stays right up there with its neighbor Baraonda!
