Although i dont know if its been reformulated or what but the sillage isnt as good as people are saying, not that its a big deal. After reading so many reviews about the uniqueness and pungency of this fragrance, I had braced myself for something powerful.

Great for evening wear and for me the image of reading a book late evening infront of a crackling fireplace come to mind as the occasion for wearing this. It is not the same but similar, it’s like Black Orchid infused in oud minus vanilla and floral notes. Is Black Afgano the perfume equivalent of a Porsche’s penis extension symbolism for g There is a clean powder in the base, not unlike the oud in MFK's Oud Satin Mood (thankfully that's where the comparisons begin and end).Then the sweetness of the resins comes through and a sort of boozy note that combined with the sweetness of the resins comes through as a sweet white wine accord like Moscato or maybe a Cognac. Unfortunately in the dry down it starts to smell unpleasant to my nose which put me off of using the perfume often.

I imagine BA was groundbreaking and challenging/polarizing when it dropped in 2009, but fragrances have come a ways. The medicinal nature of the oud, and the manner with which it combines with the amber, incense, and slightly honeyed undertones of the labdanum, feel very close as well. Unii îl pot găsi interesant, dar, prefer un Encre Noire Extreme dacă vreau ierburi, cu tentă de fum.A wholly conventional, if potent and super-rich, oriental — and hardly the dangerous, completely daring, hardcore fragrance that I had expected. It's deep and resinous, with a unique sour cannabis note that dries down into a sweet oud element that lasts for a full day, and into the next. I don't know maybe it was Corona madness lol, but next year when I smelled it again, I was like "how it in the hell did I ever like this perfume?
