A radical cult, Nasomatto's Black Afgano is a dark, resinous accord: oud, cannabis, coffee and incense. Powerful, hypnotic and nocturnal.

What its composition says

  • 3 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
  • Coffee: its rarest material, which only 48 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 41.
  • Woody, gourmand and aromatic: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 4 of 6.

Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
