Perfume "Black Afghan": description of fragrance and reviews

This year, the fashion for precious oil ud has reached its peak. Therefore, the spirits of the "Black Afghan", the description of which you will read below, are as relevant today as ever. The name is not accidental. After all, ud was always the most precious incense of the Near and Middle East. It can not be denied that now the Arab culture has a considerable influence on the West. This enables European perfumers to experiment endlessly with oriental incense, creating new syncretic fragrances. And proof of this are such sales hits as "Ud Wood" by Tom Ford, "Colony Intensa" from "Aqua di Parma", "Hunja No. 77" from "Sheik", "Golden Intensivy" "Mansery" ... So the perfume Black Afgano of the famous perfume brand Nasomatto - not the only ones that have in their composition the fragrance of uda. But this perfume stands out from a number of other oriental smells, associatively referring us to the luxury of the Middle East and Afghan passions. What "catch" these spirits, you'll find out if you read the article.

History and concept of aroma

"Black Afghan" is the fragrance that was created by the Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri for the company Nasomatto in 2009. As many know, in Holland, where the Italian perfumer has visited, it is quite legal to "indulge in grass". But the spirits of the "Black Afghan" are not at all an attempt to advertise and even more to impose a consumer on drugs! In no case. Together with the "Black Afghan" a series of similar perfumes that "expand consciousness" are "Hindu Gras", "Drug Venus" and "Nasomato Absinthe". As Alessandro Gualtieri himself admitted, in the fragrance described by us he tried to discover the essence of cannabis. But a valuable black liquid is not just the essence of the aforementioned plant. It is steeply implicated in pitches, and the dominant is ud. The eastern languid sighs are softened in a European way, with strict and laconic notes of greenery. A certain solemnity gives incense. The fragrance is declared as unisex. According to the reviews, on the representatives of different sexes the spirits are revealed differently. On men appear on the foreground the smell of cigar haze and wood tar. On women, the sweetness of boa, coffee, incense is more felt.

Perfume Black Afganese: a description of the fragrance

Consider the same perfume pyramid of this unusual perfume. Those who have visited at least once in the Dutch so-called "coffee shops" may not worry: suffocating smoke, causing a headache, you will not feel. But the manufacturer claims that the fragrance is revealed through the characteristic smell of Afghan cannabis framed with fresh herbs and leaves. The core of the spirits are woody notes, tar, coffee, expensive varieties of tobacco. And finish the composition of ud and incense. The fragrance is declared as suitable for men and women. It should be worn by avant-garde natures, who have a strong character. Its resilience - as claimed by the manufacturer - is simply phenomenal. The train is very tangible, but it does not irritate. Perfume gives the impression of expensive, vintage, stylish.

Perfume pyramid "Black Afghan" according to users

It often happens that perfume novelties find a completely different response from buyers than their producer calculated. Those who have the opportunity to test the spirits of the "Black Afghan" on their skin, describe the perfume composition in a completely different way. On the edge of the pyramid there is nothing criminal. There is a slight smoke, as if the smell of burnt grass. It is blended with a woody incense that makes the overture a bit sweet. But then the ud comes and captures everything. There is an association with something insanely expensive. It is the smell of the cabinet in the palace of the sheikh, where the fragrance of soft leather furniture from precious wood mixed with the smoke of elite cigars ... And it seems that Arabian coffee with spices is often drunk here. Persistence of spirits reviews are characterized as excellent. And they are excellent. The reviews point out that these spirits are like Malevich's Black Square. The avant-gardist will see in them a masterpiece. A man without imagination is a black liquid with a sharp smell.

How does the bottle look like?

The fact that the perfume "Black Afghan" - the product is not for the mass market, says one design. A laconic square glass vial with its massive bottom reminds a glass for "shots". The bottle is covered by a massive lid of ebony as big as the bottle itself. The liquid inside is absolutely black, anthracite in color. This is somewhat frightening. Moreover, the standard bottle size is equipped with a spray gun. After "pshikaniya" a black speck appears on the skin. But if you rub the perfume, then there is no trace left. The only drawback in the design users call it a spray. The spirits are very strong, characteristic. It is important not to overdo it with them. For such spirits, a glass applicator would be more suitable, so that the dose of application could be calculated. The bottle is packed in a stylish box of black paper with silver letters.

What users value in the "Black Afghan"

This fragrance shrouds its owner with the smells of psychedelic herbs and hypnotic flowers. It absolutely does not look like cheap toilet waters. He immediately declares himself as an expensive (and even precious) perfume. What does he do this? The secret of success, which is used by the spirits "Black Afghan", is ud. This ingredient, which the reviews identified as dominant, should be devoted to a couple of lines. Ud extracts from an agar tree. Already in itself it is very expensive. The wood of agar is valued in weight of gold. But ud is not just tar or essential oil. Old (not less than one hundred years old) agar trees are sometimes affected by a special fungus. The plant struggles for a long time with the disease and begins to excrete the resin. The wood of a healthy agar is light. In a plant affected by a fungus, it darkens, and eventually becomes viscous. It is necessary, that the tree was ill about ten years, and only then it is possible to collect precious ud, tar of agar. Therefore, it is not surprising that this ingredient, which has not yet been synthesized, so inflates the price of the product. The cost of the "Black Afghan" starts from nine thousand rubles for a thirty-milliliter bottle.

Who fits the fragrance

Despite the fact that the manufacturer speaks of unisex, the reviews tend to say that Black Afgano is a man's perfume. "Black Afghan" makes an impression of power, strength, wealth. Therefore, according to users, this perfume is not to the face of green youths and windy students. It is better to wear it to the staid men, who are established in life and know their own worth. And although tart and characteristic aroma can not be called an aphrodisiac, nothing attracts girls like the smell of wealth. But there were also ladies who considered the "Black Afghan" their own. As a women's perfume, it is suitable only for a hard image. It must be a socialite. And she goes on a hunt not in search of a man, but only to once again demonstrate her power over them. Again, this fragrance is not for romantic ladies, but for ladies, preferably about thirty years.

When to wear perfume

Spirits "Black Afghan" for men of wealthy (or, at least, strong in spirit) are all-season. In summer, the thick smell of warm skin only gives the wearer a masculinity. But there is no hint of sweat. Incense and herbs add to the composition austerity and freshness. In the winter, the aroma of the "club cabinet" is very warm. Associations carry you to the fireplace, sit in a deep armchair made of genuine leather, give you a cognac glass with an amber drink, and a smoking cigar leans against the edge of the ashtray ... But these women can be worn strictly in the cold period. In the summer they are a little bit stuffy and get too sweet.

With what to wear

The manufacturer claims that the perfume "Black Afghan" is a fragrance for all occasions. Say, it can be worn for work, a romantic date, and a social reception. Comments, at least Russian consumers, do not agree with this statement. In their opinion, you can go to work in the "Black Afghan" if you are the boss. Or the nature creative, avant-garde, breaking public foundations. When you are a free artist, the "Black Afghan" will also suit jeans with a checkered shirt. But in any other case you need to wear a strict business suit for this perfume. Ladies in relation to clothing are not as constrained as men. But if you already create an image of a secular lioness or a stylish businesswoman, then you should dress appropriately.

How to carry perfume

"Black Afghan" (perfume) reviews called phenomenally persistent. Essential oils and resins stay on the skin for a very long time. And even after taking a shower, the smell does not disappear completely. And after a few days with a sharp turn of the head you catch a weak, but very characteristic trace of perfume. Especially persistent "Black Afghan" on furs. The fur coat, hanging in the closet for a whole summer, keeps this precious smell, as if it was perfumed only yesterday. The owner of the "Black Afghan" feels more confident in this world of men. The trail on women is very interesting. It mixed the aroma of agar with the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans. Perfume does not stifle, it does not hurt the head. But at the same time he is easily recognizable.

Perfume Black Afganese: reviews of perfume

No minuses, except for the too generous dispenser on the flacon, users did not notice. I was somewhat puzzled by the color of the liquid. Not many dared to put black perfume on light clothing. But the rest of the reviews about the perfume are only positive. Yes, it does not suit everyone. But the target audience - men under forty and determined women at the age of about thirty - are grateful to the perfume house "Nasomatto" for such a gift as the perfume "Black Afghan". Many, having tried the exquisite, decided to buy a full-fledged vial. There were some who wanted to try other perfumes from the corresponding series of the company "Nasomatto".
