A most excellent perfume! Smoky, smoldering bokhoor oud chips overlaid onto sticky, thick, animalic and resinous labdanum absolute with subtle supporting notes of sweetened caramel, Egyptian rosewood and Egyptian jasmine flowers that has a persistent base of crisp cypress. Seriously, this is some fantastic and very well executed stuff. Lovers of labdanum will be elated to adorn this (like myself!) I am an avid fan and user of bokhoor. Oud Afghano recreates this titillating sensation perfectly, smoke, oud resins and all. The perfume is balanced, very long lasting and the sillage is narcotic and intoxicating. This is in no way an overwhelming creation if applied judiciously. As mentioned previously, the balance and execution of creating an entirely incense based perfume is spot on. I’m certain that perfuming yourself with oud smoke and then applying a couple of spritzes of Oud Afghano is sure to leave yourself and others around you mesmerized for endless hours. This is a stellar perfume. As a side note: Nassomatto’s Black Afgano is ‘similiar’, but Oud Afghano is not an intentional dupe. Both aromas are in the same ball park although the differences are clearly noticeable.
