The review
Black Kabul New Edition scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Afgano.
French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Afgano's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $79 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Black Afgano — the 7th cheapest of 12 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Nasomatto Black Afgano is cannabis and green notes at first, resins, tobacco and coffee at its heart and oud, incense and vetiver at the end. French Avenue set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cannabis
- green notes
Heart

Base
- oud

- vetiver
Hashish smoke, black resin and oud pressed into one unrepentantly dark, room-filling extrait.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
