The review

Wake me up scores 7.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Afgano.

HK Perfumes 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.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Black Afgano — the 6th cheapest of 10 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 HK Perfumes 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. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • cannabis
  • green notes

Heart

  • resins

Base

  • 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.
