The review
On paper, Shades of Death is a reasonable bet if you want Black Afgano for less.
Scentual Obsessions 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.
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 Scentual Obsessions 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
The original opens on cannabis and green notes, turns to resins, tobacco and coffee, and settles into oud, incense and vetiver. That is the brief Shades of Death is working from.
Top
- cannabis
- green notes
Heart
- resins
- tobacco
- coffee
Base
- oud
- incense
- 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.
