Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Royal Afgano lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Afgano.
True Scents 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 $36 it costs 81% less than Black Afgano.
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 True Scents 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
What it is chasing: cannabis and green notes up top, resins, tobacco and coffee in the middle, oud, incense and vetiver underneath — the shape of Nasomatto Black Afgano.
Top
- cannabis
- green notes
Heart
- resins
- tobacco
- coffee
Base
- oud
- incense

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.
