About this fragrance
Let's set expectations first: Blackano is not a crowd-pleaser, and it was never meant to be. It's our take on Nasomatto's Black Afgano.
It's thick and resinous from the start, green and incense-like over tobacco, coffee and a deep oud-amber base. There's no light moment in it; it commits to the dark the whole way through, and a little goes a very long way.
This is a cold-weather, night-time scent for people who already know they like the heavy, smoky end of things. If that's you, you'll understand it on the first wear.
Curious how close it gets to the original? I wrote about choosing a Black Afgano alternative in Pakistan.
Blackano is our own inspired composition and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Nasomatto.
The Perfumer's Note
A dark, resinous statement, properly nocturnal. Honestly: it's heavy and divisive by design, a winter-night scent, not an everyday one.
