Black Afgano is a divisive fragrance with genuine admirers and vocal detractors. While it's praised for its artistry, complexity, and impressive construction, many find it impractical for everyday wear due to its challenging character and the cannabis-like notes that could be inappropriate in certain contexts. Recent reformulations have disappointed long-time fans with diminished performance, and the premium pricing limits its accessibility.
