The community views Zafar as a competent but somewhat underwhelming oud fragrance that fails to deliver the intense, animalic character some expected. While it shares DNA with respected fragrances and has quality construction, reviewers found it tamer and less bold than anticipated for an Xerjoff offering.

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.
