Forbidden vs Black Afgano

Forbidden by House of Matriarch generated interest as a darker tuberose option, though the community provided limited direct commentary on the fragrance itself. Members seemed intrigued by its existence but offered more detailed recommendations for alternative tuberose fragrances, suggesting it may appeal to niche enthusiasts but lacks strong community consensus or advocacy.

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.
