Speakeasy vs Black Afgano

Frapin Speakeasy receives divided opinions in the community. While some genuinely love the fragrance and find it memorable, others find it excessively sweet and cloying, with immortelle and tonka overpowering the initial fresh lime opening. The main criticism is that it doesn't authentically capture speakeasy character, leaning instead toward a overly-sweetened gourmand profile that some describe as generic.

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.
