What does Black Afghan (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and autumn, and suggest evening or a night out; spring sits further back and summer comes last. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it wears comfortably either way.

It opens with oud, cedarwood and vanilla, the smoky woodiness of the oud softened by the sweetness of the vanilla. The heart brings vetiver, ginger and jasmine, a spicy, floral turn. Sandalwood, patchouli and saffron close it out, drying down resinous, oriental and faintly animal.
