What does Afghan smell like?

It opens with green notes and cistus, then deepens into tobacco, violet and ambergris at the heart. The base holds frankincense, labdanum, sandalwood, musk and cedarwood. The overall impression is woody, earthy and oriental, with spice and smoke sitting right beside the resin.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It works equally well on men and women, with a dense, warm profile. Brecourt Oud Santal and Chabaud Mysterious Oud have a close profile.
