EarthyWhat does Laylati / Afgano Puro smell like?
It opens with herbs and moves into patchouli and cedarwood at the heart, giving a green, earthy woodiness. In the base, tobacco, musk and vanilla sweeten the smoky, resinous and spicy structure and add an animal warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer is the least chosen. It suits evenings and nights out best. It leans masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Sospiro Afgano Puro and Xerjoff Wardasina / Rosso Afgano have a close profile.
