⬛️🚬 🌿 Black Afgano by Nasomatto | Fragrance Review 📚

[@robes08]

What is your favourite Nasomatto? Hit me up in the comments below.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

There's a few . All depends on how I'm feeling. I have Pardon, Black Afgano and Baraonda. I like Duro also, but the performance from when I sampled it was lackluster.

[@L8bro]

Pardon is my favorite. BA always had a dank quality in the dry down which I do not enjoy so much.

[@hassanaslam8487]

@@JohmathanBSwift Like your spelling of lacklustre

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@hassanaslam8487 Whoops . Sorry . Just corrected it and thank you.

Legendary review. 10 years in the making. Great to see your emotion for this one🙏🏼. 👏👏

[@israelfwm]

Boy, I need to report something, I bought the original Black Afgano in decant and after a few uses the spray bottle got stuck, I realized that it was stuck and spraying very little, I thought the essence had run out but no, I just bought it, I fixed it pulling it upwards, then the smell started to appear different, with somewhat metallic facets, without so many nuances of coffee, it's as if it presented a smell that hadn't been captured, it may have remained at the bottom of the extract. There are other resins in the outlet. In my ignorance I ended up using the decant as it was a perfume extract for the essential oils to mix. Does anyone know what could have happened?

[@arnydiablo6205]

Coincidentally, i just ordered this! Watching your review validates my purchase!

[@robes08]

hope you love it like I did.

[@theburreaunerdyfragrance]

The look on Baby Robes’ face when he smelled the sample....Priceless 😂 Sample purchased before the video was even finished, stop spending my money Marc.....

[@JohmathanBSwift]

That's a great name. Are you going to do some reviews.

I tried black afgano in like 2014 or 2015 and it was ok to me. Now 2021 I absolutely love it! I don't know if it has been reformulated or my sense of smell has just evolved. But its absolutely beautiful to myself

[@wazzabanzook5028]

you have aged, happens alot we like darker more mature scents when we get older

[@Malick_ibn_dinar]

That’s the G.O.A.T of fragrance reviewing on KZbin

[@gypsy696]

I’m a woman living in hot and humid Mumbai -30-40 degree Celsius most of the year. Don’t like florals and sweet fragrances hence the “male” category is what I normally reach into. Strangely drawn to this one. Will it work?

[@robes08]

Will it work? You make it work! I'm sure you can pull it off.

[@justaddlight]

Kick ass graphics Mark. Nailed it with that bark description. This is the fragrance that has probably gotten me the most criticism over the years, so I basically just switched to Gucci's Intense Oud. I still like to rock it from time to time though. If I want to feel like Anakin Skywalker... "you DON'T know the POWER of the dark side!!!"

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Wathced a video review of Black Afgano by ATH. The guy actually wants us to buy him samples to review. 😧😆 I mean I don't mind sending samples to a reviewer that I've had and don't mind passing to them. I've done that numerous times. but I'm not going to buy samples and send them directly from a link provided. It sets up a dilemma . Anyways . Love the dark woodies . Nice to see reviews the old school way. Thanks again Marc for keeping it real.

[@RichMitch]

He's got emotional problems

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@RichMitch Well, I'm sorry to hear that about him. I just didn't care for his delivery of us buying it for him. It came across as , _Well if you don't buy it, I'm not going too_ We love our hobby. We are fragrance enthusiasts, and we buy samples decants because of our passion for it. Why wouldn't he ? TBH , it just seemed hooky

[@RichMitch]

@@JohmathanBSwift no, I'm just saying that's what I think lol. He's just damaged imo, that's why he acts like that

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@RichMitch OK, got it. Thanks for the insight

[@perzhu]

it's cool that you have old relase before reformule, respect!

[@robes08]

Thanks!

[@rdoors]

Superb review Mr Robes. Black Afgano is a BANGER and a masterpiece, and depending on where you are a very interesting wearing experience. Don't wear this at church or around police dogs. Always a place on my shelf for this one.

[@stanleysadventres]

Cubano's FAVORITE fragrance!! Great video!!

[@QQ-ms1oe]

What you think of Pardon?

[@robes08]

I think it needs to be reviewed.

[@MrWheatle]

My bottle arrived today...thanks, in part, to your review! Thanks

[@robes08]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@THE_Newt]

Ok I’ve been on the fence on this given I’m relatively new in my fragrance journey…screw it im in! I turned the corner on xerjoff richwood…Amouage Jubiliation XV…my nose is maturing…I’m pushing forward.

[@robes08]

Tip of the spear kind of comment here.

[@roirotary8155]

Among the best ❤😊

[@bryanryan4504]

I have xerjoff laylati which I heard is like a toned down black afgano. It isn't my favorite xerjoff to wear, but it works well if layered w something more interesting on top. Laylati smells like it is missing a note or two. It's like a band without a lead guitar kind of. I can only assume black afgano is the complete rock band.

[@robes08]

Many Xerjoff's feel incomplete so I hear you.

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

Legendary fragrance and the reviewer too. Thanks for reviewing 👍👍👍

[@robes08]

Much appreciated

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

And 3 years after ... it's still crazy strong. Scent I don't know what to think. Never had wish to have it but destiny decided different! So much talked it's reformulated, it's skin scent bla bla! Are you crazy? Batch '22 very very strong.

[@robes08]

Take reformulation talks with a grain of salt.

[@scorptarget]

Mark thank you again for your contributions! I hope you and your family are doing well! I Just Blind bought this for the hell of it. So many reviews watched and opinions heard but this clinched it for me! Also have a sample of The Next Scent a new release from Nasomatto for you to sample/review...FANTOMAS!!! 💯

[@tiffanymyers8296]

Wow finally reviewing black afgano!! I remember when this was newer to you. I remember when you would travel and your vids took a halt for a couple months at a time. Cool to see this review!!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day

[@XanoviaScents]

I still love this scent... And you have one of those really old bottles with the "S" before it said Nasomatto on the bottom... My bottle is like that too and instead of a normal 'batch code' it just has a '12' printed on the bottom... LOL!!! Dark green juice that is very oily... Awesome job as always Marc... ^_^

[@robes08]

did you just watch this? I would assume you'd be on this on day of launch! Love seeing a new comment on this video!

[@XanoviaScents]

@@robes08 (Actually was just coming back to the video and watching it again... Which is what I was doing yet again now when I saw your reply... ^_^)

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

Has it been reformulated, did you try newer bottles?

[@misterw3ss]

I remember when Brandon asked you to review this. You finally got to it..... 👏👏👏

[@robes08]

way too late lol

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

There is a lot of talk on fragrantica about Gucci Intense Oud reformulation and how bad it is now, so could you do a comparison video in the near future so we could know what are the differences and which batches are good. Regards from Serbia

[@davidsonnow]

Fu*kin love How are you incorporated your old reaction, this is a classic Marc reaction to his favourite all-time favourite signature scent

[@RichMitch]

I really like the fragrance but I dont think it's worth the RRP. I would have a bottle if they were cheaper/bigger for the money. Even at discounters I dont think it justifies the money and i feel insecure with a 30ml bottle. It Might run out 👀

[@TheScentientMan]

Oh yeah I remember that video. Damn time flies. Marc, when’s the top 100 niche list coming out??? We need it to complement the designer list.

[@judthestudo2]

It’s funny to look at my collection and see that I’ve used about 15 ml over about 5 years on this bottle versus all my many others with 5 ml missing. Shows how much I really have enjoyed it.

[@robes08]

same.

[@tiredoffools8929]

I completely agree that you you should always at least SMELL a sample of the original before considering to purchase a fragrance that was "inspired by," created as an inexpensive alternative, or straight up CLONED. I often see people buy a "Clone," of a fragrance and is disappointed with that clone's scent and assuming that's what the original is and dismissing the original altogether. Then year's later finally getting their nose on the original fragrance that clone was inspired by and realizing what they were missing out on and actually loving the original fragrance. I am not against buying clones of fragrances. I own several because sometimes I enjoy the slight differences a clone may have over an original composition, or simply I enjoy the similar DNA more liberally at a far more affordable price. With that said, I am against buying clones without knowing what the original fragrance smells like which those clones are "copying." If you are buying a clone without knowing the original fragrance you are essentially BLIND BUYING and I don't generally recommend that to anyone.

[@gmack7488]

Im go end up liking it once I put it on. It's smooth and dark 2021 I just bought it no more than 3sprays. Not a everyday wear .

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

This was another blind buy from your top 20 lists. My wife always knows when I'm wearing black afgano. And it's not a positive reaction. Of the four I own : 1. Baraonda (no doubt) 2. Black Afgano 3. Pardon 4. Duro

Classic review mate. Love this juice as well. I purchased it in 2011.

[@Cornflake81]

Still my favourite. I was a big fan of Pardon, but when my decant ran out, I wasn't jumping to repurchase. This my decant has been done for a while, and it's on my top buy list. I've heard it's not as good with reformulation, so I'm hoping it's not a big drop off.

[@Indecencealicia]

Black Afghano is strong 🔥 real good juice

Do love Black Afgano, it smells better on my partner though 😭 I also like Narcotic V. 🙂

it's in my rotation for fall, winter, cool spring so that would happen that the level is lower on this one.
