Alessandro Gualtieri

"Black Afgano Extrait is one of Nasomatto’s best-known fragrances, released in 2009 and created by founder Alessandro Gualtieri. Official brand copy says it aims to evoke the best quality of hashish and the effects of temporary bliss, which aligns with its dark, narcotic reputation. In wear, it is widely described as deep, smoky, resinous, woody, and slightly green, with many reviewers also perceiving incense, tobacco-like facets, and an earthy darkness. The scent is often treated as a modern niche icon because of its unusual mood and instantly recognizable character. Its extrait-style concentration and compact 30 ml presentation reinforce the brand’s intense, artistic approach. Although often polarizing, it remains one of the reference-point fragrances for dark resinous niche perfumery."

Reviews Summary

“Reviews consistently describe Black Afgano as dark, smoky, resinous, woody, and highly distinctive. Many users mention incense, tobacco-like richness, balsamic depth, and a hashish-like impression rather than a literal cannabis smell. It is widely seen as bold and polarizing but also iconic, with strong longevity and generally strong sillage, especially in cooler weather. Some reviewers feel newer bottles are a bit softer than older reputation suggests, but performance is still usually rated very good to excellent.”
