Very helpful Review 24  
1 Advent calendar, in which behind each door there is another Advent calendar, results in a fabulous 600 gifts!
And some people can come up with that without any hashish. You just have to think a little about the subject, and then you can easily provide all the answers yourself. It's that simple. No thanks necessary.

However, if you need drugs for whatever reason to come up with such a simple calculation example, then please do not use this perfume for inspiration, because it does not smell like hashish, it doesn't even smell like Mariohuna.

Coffee shops in your area would be rolling with laughter if they proudly wore this scent.
At the German-Dutch border, they would just wave you through. If, however, you were accidentally stopped, drug dogs would be doing tricks at your feet, and upon your request, they would jump through burning hoops. (don’t try this, you still need the hoops) Customs officers would invite you for a coffee after they had jovially chatted through all the coffee shop jokes and "I-have-nothing-with-me" excuses.

In other words: The title "Black Hashish" piques curiosity, invites you to linger, is zero spicy-smoky, cannot be, does not want to please, yet does, looks on and can and is allowed to do that, and is totally ready for the main event. Well then, here we go!

Black Hashish or How Does Cannabis Smell
Flower power and hippie times. And I was right in the middle of it. Flokati carpet. Flower dresses and monster platform shoes. I was part of it. Incense sticks. Wild nights in Schwabing. Sit-ins at the art academy. I was part of that too. Cigarettes and alcohol. Of course. Just one thing I never did: I never smoked weed. Honestly!
And that's why I have no idea what cannabis smells like...

... but if it smells like the 'stuff' I just sprayed on, then I obviously missed out on something back then.

'Black Hashish' by 'ArteOlfatto' does not come across as hippie-like at all, but rather quite serious. The bottle feels heavy, very heavy in hand. It weighs almost 400 g. It really needs a man's hand for that. The label has a linen texture and gold lettering, matching the gold-colored cap, which alone weighs 96 g.

The scent has everything I like: incense, tobacco, coffee, and oud. So far, it already reminds me of the student lifestyle back then. 'Black Hashish' does not start off black at all, but beautifully green like sage with sweet resinous notes, into which coffee and tobacco scents gradually blend without completely overpowering them. During an almost endless longevity, cedar and sandalwood float into the fragrance mix. For me, the transitions from top to heart and base notes are hardly recognizable. Everything intertwines. Beautiful.

I like this scent on me. However, I can almost imagine it even better on a man. He could appeal to me. As long as he doesn't wear a sheepskin vest or a batik shirt.

Smoke Without Fire
Since I was annoyed by my friend today, I'm looking for a calming scent.

I come across Black Hashish and think it might be suitable, as I always enjoyed smelling Hascish by Veejaga on my mother.
This scent was - like her - a place of calm.

But Black Hashish is primarily - black.

It approaches me gloomily like a threatening stormy sky.
More unsettling - than calming.

Black bitter coffee - accompanied by creaky oud.
Very dry - even the coffee.

The incense emphasizes the dryness again - and this smoky note reminds me of smoldering logs - and scratches the throat.

Yes, smoke offers enough in Black Hashish - just no fire.
There is nothing warm in this scent.

The tobacco is crumbly and I can't detect any amber.
My husband and I cough in unison - and shake our heads in sync - this time there is agreement.

No, this has nothing to do with the warm-hearted scent of Veejaga.

I crave water - both for my hands and for my dry mouth.

It's a Name Choice!
There is nothing about you that I don't like. Except for your name. Yes, even Shakespeare said: "What's in a name?". Your beauty is not diminished by your name; you are more than welcome on my skin and in my nose. Even if you come off as brazen and try to play the hitchhiker, riding on foreign waves and traveling (as seems to be typical for your house). So be it. But have you ever thought about a second baptism? The obvious similarity to your ancestor from the house of Nasomatto is as shameless as it is honest, but you simply have nothing to do with hashish. Maybe we should find you a new name.

One that truly suits you,
to your wafting leather breath,
to your invigorating darkness,
the smoky balm,
the rough brown,
that evaporates, spiritualizes, floats away:
memory of brutality,
faded harshness,
androgyny,
dry herbs that rise in resin,
bitter melt that dissolves on the tongue
a core of coffee and black snow.

Don't take it the wrong way, but we're renaming you. Now don't be grumpy.
Maybe you can keep your first name. How about... Black Haze? Black Melt? Black Core? Black Snow? Or we can roll something out of the following word pool that comes to mind: Dark, Damp, Brown, Murky, Mud, Gloom, Somber, Saturn, Dusk... Maybe the audience would like to participate? Any other suggestions?

----------------------

So, how do I rate a fragrance that couldn't be a more obvious copy of one of the most well-known niche fragrances? Probably only with my nose. I actually don't care that the name and scent here are clearly borrowing from the original. Because:
1. In my opinion, BH surpasses its model Black Afgano Extrait de Parfum. It is more refined, airy, and multi-layered. In comparison, BA seems a bit more earthy, angular, rough, and simpler to me. For me, BH represents an improvement. BA does not fascinate me nearly as much.
2. People looking for a cheaper alternative to BA will find it here. I wouldn't know why I should pay Nasomatto prices when I can get practically the same (in this case, in my opinion even better), with a wonderfully great longevity and sillage, at a significantly lower price.

What do you think? Is it legitimate or, on the contrary, even "reprehensible" to support something like this? If musicians cover a song and present it as their own composition without mentioning the original, that would bother me. Why is it different with a perfume, as it is also a work of art? Or is the name such an obvious allusion that it practically passes as a "concession"?
The brand ArteOlfatto seems to like to be "inspired" by foreign giants (Habano Vanilla = Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum / Wild Orchid = Black Orchid Eau de Parfum). It is obviously legal. But has the personal boundary between inspiration and copy been crossed here? Or are the fine differences enough justification?

----------------------

Addendum: I realized afterward that I assumed hashish had a general cannabis smell. I have never smelled hashish (the resin obtained from the cannabis plant) in nature, so I can't compare it to the perfume at all. But this scent definitely does not smell like the leaves/the typical weed smell.

It doesn't get darker than this..
I received a tester of this "fragrance" as an extra attention with another order.. Just for your information..

An extremely smoky, super dry oud/incense scent. To be completely honest, I wouldn't want anyone near me who smells like this. The scent is hardly bearable for me..

The fragrance starts with a storm of incense and very dark oud. The strong oud note is not animalic from the beginning, I have to be fair about that, but it's super dry and extremely dark.. I don't smell coffee at all, just a hurricane of oud and incense. However, the incense is not sweet or lovely but dust-dry and super oppressive.. At some point, the "fragrance" gets a kind of dark furniture wax note and then suddenly becomes animalic.. Creepy… I almost feel sick..

After 1 hour, I admit defeat and wash off the "fragrance".. One thing this "fragrance" has achieved with me. It has taken the ultimate number 1 spot on my list of the creepiest scents of all time.

Mysterious, smoky, woody, that's how it is, with a touch of coffee. Not as strong as BA.
No resemblance to the namesake.

Smoke,
light gray, adds a bit of spice.
Wood dissipates.
New tires?
Gone too.
Freshness joins
the spiced smoke,
dancing to the synth beat.

Coffee wrapped in resins with hints of incense; intense, I would guess synthetic oud, keyword medical note.

It used to smell different when smoking. Woody-resinous incense, with green notes + decent oud, sweet-spicy. No joint in sight + far.

Amber coffee, slightly burnt-smoky. The base is soft-woody-balsamic. A charmer. Nothing here reminds of hash.

I was young too and can definitely say that has nothing to do with black hashish. Just stick to the carrots!

I don't know what the guys are smoking, but it doesn't smell like hashish. Nice coffee scent with tobacco. Creamy, a bit smoky, spicy.

Forget about hashish, there’s nothing in it. A very nice coffee scent, that’s the first thing you notice. Then smoky undertones and above all not sweet. Good!

A quiet evening bazaar. The aromas of coffee, dry greens, juicy violets, and delicate resins swirl gently and densely around.
