Knock knock, who's there? Black Afgano! :))
Yes.. There's no doubt about the similarities between Kokaine Black Intense and Black Afgano, but Kokaine seems to carve its own unique path. It has a distinct personality and doesn't really attempt to imitate it (at the expense of similar fragrances).
It's a well-balanced fragrance, combining smoky, amber, and resinous notes, possibly derived from myrrh and styrax, with a delightful spicy touch. The presence of tobacco adds depth, while a subtle grape note adds a touch of sweetness.
But, there is a light "chemical" note lingering in the background, which doesn't entirely win me over. However, despite this, I couldn't resist its overall appeal and found it to be a genuinely good fragrance!
Interestingly, Black Afgano appears to be more difficult to wear compared to Kokaine Black intense, which adds an unexpected twist.
So it's worth considering Kokaine as more of a conceptual experience rather than a realistic representation.
P.S. Buying this fragrance in Italy was challenging. Nevertheless, the satisfaction of finally acquiring it was immensely rewarding :-))
