My Amber No. 266
.
The sun rises over the mountains of the Hindu Kush, casting deep shadows in the Wakhan, climbing over the Khyber Pass and accompanying you on your journey through a foreign land. Afghanistan.

The cistus is given to you on your way, and a bitter sweetness of dark roses caresses you with the green of the oases, floral cloud bands of a distant mirage. You feel the wooden dust of the sandy roads, the long, dark breath of amber, the native tobacco from hidden valleys, where the narcotic takes its angry beginning. You sense a green edge for a long time, the rough scent of bitter violets, hidden vanilla, and heavy labdanum, and you are caught in a gentle web of incense. Fine. 9.0

And now you dream of oriental secrets, of wishes that only a djinn could fulfill, of a peaceful future. But you are allowed to think for a while with hope of the tormented land.

Black Afgano Light
In principle, you can quickly guess where this journey is headed. Afgano not only sounds similar but also has the same dark, almost black hue and smells almost as darkly balsamic-spicy as the well-known original.

However, there is a small fine but essential difference. Afghan is a skillfully lighter version and thus can also be worn in summer or at warmer temperatures without causing immediate breathlessness.

Admittedly, the individual notes are quite difficult to identify. I have no idea if anyone could do that in a blind test. The only thing that I think can be relatively well placed are mainly frankincense, sandalwood, labdanum, and amber. Green notes do indeed appear at the beginning, but only relatively muted.

What I personally appreciate most is the frankincense. In contrast to BA, which I truly value, it does not trigger headaches for me here. I notice this repeatedly, but not consistently with fragrances containing frankincense.

Nevertheless, I think that those who do not like Black Afgano will also find little to appreciate in Afghan. For others, it could be a worthwhile summer alternative to try.

Resin drops fall on dark earth in the smoky balsam forest. Mystical longing envelops twilight. Northern autumn or Oriental dusk? GOOD!
