"The fragrance to die for"
There's nothing quite like it in the world of perfumery. While Fortis is good on its own, this is on an entirely different level of olfactory art. The scent features smoke, charred wood, resins, and hashish. I can distinctly detect a creosote-lacquer note that is unmatched elsewhere, leading to a state of pure bliss. This is undeniably a masterpiece—a unique, inimitable creation that has earned Gualtieri much respect. It's fragrances like Black Afgano and Ganymede that fuel my love for perfumery.
Longevity and sillage can vary, but that's not the point here.
If you’ve never tried it, you must.
The product seems genuine in all respects, but the batch code on the bottom of the lid is not printed properly—just some dots. Additionally, I have a question about the gift included with the purchase. I understand that you always mention the random selection process and all that. However, when buying such an expensive perfume and finding a 5 UAH makeup bag as a gift, it ruins the entire impression of the purchase. It would be better to include nothing at all than a low-quality mesh pouch.
I bought this on sale for 5,207 hryvnias. It has a long-lasting and unique scent with a hint of hashish. Definitely a fragrance for men. Women might prefer its counterpart, Liquides Imaginaires Fortis.
The fragrance is quite strong and can even be described as overpowering. It lasts on the skin for a long time, and not everyone will appreciate its scent. It might even cause headaches. It's best to apply only 1-2 sprays. I feel it has been overly advertised. I personally prefer lighter fragrances.
Original Perfume 100%
The Dolce perfume sample as a gift seemed quite unimpressive. Makeup, please consider removing these "gifts" altogether.
I'm thrilled with the perfume!!!
The fragrance, as always, is 100% original. It's not for everyday use, but it's undeniably luxurious and very long-lasting!
This is a long-lasting, horrible scent that is impossible to wash off. Probably the most disgusting "perfume" in the history of the world.
The fragrance pyramid is so accurately revealed in accordance with the declared ingredients that my partner thought I had been smoking in the bathroom.
I purchased this fragrance as a sample from another store and was pleasantly impressed by its scent and longevity. As a result, I decided to buy a full bottle at the makeup store, but I must say I was disappointed. The longevity lasted only about 1-2 hours, and there was hardly any sillage. It gave me the impression that it might be a counterfeit product.
I purchased a sample and was amazed by how identical it was to the fragrance from Frank Oliver's Wood Vanilla. It is ten times cheaper and equally long-lasting.
The scent is wonderful, resembling a perfume. It is strong and perfect for winter. However, I wouldn't expect women to feel this way about it. Not at all. It is completely masculine. Definitely not unisex.
I didn't buy it here, but I want to write that the fragrance is enchanting. It needs to be spread out, because at first you only feel the sour hemp, and then everything else. I gave this perfume to my husband as a replacement for Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense (which is currently impossible to buy in Ukraine). My husband is happy!
I bought this fragrance in a different store and I really liked it. The scent lasts for a whole week. So, I decided to order a full bottle here. The fragrance is nice, but not long-lasting at all. In my opinion, it seems like a regular counterfeit product, unfortunately.
Nobody could understand what they smell like. However, the scent is very pleasant and unlike anything else.
In my opinion, this perfume is terrible; I smelled it on a friend. I could still feel the scent of the perfume after three hours of meeting. The perfume is heavy and overly dominant. I have never encountered such an unpleasant perfume in my life. It resembles a mixture of lovage and hemp. I believe that this perfume is more suitable for men from the East and for a drier, warmer climate where it would unfold completely differently.
It feels like your habit of drinking aromatic Arabica. Initially, it is vibrant, lingering, and hot. Then, this delicious smoke becomes your second skin. Unlike other heavy incense scents, it doesn't suffocate; it has a certain airy freshness. It induces addiction, and the base lingers for a long time; practically, it is a perfume for the entire day.
This perfume walks a very fine line - you will either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. It has a rich, enveloping scent that is very long-lasting with a lingering trail. It is definitely a perfume, not just a scented water, so if you don't want to overpower someone, it's best to stick to just one spray. The fragrance maintains its integrity throughout and only towards the end does it lose the notes of cannabis, leaving the wood, tobacco, and smoke to dominate. I highly recommend it.
These perfumes are luxurious. My husband is delighted with them. They are very long-lasting. They have various notes that unfold beautifully. Even after washing, clothes still smell wonderful.
I bought this product for myself and I enjoy using it. I consider the scent to be more feminine. Why? Because sometimes I hear the question "what is that cool smell?". Also, because as an experiment, I tried it on almost all of my male acquaintances. No, boys, this is not your scent. Maybe it suits Italians well, or someone else... After all, it's a different climate, a different body chemistry. On our men, it becomes overwhelming and stuffy, whether it's just one spray or half a spray. Definitely needs testing. But not in the market (due to the abundance of counterfeit products), it must be the original. And a separate thank you and respect to Makeup for original perfumery. Out of the dozens of bottles I have bought here, not a single flaw.
The fragrance is absolutely exquisite! I highly recommend it without any doubt.
The fragrance is incomparable to me! I fell in love at first sight. Those who claim that the scent is only for men are wrong...
For fans of TF "Black Orchid" and similar fragrance compositions (complex, multi-component, ambiguous,...), this will definitely be a hit!!!
Smoke and sweetness, but not overly sweet...
It reminds me of a morning by the river at dawn (not the scent itself, but the perception and state within it).
The fragrance is simply amazing. It may be expensive, but believe me, it's worth it. This is not your typical luxury perfume like Sauvage and others. For those who are still undecided about whether to buy it or not, think about whether you are ready for such a complex scent and incredible longevity. The delivery was simply super fast.

Original Perfume
Everything is done promptly.
First impression. Unboxing the perfume was like a "festive parade". I had seen videos before, but the tactile sensations exceeded my expectations! It's like a masterpiece!
As for the scent - it's unique. But the ladies at work appreciated it in a luxurious way! Although I was afraid someone would "reject" it.
Thanks to my favorite online store for another original masterpiece!
I have already written a review about the Afghan product. I will write it again. Based on all the signs confirming its originality, this is indeed an original product. I have watched many videos online and everything seems to be okay. Thank you, MAKE.UP!
The original perfume passes all authenticity checks. The box is made of thin cardboard (black, matte) with inscriptions on all sides, including expiration date, certification, and batch code (laser engraved). There is a sticker on the back of the inner part. The lid is made of wood with a natural non-linear wooden pattern. The sprayer is black, with the brand name and batch number in the center of the bottom.
As for the fragrance itself, at the start, you can clearly smell fresh cannabis (thought it was just my imagination, but it is distinct). Then, woody notes and resinous aromas with hints of agarwood come into play.
The scent is unique and unmistakable. I recommend testing it before purchasing.
I am satisfied with the purchase. Thank you, MakeUp!
Everything arrived quickly on time! It's the original product, I bought it as a gift. Thank you.
Perfect.
The scent is amazing, captivating, and something you want to inhale. The packaging and bottle are 100% original. I would give it 10 stars. From the first inhalation, it feels familiar yet unusual. Do not listen to those who say it smells bad and unpleasant. I bought it without testing it based on reviews and watching many videos online. Get it and you won't regret it, just like me. MAKE. UP is great! The delivery was faster than I expected, and they have a decent selection of perfumes. Thank you!
I did not purchase it here.
The initial moments are a pleasant black iris. However, afterwards, both on my clothing and on a young person's skin, it turns into a church incense scent. Yes, at first, there are notes of grass present, but getting rid of the ladanum fragrance is very difficult.
Therefore, this fragrance is subjective and not for everyone. Both on myself and on the young person, the skin feels cold.
The fragrance is nice, but I didn't detect any hashish in it. However, everyone's perception is different, so I still recommend it!
Great. I really like it.
If "Black Afgano" didn't evoke so many emotions in people, from the words, "It's something!"
This fragrance fills up the entire space, making it impossible to escape or hide from it. Sometimes it feels like it will suffocate you with its intensity. Even if you apply just a drop of Afghan, you will have to carry this burden on yourself all day. It cannot be washed off or wiped away. On me, it opens up sweet and even cloying for the first couple of hours, then I can barely smell it, but others can. Even clothes smell like it even after washing. It's not suitable for the office (my colleague would open the windows every time I wore Afghan), it's unique and requires a special mood. It's not something you reach for every day. Given to me by my husband in December, the bottle is almost full. But it definitely has a place in your collection for when you want to be 100% yourself without the worry of people giving you puzzled looks or opening windows in your presence. As for the pyramid - try it, no other way. It transforms, behaves differently in different weather, and even seems to adapt to your different moods.
The fragrance is unisex, but it's not for everyone. Personally, I sneeze from it and can hear it everywhere, sometimes I even have to rewash my husband's clothes because I just can't stand it anymore. This concentrate is extremely long-lasting! I even thought I would get used to it if I wore it myself, but after a few days, I couldn't bear it anymore. I had to even take off the strap from my Apple Watch and my favorite bracelets. I still haven't worn them because it's been a month or two, but the smell is still there. For many people, this is a plus.
I recently purchased this fragrance. I had only read and seen about it before, but I am not disappointed with it. It smells really nice. It is suitable only for men, especially for evenings in a car with a leather interior. I don't know who decided it was unisex, but it is clearly a masculine fragrance that not everyone will like. You only need to apply a little bit, otherwise you will end up smelling like a cheap cologne from the market. And don't expect it to make heads turn with its scent.
I ordered a small quantity and did not regret it. I'm glad I didn't buy the full size.
In the positive reviews, people describe some smoky notes from the joint and a mysterious aura that surrounds it. In reality, there is no smoke and nothing attractive to me. If you apply a full spray, you might feel nauseous because you can't wash it off your skin, so it's better to throw away the clothes right away.
I can't imagine a girl who can wear it. The scent might be suitable for a long-unwashed bearded Afghan or as a repellent for people. But it's up to each individual to try it, I guess, to understand how eccentric a fragrance can be.
If I were to describe my associative sequence during the test in one word, imagine a handful of different aromatic sticks that you stick your nose into and take a deep breath. Well, it's like that...
I absolutely adore them, but only on my significant other. They give off a strong scent that I find overwhelming. It's simply out of this world, long-lasting, expensive, and has a beautiful fragrance. It just opens up so beautifully on men.
For me, this fragrance is a complete disappointment. It's not that I didn't like it, but rather that it didn't impress me at all. Based on numerous reviews on various websites and forums, I concluded that people either fall in love with this fragrance or hate it, but it definitely doesn't leave anyone indifferent. Some people dedicated entire poetic odes to it, comparing it to the saddle of a sweaty horse or the damp hold of a tobacco-filled ship. By the way, the negative reviews were equally eloquent.
Imagine my disappointment when, after applying it, I smelled a typical masculine cologne, you know, like the one on a fat guy in a 50-year-old suit. It's a generic image, nothing individual or interesting. I've already mentioned the cannabis note, I know very well how it smells when it's green, dried, or burning ;) and I didn't detect it in any form here.
I'm not an expert in perfumery, but I can usually distinguish different notes in fragrances. With this one, everything is very flat (I'm 100% sure about the originality of this perfume). I also understand that people can perceive the same fragrance differently, and I believe that it might truly impress someone. However, I would like my review to serve as a warning for those considering purchasing it, that they might experience the same thing as me, or rather, nothing at all. It happens, not everyone is left in awe by this fragrance.
P.S. I also read that Afghan was considered the coolest fragrance until 2014, then it was reformulated and lost some notes. After 2017, it was reformulated again and completely lost its former glory. Perhaps this could also be the case.
The scent is complex and intriguing. On my skin, it unfolds with a slightly sweet and bitter resin note, accompanied by a subtle hint of fallen leaves, moist warm earth, and decaying foliage. After a few hours, it becomes very animalistic, emanating the scent of musk, hot greasy leather, sweaty horsehide with a touch of manure, opium smoke, and resinous church incense. It is a fragrance that can be either loved or hated, as it is not complimentary, but those around can definitely sense it, and at times, it may shock them. I personally love this fragrance; it resonates differently in each season. Sometimes, I simply apply it before going to bed, just for myself.
Regarding this fragrance!!!
I am 100% sure that it is not original!!!!
First of all, we encountered and tried this fragrance abroad!!!
The scent is long-lasting, it stays on magnificently!!! Even after washing, my entire wardrobe had the scent of this perfume!!!
The perfume purchased at the makeup store is not long-lasting at all!!! And there is no talk about any trail at all! Even when sniffing it on clothes, you can't smell it!!!
We addressed this issue to the employees of the makeup store!!! The response completely overwhelmed me!!! They reassured us for a long time that they only sell originals!!! And they also said that I was just unlucky.
GORGEOUS PERFUME! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!
I picked up the fragrance. It's fiery.
Great fragrance. It lasts for a long time and is very persistent. It's original, as I have something to compare it to. I would like to mention that it manifests differently on women and men.
I bought it here. The service was excellent, and the delivery was also great. I am very satisfied.
Today I received my beloved Afghan...100% authentic! Thank you, Makeup!
I don't understand why these reviews are so positive; personally, I wasn't very impressed with them. I didn't really like them after using them for a week. I can't say they were amazing or anything like that. The best perfume I have ever used in my 25 years of experience is Tom Ford. It is truly a premium class! Nothing compares to his perfumes today. Especially Oud Wood!
This is only for collectors! Everyone will think that you smell like cheap cologne, then like hemp, and then some other stench. And others will follow you and ask who you are. The bottle with the cap is something else, the cap is made of unusual shaped wood, perfect for a gift to someone in military uniform. It's definitely something from their element. As for a woman, it's a bit challenging, very eccentric!
The fragrance is definitely intriguing, long-lasting, and has a good sillage. One spritz is enough! However, it is definitely not suitable for the summer, as it is too heavy and intense.
I expected more. Either the new version is not the same as the original, or it is no longer fashionable to make super strong and long-lasting perfumes (respecting personal space). Alessandro Gualtieri's creativity shines through in another one of his works - Boccanera (Orto Parisi). In my opinion, it is even better than Afghan. From the same fragrance direction, I preferred Black Oud by LM Parfums and Sehr Al Kalemat (Kalemat Black) by Arabian Oud. However, everyone has different tastes. Yes, Afghan is, I believe, a more masculine scent than feminine.
The scent is incredible. I am collecting the Nasomatto collection. My husband really liked these ones :)
This scent is truly incomparable. Once you try it, you will never forget it. Yes, it's intense, and not everyone will understand... But it's the fragrance of the soul. Those who love it, you can trust them through thick and thin.
This fragrance is absolutely amazing, it makes heads spin and attracts attention effortlessly. Its scent lingers even after washing.
I have never come across a fragrance better than this in my life. It is so intoxicating that it makes my head spin and weakens my knees ❤️
I'm not sure about the love potion effect, but today a customer came to work wearing this perfume and the girls were screaming in horror... In my opinion, this men's fragrance is nothing special, with a strong and overpowering scent.
Black Afgano is the agony of a "dying" freshly-cut wood in a fire. The tree is not yet burning, but the resin is already boiling under the pressure of the flames and bursting through the cracked bark like a magical concoction, emitting a bewitching aroma.
The captivating effect has been repeatedly experienced firsthand.
