โWas buying it from official site in Netherlands only. The difference from 2020, 2023 and 2025 batches is insane. The latest batches have too much ambroxan in it that ruins the beauty of the initial scent! The only version worth buying is 4 ml oil from Nasomatto site( I'm talking about 2025 batch). Now I'm looking for the alternatives, and will never buy it from official site. In EU it could be find out for much lower price(half or even cheaper). Sorry Nasomatto, its not my fault...โ
โIn my opinion, this gem is way more versatile than people give it credit for. It without a doubt has a freshness to it. I could see it being worn spring days, spring nights, autumn and winter days for sure and possibly even cooler summer nights. In the office? I genuinely don't see why not. It's dark but energising as well.It's like Megamare where people act like it can be repulsive, yet I receive nothing but compliments when I wear it, compliments where you can tell people are a little bit 'wowed' as well. In the air they're both phenomenal.โ
โIt smells faintly of weed but thats not really what I'm immediately getting when i smell it. this smells a LOT like mystic experience from initio on the drydown, like a vampirical coffee-oud that's pretty nice. really challenging tho lol. I used to have china white and they both smell heavily of that slightly stank nasomatto dna off the cap. the opening is great, get the weed with the tobacco and oud. On the drydown again tho it smells a LOT like mystic experience. heavily situational and nice to have if you have a wide range and all your other bases are covered.โ

Black Kabul is slightly less green and herbaceous in the opening, with a softer cannabis note interpretation compared to the original's more pronounced and raw presentation. The clone also tends to have marginally less longevity and a quieter sillage than Black Afgano's bold projection.

The clone lacks the cannabis and animalic undertones that give Black Afgano its transgressive character, trading authenticity for broader commercial appeal. Longevity and sillage are likely slightly reduced, with a more linear, less evolving scent profile.

Hades' Elixir tends to have slightly shorter longevity and a more refined sillage compared to Black Afgano's potent, room-filling presence. The clone may emphasize the incense and woody notes more prominently, while the original's raw, cannabis-like qualities come through with greater intensity.
