There's a few . All depends on how I'm feeling. I have Pardon, Black Afgano and Baraonda. I like Duro also, but the performance from when I sampled it was lackluster.
The look on Baby Robes’ face when he smelled the sample....Priceless 😂 Sample purchased before the video was even finished, stop spending my money Marc.....
I tried black afgano in like 2014 or 2015 and it was ok to me. Now 2021 I absolutely love it! I don't know if it has been reformulated or my sense of smell has just evolved. But its absolutely beautiful to myself
Kick ass graphics Mark. Nailed it with that bark description. This is the fragrance that has probably gotten me the most criticism over the years, so I basically just switched to Gucci's Intense Oud. I still like to rock it from time to time though. If I want to feel like Anakin Skywalker... "you DON'T know the POWER of the dark side!!!"
Boy, I need to report something, I bought the original Black Afgano in decant and after a few uses the spray bottle got stuck, I realized that it was stuck and spraying very little, I thought the essence had run out but no, I just bought it, I fixed it pulling it upwards, then the smell started to appear different, with somewhat metallic facets, without so many nuances of coffee, it's as if it presented a smell that hadn't been captured, it may have remained at the bottom of the extract. There are other resins in the outlet. In my ignorance I ended up using the decant as it was a perfume extract for the essential oils to mix. Does anyone know what could have happened?
Superb review Mr Robes. Black Afgano is a BANGER and a masterpiece, and depending on where you are a very interesting wearing experience. Don't wear this at church or around police dogs. Always a place on my shelf for this one.
Wow finally reviewing black afgano!! I remember when this was newer to you. I remember when you would travel and your vids took a halt for a couple months at a time. Cool to see this review!!
Wathced a video review of Black Afgano by ATH. The guy actually wants us to buy him samples to review. 😧😆 I mean I don't mind sending samples to a reviewer that I've had and don't mind passing to them. I've done that numerous times. but I'm not going to buy samples and send them directly from a link provided. It sets up a dilemma . Anyways . Love the dark woodies . Nice to see reviews the old school way. Thanks again Marc for keeping it real.
@@RichMitch Well, I'm sorry to hear that about him. I just didn't care for his delivery of us buying it for him. It came across as , _Well if you don't buy it, I'm not going too_ We love our hobby. We are fragrance enthusiasts, and we buy samples decants because of our passion for it. Why wouldn't he ? TBH , it just seemed hooky
I’m a woman living in hot and humid Mumbai -30-40 degree Celsius most of the year. Don’t like florals and sweet fragrances hence the “male” category is what I normally reach into. Strangely drawn to this one. Will it work?
Mark thank you again for your contributions! I hope you and your family are doing well! I Just Blind bought this for the hell of it. So many reviews watched and opinions heard but this clinched it for me! Also have a sample of The Next Scent a new release from Nasomatto for you to sample/review...FANTOMAS!!! 💯
I still love this scent... And you have one of those really old bottles with the "S" before it said Nasomatto on the bottom... My bottle is like that too and instead of a normal 'batch code' it just has a '12' printed on the bottom... LOL!!! Dark green juice that is very oily... Awesome job as always Marc... ^_^
There is a lot of talk on fragrantica about Gucci Intense Oud reformulation and how bad it is now, so could you do a comparison video in the near future so we could know what are the differences and which batches are good. Regards from Serbia
I really like the fragrance but I dont think it's worth the RRP. I would have a bottle if they were cheaper/bigger for the money. Even at discounters I dont think it justifies the money and i feel insecure with a 30ml bottle. It Might run out 👀
This was another blind buy from your top 20 lists. My wife always knows when I'm wearing black afgano. And it's not a positive reaction. Of the four I own : 1. Baraonda (no doubt) 2. Black Afgano 3. Pardon 4. Duro
subscribed to your channel man which I rarely do. I appreciate your videos progress looks much better now wish I had the time to hear more reviews will visit your channel soon.. best of luck.
Looking forward to seeing more of your favorites reviewed, there are so many mediocre scents out there, bring out the bangers Marc! Life can be short unfortunately, there is no time to waste, we are waiting to see your favorites reviewed!
Ok I’ve been on the fence on this given I’m relatively new in my fragrance journey…screw it im in! I turned the corner on xerjoff richwood…Amouage Jubiliation XV…my nose is maturing…I’m pushing forward.
I completely agree that you you should always at least SMELL a sample of the original before considering to purchase a fragrance that was "inspired by," created as an inexpensive alternative, or straight up CLONED. I often see people buy a "Clone," of a fragrance and is disappointed with that clone's scent and assuming that's what the original is and dismissing the original altogether. Then year's later finally getting their nose on the original fragrance that clone was inspired by and realizing what they were missing out on and actually loving the original fragrance. I am not against buying clones of fragrances. I own several because sometimes I enjoy the slight differences a clone may have over an original composition, or simply I enjoy the similar DNA more liberally at a far more affordable price. With that said, I am against buying clones without knowing what the original fragrance smells like which those clones are "copying." If you are buying a clone without knowing the original fragrance you are essentially BLIND BUYING and I don't generally recommend that to anyone.
It’s funny to look at my collection and see that I’ve used about 15 ml over about 5 years on this bottle versus all my many others with 5 ml missing. Shows how much I really have enjoyed it.
I have xerjoff laylati which I heard is like a toned down black afgano. It isn't my favorite xerjoff to wear, but it works well if layered w something more interesting on top. Laylati smells like it is missing a note or two. It's like a band without a lead guitar kind of. I can only assume black afgano is the complete rock band.
And 3 years after ... it's still crazy strong. Scent I don't know what to think. Never had wish to have it but destiny decided different! So much talked it's reformulated, it's skin scent bla bla! Are you crazy? Batch '22 very very strong.
Still my favourite. I was a big fan of Pardon, but when my decant ran out, I wasn't jumping to repurchase. This my decant has been done for a while, and it's on my top buy list. I've heard it's not as good with reformulation, so I'm hoping it's not a big drop off.
Excellent review Marc. Your video/RUclips skill is at a 10. BA is dark and mysterious but if you buy it because you want weed based fragrance this is not it
30mls? It’s like the finest dining experience. So refined an consentrated, you only need 2 squirts, with 12 hrs +.❤❤❤ Appy Xmas an a very Hungover New Year’s. 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟👊👊👊🥃🥃🥃🍷🍷🍷🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🙏🙏🙏🪬🪬🪬💯💯💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

it's cool that you have old relase before reformule, respect!

I remember when Brandon asked you to review this. You finally got to it..... 👏👏👏
way too late lol
Biggie Biggie Biggie can’t you see. Sometimes these scents just hypnotize me! Love it! Respect for Biggie! Great juice! Excellent review!
Oh yeah I remember that video. Damn time flies. Marc, when’s the top 100 niche list coming out??? We need it to complement the designer list.

Fu*kin love How are you incorporated your old reaction, this is a classic Marc reaction to his favourite all-time favourite signature scent
Classic review mate. Love this juice as well. I purchased it in 2011.
I really like the fragrance but I dont think it's worth the RRP. I would have a bottle if they were cheaper/bigger for the money. Even at discounters I dont think it justifies the money and i feel insecure with a 30ml bottle. It Might run out 👀

Still need to try this one out!!! “Awesomeness” might be my favorite quote from you yet!! “OMG” - Nice video bud

Great review! It's really weird that where I live men and women LOVE this fragrance. They even wear this in hottest days 😂
Thanks for sharing!
What you think of Pardon?
I think it needs to be reviewed.
Im go end up liking it once I put it on. It's smooth and dark 2021 I just bought it no more than 3sprays. Not a everyday wear .
I have xerjoff laylati which I heard is like a toned down black afgano. It isn't my favorite xerjoff to wear, but it works well if layered w something more interesting on top. Laylati smells like it is missing a note or two. It's like a band without a lead guitar kind of. I can only assume black afgano is the complete rock band.
Many Xerjoff's feel incomplete so I hear you.
And 3 years after ... it's still crazy strong. Scent I don't know what to think. Never had wish to have it but destiny decided different!
So much talked it's reformulated, it's skin scent bla bla! Are you crazy? Batch '22 very very strong.
Take reformulation talks with a grain of salt.

One of the best!
Has it been reformulated, did you try newer bottles?
Big bold and beautiful, fantastic creation!
just bought this. I went to scentbar in NYC to buy a oud and just tried Afgano to check it out and loved it right away.
Still my favourite. I was a big fan of Pardon, but when my decant ran out, I wasn't jumping to repurchase. This my decant has been done for a while, and it's on my top buy list. I've heard it's not as good with reformulation, so I'm hoping it's not a big drop off.
Do love Black Afgano, it smells better on my partner though 😭 I also like Narcotic V. 🙂
