Flora Five's Black Afghano attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the dark, resinous character of Nasomatto Black Afgano. Green cannabis, davana and saffron open it; tobacco, coffee and resins smoulder underneath; then oud, incense, amber and vanilla settle in for the long haul — roughly 12–16 hours on skin.

Nasomatto Black Afgano |
How it compares. Our attar captures the recognisable Black Afgano accord — that green, smoky hashish opening sinking into coffee, incense and dark oud. Because it's a concentrated oil with no alcohol, the opening is softer (no spray "blast"), it develops more slowly, sits closer to the skin, and lasts noticeably longer than an alcohol spray.
Black Afghano is 100% alcohol-free and halal. Roll it onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears — and give it a few minutes; your body heat opens the resins and oud in stages. Keep it off white fabric, as the dark oil can leave a mark.

Frequently asked questions
What does Black Afghano smell like?
Dark, green and smoky. It opens with cannabis, davana and saffron — bitter-green rather than sweet — then tobacco, coffee and resins take over the heart. The drydown is oud, incense, amber and a whisper of vanilla. It reads brooding and mysterious rather than fresh, and it is unmistakable in a room.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 12–16 hours on skin. The resins, oud and amber in the base are heavy, tenacious materials, so the drydown often survives a full workday and into the night. On clothing the trace can linger even longer, though we recommend applying to skin for the truest development.
How is Flora Five's version different from the original Black Afgano?
The original is an alcohol-based extrait that projects hard from the first spray. Ours is a concentrated perfume oil: it opens quietly, unfolds the cannabis-to-oud arc more gradually, and wears closer to the body while outlasting the spray. It is also fully alcohol-free and halal, at a fraction of the price.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
The 3 ml is a sensible trial for such an intense scent — a single swipe is enough, so even the small bottle lasts weeks. Move to 6 ml once you know you love it; the 12 ml is the best value per ml for anyone making this a signature winter fragrance.
