Black Afgano

Forbidden indulgence in a bottle.

Red Rum is dark, bold, juicy, rich gourmand fragrance that embodies a deep orange and red sunset in the Caribbean. It opens with the dark, sinful sweetness of black cherry and ripe plum, soaked in spiced rum and accented by a hint of Davana. The floral plum carries the heart, joined by a spicy and sweet combo of blonde tobacco absolute and Immortelle flower. The spiced rum is felt through all the way to the dry-down as the oak-barrel base begins to shine, layered with warm Tonka bean, golden amber, and a smoky, rich French vanilla accord. When I started in perfumery, I set out to make a fragrance that combined as many as possible of the notes that I loved in one spot, and after two years, this is the incredible result of that effort. Perfect for a cool fall night out, this fragrance is absolutely unisex, extremely sultry, addictive, and almost sinful.

Deep. Addictive. Not for the faint of taste.

From Oman to Cuba, along the Tropic of Cancer. Opus XIV Royal Tobacco by Amouage joins radiant frankincense to rich tobacco absolute, liquorice, vanilla, myrrh and oud. Regal, dark and complex, it is widely regarded as one of the great tobacco fragrances in modern niche perfumery.

The Story

Released in 2022 as part of the Library Collection and created by perfumer Cécile Zarokian, Opus XIV links Omani frankincense with Cuban tobacco traditions. Amouage describes it as a fragrant journey from Oman to Cuba, with a frankincense and tobacco accord that bursts alive; it also nods to El Lector, the readers who entertained cigar-factory workers with novels.

How It Smells

Opening
Radiant frankincense, cardamom, elemi, anise, basil and bergamot: fresh, spicy, resinous and immediately arresting.

Heart
Tobacco absolute and liquorice root form the core, warmed by fenugreek, lavender, orange blossom, osmanthus and rose for sweetness and complexity.

Dry Down
Vanilla, myrrh, benzoin, oud, birch tar, tonka bean, vetiver, guaiac wood and musks create a smoky, resinous, creamy finish, dark, sweet, spicy and extraordinarily rich.

A chapel at dusk, smoke curling through burnt wood. Bois d'Ascèse by Naomi Goodsir is a bold, meditative composition that captures the raw essence of fire, smoke and sacred ritual. Created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, it explores the beauty of destruction, where burning wood becomes something deeply spiritual and atmospheric. Dark woods, rich resins and curling incense make a scent that feels both ancient and avant-garde.

The Story

The inspiration is a wooden church in the hills of New South Wales, Australia, with the surrounding countryside on fire. The fragrance is a memory from the childhood of designer Naomi Goodsir and a tribute to her family's Scottish roots. The name translates roughly as the ascetic's wood. Unapologetically intense, it is for those who seek fragrance as an art form rather than an accessory.

How It Smells

Opening
The striking impression of smoldering wood, as if freshly burned logs were still glowing with heat. The smoke is dry, textured and almost tangible, touched by tobacco and whisky.

Heart
Church incense and resinous warmth emerge, with cinnamon and cistus labdanum, adding depth and a solemn, ritualistic feel, like a quiet cathedral filled with lingering smoke.

Dry Down
It softens slightly into ashes, warm amber, oakmoss and faint tobacco nuances, a haunting, meditative trail. This is not sweet, not clean and not conventional: pure smoke, structure and atmosphere.

A golden feast of honeyed fruit and silky tobacco. Or du Sérail by Naomi Goodsir is a sumptuous, intoxicating creation by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, inspired by the opulence and indulgence of an Eastern palace. Rich tobacco leaves, luscious fruits and flowing honey melt together in a warm, radiant composition that is decadent yet refined, balancing sweetness with depth and texture.

The Story

The inspiration is a painting by Eugène Delacroix and a rich, multifaceted tobacco. The house presents it as an oriental gourmand that evokes a Thousand and One Nights fairy tale, a golden tobacco scent made in France. Velvety, addictive and effortlessly luxurious, it envelops the wearer in a glowing aura of warmth and sensuality.

How It Smells

Opening
A burst of golden sweetness: honeyed fruits, apple, red fruit, mango, sweet orange and a soft syrupy richness that feels immediately indulgent.

Heart
A smooth, slightly smoky tobacco emerges, grounding the sweetness and adding depth, with rum, beeswax, coconut and ylang-ylang. It never becomes harsh; it feels silky and refined.

Dry Down
Warm, resinous and ambery, with oak, cedarwood, musk, maté and a vanilla-like softness, and a lingering sweetness that feels luxurious rather than overpowering.

Iris, veiled in ash and incense smoke. Iris Cendé by Naomi Goodsir is a refined, enigmatic eau de parfum that reimagines iris as something darker, more textured and quietly powerful. Cool orris and violet are wreathed in incense and a dry whisper of tobacco, over resinous labdanum and amber.

The Story

The name translates to ashen, or smoky, iris, and the composition plays on exactly that contrast. Rather than soft and powdery, iris is shown as earthy and root-like, with elegant florals veiled in smoke while resins and woods add depth and a subtle warmth that lingers on the skin. Sophisticated yet unconventional, it is a study in light and shadow, softness transformed into something hauntingly modern, a signature for those who appreciate understated luxury with an artistic edge.

How It Smells

Opening
A cool, powdery iris, smooth and elegant but never overly soft, brightened by bergamot and tangerine. Almost immediately a veil of smoke and incense wraps around it, giving a mysterious, slightly dark character.

Heart
The iris turns earthier and more root-like, blending with violet, dry woods and subtle tobacco nuances. The balance is exact: neither too floral nor too smoky.

Dry Down
A soft, lingering mix of ash, warm resins and musky iris, with cistus labdanum and amber, stays close to the skin and leaves a refined, unforgettable impression.

Soft as a leather glove, boozy with rum and immortelle. Cuir Velours by Naomi Goodsir is an intimate, luxurious take on leather, crafted by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. It softens the traditional intensity of leather into something smooth, warm and enveloping, like suede against bare skin: refined, sensual and quietly addictive.

The Story

The house sums up the idea as soft as a leather glove: a creamy leather accord layered with rum, blonde tobacco and immortelle, the strawflower whose honeyed, hay-like warmth reads like ripe fruit. Incense and labdanum add spice and subtle complexity, while amber and woods form a comforting base. Naomi Goodsir, an Australian designer who began in hat-making, founded the house in 2012.

How It Smells

Opening
Supple suede leather, smooth, creamy and inviting from the very first moment, with a boozy touch of rum.

Heart
Immortelle adds a warm, slightly honeyed glow, while soft tobacco nuances and cistus labdanum bring depth without heaviness. It remains balanced, never too sweet and never too sharp.

Dry Down
It settles into ambery warmth and skin-like softness, with incense and gentle woods creating a cozy trail.

A cave, a storm, a Havana cigar and the first light of sunset. Atardecer, Spanish for sunset, is a show-stopping extrait from Navitus that opens with green fig, violet leaves and Mexican tuberose, deepens into a trio of Laotian, Bangladeshi and Indian oud, and warms to Papantla vanilla, Chiapas coffee, Veracruz tobacco and oakmoss.

The Story

Crafted by master perfumer Christian Carbonnel with creative direction from Eduardo Garcia de Alba of MyScentJourney, Atardecer (2024) draws on Mexican ingredients. The brand's inspiration is a memory from March 1997: walking through a forest as the sky rumbles and turns grey, sheltering in a cave in the mountainside that smells of cold, mineral rock and millennia, watching rain fall as if from a window, and the aroma of wet earth filling the senses. A fire is lit to prepare coffee, a jacket still carries traces of a favourite leather-and-violet-leaf perfume, a Havana cigar saved for a special moment is lit, and its smoke mingles with the intoxicating tuberose she wears, as they wait for the rain to pass and the sunset to begin.

How It Smells

Opening
Green fig and violet leaves with Mexican tuberose, fresh and leafy before the storm of oud arrives.

Heart
An oud trifecta of Laotian, Indian and Bangladeshi oud, followed by a cool, mineral accord of wet earth, smoke, leather and cedar.

Dry Down
The base warms with Papantla vanilla, Chiapas coffee, Veracruz tobacco and oakmoss.

A candlelit evening in the Alps, bottled. Nuit de Megève is a sophisticated unisex Eau de Parfum from Eight & Bob that pairs crisp citrus freshness with warm woods, roasted coffee, smooth tobacco and creamy tonka. Refined, intimate and polished, it is made for those who appreciate quiet opulence.

The Story

Nuit de Megève is a tribute to glamorous winter nights in the French Alps, inspired by the elegance of Megève's ski lodges and candlelit evenings. The house tells of its founder Albert Fouquet, who wished to preserve an evening in 1930s Megève, a time when the resort was a high-society alternative to St. Moritz, with its mountain air and a wood fire burning in the hearth.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright bergamot and grapefruit lift the opening, with petitgrain and a touch of spice from clove buds adding a crisp, aromatic edge.

Heart
The scent deepens into a rich heart of violet and clove, with tonka bean, powdery orris and black coffee giving it a cozy, roasted warmth.

Dry Down
Earthy vetiver and smooth tobacco settle over musk, with cedar and amber leaving a soft, luxurious warmth that feels expensive and comforting.
