You get what you pay for...nice tobacco scent, but absolutely synthetic / chemical and without durability
Since I have been focusing on coffee scents in the last few weeks, I almost inevitably came across Les Perles Afghan in my search. Was a blind purchase due to the comments here and elsewhere, and the low price. And since I needed several other things anyway, I ordered Afghan (and also Tabac & Vanilla) as well
Well, when I read the other comments, I wonder if we're talking about the same perfume I find it very linear and tobacco dominates; yes, also a bit woody. It also has a pleasant, warm tobacco scent, but is absolutely synthetic/chemical. Coffee? Oud? Hashish? This obviously seems to have got lost in my edition. When I was a child, I was sometimes given empty wooden cigar boxes by a friend of my father's. That's exactly what this scent reminds me of! br />
The shelf life is very low (for an EDP!), which surprises me a bit, especially with such a synthetic scent. Often just this one H/S have that it almost knocks you down. After three hours I can only perceive the scent when I am directly on it with my nose. I tried it again this morning, so much for second chances, and after four hours it is actually no longer there. And I had sprayed myself with it quite generously.
In any description of the fragrance, someone has highlighted the cheap aluminium can as a special feature, especially to protect the precious contents from light and decay. LOL! There you see again with some fantasy you can describe even the cheapest stuff positively! Surely the can was an overproduction of some cheap deodorant or otherwise somehow cheap to get. The question arises to me why don't the big suppliers fill their fragrance in aluminium cans if it protects so well? Or is this smell so bad that it disintegrates into dust like a vampire at the first ray of sunshine? As you can see, the "bottle" occupied me more than the contents. Maybe because there is simply nothing special to say about it???
I still have the Tabac & Vanilla Tabac from Les Perles. The shelf life is a little better, but it looks like a cheap cappuccino vanilla powder to mix.
I don't really like either one of those two scents on me. But as a fragrance spray for the floor mats in the car, the Tabac & Vanilla is OK. And I will "forget" the Afghan at the next swimming pool visit in the changing room...
My conclusion: If you are looking for something cheap in this fragrance, buy the Hash Intense from LPDO. Cheap but not cheap!
