FINALLY... a fragrance comparison video where the reviewers refer to the fragrances by name fairly consistently. Too many videos are filled with "this" and "this," and "this one" and "this one." GREAT JOB! And Ashley certainly brings the knowledge. Looking forward to seeing more of her on the channel.
Simple and very easy to understand comparison between the two. The blind test was certainly a nice addition. Thanks Seb & Ashley and looking forward to your next comparison video!
Black afgano takes me to an ancient city bazaars that field with bakhoor , oud , hookah tobacco & hand made rose soaps & I simply love it . I just revived a 10 ml amouge fate man & it reminded me of BA & I am liking it as much . Laudano Nero sounds interesting to try for sure because I love boozy scents . Thank you guys for this sweet review as always !
The booziness is a bit different in LN because of it being cognac and also because of what it's mixed with and how much of it there is. It kind of melds with the dark honey note. It stands out amongst boozy fragrances where its whisky or rum and it really smells like that spirit. Here there are so many notes that its more of a part of the blend rather than being in the spotlight.
I've had Laudano Nero for nearly two years and could never quite put my finger on what was happening. I really love a strong cannabis accord in my frags and very seldom is it accurate or even present. I like them both differently! Thanks for a great review! Thanks Ashley!
Great video guys. Black Afgano is my all time favorite fragrance so I am very curious to check out the Terenzi. It also took me a while to pick up the cannabis note in B.A.
It was a great comparison. I owned a L. Nero and I love wearing it during winter. On the other hand, I haven’t tried Black Afgano. Stay safe Sebastian and Ashley
I like L/ Nero more. It's complex, smoky and boozy. I get a boozy dried fruit Accord. B/Afgano is great dark hasshishy but I find it harder to wear. Great review.
I'm on my second bottle of Black Afgano and the earlier bottle (purchased 2011) compared to my recent purchase (2019) had much stronger sillage and staying power on the skin. You can note the dilution in colour alone. A little disappointed to be honest but it still smells amazing.
What a fantastic review. Thank you, both. Have them both and while I find thread of similarities, I do smell the differences and enjoy them, both. Again, thank you!
Great review. I have a hard time wearing Laudano Nero out because just don't know wear it fits for me. It's much different than Black Afgano. LN is just a huge frag for me! Ashley has a great nose! Thanks for the review.
Last week at the mall they showed me Black Afgano and I didn’t like it too much at first but I kept the paper strip and back home I sensed the smell and REALLY liked it but nobody else liked it 😢 it’s pretty expensive for me if I’m the only one who will enjoy it
never tried BA.own and love LN.i have laudano nero ,lillipur ,marrema ,orion from TT. love them all.TT fragrances ,i think, are the best in that price range and up, that you can buy.quality ingredients,not harsh ,long lasting....thank you
Nasomatto’s Black Afghano!, Ashley is right, it is more refined and it is because of the quality of the raw materials, hence triple the price. Great video!
From what I remember from college days in uk, hash from Afghanistan or Pakistan was black, Lebanon area of origin it was red, and Moroccan was gold. Hence the name!
I like both perfumes. Laudano Nero is piercing, 1 spray and I am done....and I like the cognac in it. But I like Black Afgano, strong, rough, heavy, smokey;-) They smell different. Completely different.
Not fan of beast mode fragrances, I kind of feel weird when my fragrances projects loudly. I worried people think i oversprayed even tho I only used 2 sprays
I hear ya..it gives me anxiety lol. There's several frags I own that 1 spray is overbearing at my work. Technically I've only been called out once, but I know people talk. I think it's so odd when you absolutely cannot smell your fragrance (not nose blind) and others compliment you 🤔
then dilute the perfume or use only one spray. I don't understand people that like lighter fragrances, you can dilute a strong frag but you cannot strengthen a weak one...
Enjoyed this comparison video. According to me (and that's all that matters - LOL!) I don't see that much similarity between the two other (Nere is much sweeter and boozier) than they're both fine fragrances and in the same zipcode. I own Laudano Nero for and not Black Afgano for a few reasons: 1) I don't mind the beast mode because I just spray one-quarter to one-half spray under the shirt 2) my girlfriend loves it and it receive more favorable comments 3) I have a couple inexpensive fragrances that remind me quite a bit of Black Afgano. Excellent comparison.
Ashley's comparison is a little unfair to Paolo Terenzi since Ashley clearly has some fond, personal scent memories with Black Afgano. Even though her views are biased (I suppose all of our views on fragrance are pretty biased.) and she's fond of the mild, simple, and understated, she's still quite eloquent and is able to describe her preferences and the fragrance nuances well. Personally, I think Laudano Nero is one of the best fragrances I've ever smelled! Paolo Terenzi is certainly a master of perfumery!
I feel I psychically willed this video into existence. Only kidding. Seriously, I'd enjoy hearing her opinion after having WORN both fragrances. Most seasoned reviewers, perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts will readily admit that scents are VASTLY different on the skin than on paper. However, I truly enjoyed hearing you both discuss these beloved gems for those 'in tha know'. And giving a tantalizing introduction to those who may be new to these scent creations. Honors, Mosiah
Just got my nose on Laudano Nero tonight, I get a lot of ashy tobacco and as it dried down it reminds me a lot of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. Different scents but a lot of crossover. Not smelt BA yet, have tried Sospiro Laylati though and that has a similar vibe but more clean musk in it its not as dark as Laudano Nero.
I'm glad she stick to her guns It started to look like he was pushing an a tiziana terenzi send this fragrances infomercials Fortunately or unfortunately I have an inside info how all this youtuber works
Glad to see Ashley back! Have you ever compared it with Alexandria Fragrances Anubis Kiss? I am curious about the cannabis note. I had not considered Laudano Nero until now, although I do not normally consider myself tending toward sweet fragrances. I have been really wanting to try Black Afgano. The waiting is over (after this video!). Thanks, you two. Great review.
Bernie777 I sampled Black Afgano in a perfume shop in Miami I liked it a lot bought Anubis Kiss and when I tell you they are near identical I mean it. If you sprayed both on skin it would be hard for most people to tell them apart.
Both are in same category of smell,,, but is day and night between!!! Laudano it is more sweet,,,, its more like cough syrup!!!! And also Laudano Nero is more powerfull Laudano nero i like and Black Afgano i love it,,,, i wear in any season...
I’ve gotta say Sebastian, I’ve smelled Black Afghano, was totally nasty 🤢, but Tiziana Terenzi after Kilian has been my longest lasting perfume ever especially for the price, the Rise one in specific. I think that Nasamato is very very overrated. I’m glad you did this video though, because the viewers need to see the exposure of Tiziana, also thanks to your video on Traversee du Bosphore I just bought it, keep up the awesome 👏🏼 videos and tips Sebastian these are not just Perfumes, but investments, check out Alfaransi.com when you get a chance I think you will appreciate his Attars, see you again 🤝🤝🤝
Sheesh I just got a sample and man, you guys aren't kidding about the beast mode! I can't believe how potent this stuff is! Insane! As usual though with incense notes, they just dominate everything else on my skin so that all 5 or 6 colognes I have that contain incense notes basically smell identical in the dry down. Bummer. This smells almost exactly like dark rebel on me. I can scarcely tell them apart. This smells cleaner. But it smells like a head shop. That's pretty much it. I feel like I could get some hippie oil from the head shop and smell the exact same for like $5 lol. As for the cannabis note - to me it smells like bong water. Not so great. I feel like way WAY too many colognes have incense lately, I guess it's just all the ones I've been trying.
Firstly....thank you Sebastian for your 20 niche fragrance review last week.....oh boy Incident Dilpomatique compliments blowing very big on me thesedays...Ashley was gorgeous when she close her eyes during review n her mouth became small too Hehehe nice to watch.....not to forget ur previous review on YVRA 1958 is on its way to Doha probably this week....thx for that review too........
The problem with Black Afgano is that it fades away EXTREMELY quick. Like within one to two hours you can barely smell it unless you put your nose in contact with the skin. A shame, cause i love the smell.
I swear....you could sell me literal feces in a bottle of urine. Lol. Sooo fine. I watch each and every video you post. I could watch you all day. 🥰😘❤️
FINALLY... a fragrance comparison video where the reviewers refer to the fragrances by name fairly consistently. Too many videos are filled with "this" and "this," and "this one" and "this one." GREAT JOB! And Ashley certainly brings the knowledge. Looking forward to seeing more of her on the channel.
Ashley's insightful take and her descriptions are really thought provoking. Her being a student of perfumery is definitely showing. thank you both!
Thank you.
Simple and very easy to understand comparison between the two. The blind test was certainly a nice addition. Thanks Seb & Ashley and looking forward to your next comparison video!
Black Afgano BIG LIKE! I think it might become my signature scent❤
I think I’m falling in love!!! 😍❤️ Ashley is such an amazing guest!!! Her smile just knocks me off my feet!!! ☮️🖖🏽
Black afgano takes me to an ancient city bazaars that field with bakhoor , oud , hookah tobacco & hand made rose soaps & I simply love it . I just revived a 10 ml amouge fate man & it reminded me of BA & I am liking it as much . Laudano Nero sounds interesting to try for sure because I love boozy scents . Thank you guys for this sweet review as always !
This scent does take me to a souq or a bazaar towards the bakhour/oud shop. When I pair it with spice bomb, I'm a walking bazaar wherever i go lmao
The booziness is a bit different in LN because of it being cognac and also because of what it's mixed with and how much of it there is. It kind of melds with the dark honey note. It stands out amongst boozy fragrances where its whisky or rum and it really smells like that spirit. Here there are so many notes that its more of a part of the blend rather than being in the spotlight.
Def strong fate man and tobacco oud link with both black afgano and laudano. Not sure on what is my fav of bunch. Perhaps fate man.
Ashley is SO knowledgeable and I love getting her input. It's she still working with perfume? If i remember correctly, she was going to school for it.
She's in perfume school in Paris yes! :)
I've had Laudano Nero for nearly two years and could never quite put my finger on what was happening. I really love a strong cannabis accord in my frags and very seldom is it accurate or even present. I like them both differently! Thanks for a great review! Thanks Ashley!
Absolutely love Black Afgano! Need to check out Laudano Nero out of curiosity. Great insight from both of you
Sounds to me like Black Afgano wins in this review!
Excellent comparing the two, i appreciate it. I must test the Tiziana Terenzi now. Thanks Sebastian.
Interesting that I never thought to compare this two, to me they sound absolutely different
great review Sebastian and Ashley I love Laudano Nero like Black Afgano
Great video guys. Black Afgano is my all time favorite fragrance so I am very curious to check out the Terenzi. It also took me a while to pick up the cannabis note in B.A.
It was a great comparison. I owned a L. Nero and I love wearing it during winter.
On the other hand, I haven’t tried Black Afgano. Stay safe Sebastian and Ashley
I have bought a decant of LN and now ordered a decant of Black Afgano. I am really curious for that one.
Great review! You really should have Ashley on more often.
Thank you, here's an entire playlist of videos I have shot with Ashley: th-cam.com/play/PLWU-mtcVz4psbhp-YtgY48lqrKfGWc7fb.html
She’s adorable and exudes feminine qualities, elegant and graceful.
I totally agree with you! Such a woman and a lady. Super soft qualities.
I like L/ Nero more. It's complex, smoky and boozy. I get a boozy dried fruit Accord. B/Afgano is great dark hasshishy but I find it harder to wear. Great review.
Great idea for a video,dark scents reviews are always welcome
I'm on my second bottle of Black Afgano and the earlier bottle (purchased 2011) compared to my recent purchase (2019) had much stronger sillage and staying power on the skin. You can note the dilution in colour alone. A little disappointed to be honest but it still smells amazing.
What a fantastic review. Thank you, both. Have them both and while I find thread of similarities, I do smell the differences and enjoy them, both. Again, thank you!
I really enjoy the 2 of you together. Truly enjoyed and Black Afgano All the way
Great review. I have a hard time wearing Laudano Nero out because just don't know wear it fits for me. It's much different than Black Afgano. LN is just a huge frag for me! Ashley has a great nose! Thanks for the review.
Featuring how its supposed to be - Ashley is not only nice and beautiful, but also intelligent, sensible and really knows what shes talking about
I feel laudanoNero rough and ashy, the ash is cold and unpleasant for me. Therefore I prefer blackAfgano in spite of it's sweetness.
Love Ashley!
More Ashley plsss!
Last week at the mall they showed me Black Afgano and I didn’t like it too much at first but I kept the paper strip and back home I sensed the smell and REALLY liked it but nobody else liked it 😢 it’s pretty expensive for me if I’m the only one who will enjoy it
I've tried both of these and it was really hard to chose one of them. First I bought Laudano Nero
Great comparison review. Like both of your intakes. I haven’t smelled either
Thanks and hope to see more videos like this ✌🏻
Both are amazing, Laudano is more wearable.
Great vid.
Appreciate it! :)
never tried BA.own and love LN.i have laudano nero ,lillipur ,marrema ,orion from TT. love them all.TT fragrances ,i think, are the best in that price range and up, that you can buy.quality ingredients,not harsh ,long lasting....thank you
Nasomatto’s Black Afghano!, Ashley is right, it is more refined and it is because of the quality of the raw materials, hence triple the price. Great video!
Never heard of them. Now I'll be on the look for them.
From what I remember from college days in uk, hash from Afghanistan or Pakistan was black, Lebanon area of origin it was red, and Moroccan was gold. Hence the name!
It’s brown and green like my jopchoy
I like both perfumes. Laudano Nero is piercing, 1 spray and I am done....and I like the cognac in it. But I like Black Afgano, strong, rough, heavy, smokey;-) They smell different. Completely different.
What if you could only pick one?
Just to let you know. Black afgano does not have a cannabis note. It has a hashish note. The two scents are completely different.
I almost said I was given a sample of Black Afgano when I went to Lucky Scent but then I just realized it was Bal d'Afrique!
Wow you both make these two sound excellent. Must try.
Great video guy's. Interesting comparisons.
Ashley. Amazing.
Not fan of beast mode fragrances, I kind of feel weird when my fragrances projects loudly.
I worried people think i oversprayed even tho I only used 2 sprays

Jim R on point bro.

I feel I psychically willed this video into existence. Only kidding. Seriously, I'd enjoy hearing her opinion after having WORN both fragrances.

Ashley is stunningly pretty.
Now you should do black afgano vs Xerjoffs laylati. Personally prefer laylati, gorgeous scent
OOH. Okay will look into that for sure! :)
Hi Sebastian. Which do you like more? Ecstasy or laudano Nero?
I own both, Laudano Nero is the best and a beastmode scent. Ecstasy is decent, but not as strong, or striking.
Great review bro
Thank you! :)
Wow! I really impressed of you! Thank you for the video!
She's smelt black afgano before so what was the point of a blind test.
Ashley is a stunner! Were you guys talking about perfume or something?
brilliant video I basically have to own both but want Nero first
Both are relly smell like real niche fragrance,,,,, both houses are really great,,,, tiziana i like it nasomatto i love it
Good team. Ashley is brilliant.
Just got my nose on Laudano Nero tonight, I get a lot of ashy tobacco and as it dried down it reminds me a lot of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. Different scents but a lot of crossover. Not smelt BA yet, have tried Sospiro Laylati though and that has a similar vibe but more clean musk in it its not as dark as Laudano Nero.
Thanks. Really though... Black Laudanum and Black Afgano... How can it not be conceptually inspired?
Ashley is cute
She got married
I find black afgano similar to Fortis from leqiudes imaginares , have you tried it? It’s more wearable 😊
Yes of course. LI is a very underrated house for sure! :)
Okay,you two got me,I’ll try both.😊
Drew branch, i recently tried xerjoff Alexandria II it is a bit similar to those , worth trying 😊
I'm glad she stick to her guns
It started to look like he was pushing an a tiziana terenzi send this fragrances infomercials
Fortunately or unfortunately I have an inside info how all this youtuber works
Laudano Nero is a piece of art . Nero was the emperor of Rome and also known as a craziest guy who burn Rome 🔥 .
That's why you feel the smokie smell.
Glad to see Ashley back! Have you ever compared it with Alexandria Fragrances Anubis Kiss? I am curious about the cannabis note. I had not considered Laudano Nero until now, although I do not normally consider myself tending toward sweet fragrances. I have been really wanting to try Black Afgano. The waiting is over (after this video!). Thanks, you two. Great review.
Thank you and no have not smelled Anubis Kiss unfortunately! :)
It's on my to do list for February.
Bernie777 I sampled Black Afgano in a perfume shop in Miami I liked it a lot bought Anubis Kiss and when I tell you they are near identical I mean it. If you sprayed both on skin it would be hard for most people to tell them apart.
Both are in same category of smell,,, but is day and night between!!! Laudano it is more sweet,,,, its more like cough syrup!!!! And also Laudano Nero is more powerfull Laudano nero i like and Black Afgano i love it,,,, i wear in any season...
must check laudanonero...
Black Afgano!
LN is to SWEET,,,,,the BA its well balance,,,,
Is this better for women or man side ?!
It's definitely more masculine! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews what about Maremma?!
Less masculine! Here watch this video: th-cam.com/video/m1e7b82Lrrg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much 😊
Ashley 😍
I met TT. Nose, He's very close to The Nose.......of Naso, Thats it. Al did T a favor.....
I’ve gotta say Sebastian, I’ve smelled Black Afghano, was totally nasty 🤢, but Tiziana Terenzi after Kilian has been my longest lasting perfume ever especially for the price, the Rise one in specific.

Thank you! :)
So.... Congrats on the wedding Mrs Ashley.
Cannabis*
Tea test
did you record everything in the same day?, or she really likes that shirt?.
YES
More similar to Gucci intense Oud.
double down on the darkness
Hmmm. Interesting.
Sheesh I just got a sample and man, you guys aren't kidding about the beast mode! I can't believe how potent this stuff is! Insane!

LN have nothing alike BA.
Gucci intense oud is exactly BA
i have both and its not the same... are diferent
gucci intense oud is alike BA just in opening,,, have both..... and only in the opening are the same,,,,after nothing alike
Laudano Nero smells almost exactly like Bentley Intense to me sadly.
Ashley.....I’m beast mode...you would like me. Lol
5:25 👮♀️ 🚑 🚒
LN has a word and cloying rubbery smell. I wanted to like it but gave it away
I swear....you could sell me literal feces in a bottle of urine. Lol. Sooo fine. I watch each and every video you post. I could watch you all day. 🥰😘❤️
Btw, I just realized I wasn’t subscribed until now. Sorry bout that.❤️
To me smells more like vodka on the rocks from the house of Kilian.
Interesting!!
BA is not beast anymore
Interlude man has ash in it
Fragrance community 😅
with Laudano Nero you can drunk,,,, becouse its fucking boozy
terenzi is a male
Paolo Terenzi is a male yes Tiziana Terenzi is a female! :)
I bet Ashley's farts actually smell good 😃
