  • Product Info

    Boldness, refined. Wildness, controlled. A fire that never burns too hot to hold.

    This is not a fragrance for the faint-hearted.
    This is for those who understand strength, who seek beauty in shadows and elegance in power.

    At the heart of Afghanistan lies genuine wild Indonesian Oud — deep, smoky, leathery, and alive. No dilution. No pretense. Just the real thing, artisanally distilled, layer after layer of complexity unfolding as it touches skin.

    Rising against this depth is the Afghan Rose — delicate, bright, and fiercely elegant. The contrast is deliberate. Like steel wrapped in silk.

    As it moves, the composition deepens. Mysore Sandalwood, Ruh Khus, and vetiver from Indonesia and Haiti form a grounding base — green, cool, and rooted in earth. Hints of geranium, ylang ylang, and cardamom bring brief flickers of light, like a flame catching on gold. The final trail — anchored by Western Australian Sandalwood and Labdanum — is dry, warm, and impossibly smooth.

    This is Afghanistan:
    Not a place, but a presence.
    Not a scent, but a stance.
    A tribute to wild oud and the ones who wear it without fear.

          Warning Samples do not match products!

          I couldn’t be any more disappointed after spending over $500 on samples and products to find the fragrance I absolutely love and guess what it’s nothing like the quality in the Sample.

          When I received my first Afghanistan sample The oil was thick dark and luscious. The fragrance would last the entire day. After finally making the decision to spend $200 on a 3ml bottle I thought this would be exactly like my Sample and it wasn’t the product I received in the 3ml bottle had obviously been diluted down with a carrier oil. The colour was significantly different, The fragrant barely lasted the morning. I have to use three times as much.

          The thing is, I feel so ripped off. I was in for support of your products, sharing samples, recommending it to friends and family and then this happens. I would truly like an honest explanation to why this has happened.

          I would love to continue to purchase your products, but I have serious doubts over the quality.

          So sad :(

          Different to a lot of oud. Not as animalistic!
          Dry earthy fragrance with tones of honey as it mellows.

          Afghanistan

          Quite a strong smell, very masculine, strong presence of oud and tobacco with hints of sweetness and floral tones.
