Supremacy Noir
by Afnan
Supremacy Noir is a sharply focused, woody-aromatic fragrance with a cool green edge. Its opening is crisp and inviting—bergamot and spruce meet a faintly sweet violet and pine, creating a fresh, forest-like atmosphere. The heart carries a dry, leathery warmth bolstered by lavender and earthy patchouli, while labdanum adds a volatile, resinous depth that lingers like old shoes in a storeroom. While the scent has character and a modern, masculine elegance, its performance is inconsistent. Many note mediocre longevity and moderate sillage, which undermines the fragrance despite its rich composition. The scent is often described as a darker, leaner cousin to Bottega Veneta PH—sacrificing nuance for intensity, and echoing Versace Oud Noir in its darker woody-ambery trail. It’s best suited for mature wearers who appreciate a quietly powerful, forest-borne masculinity.
