Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense is a bold, intensely fruity and woody fragrance with a complex profile that evolves into a rich, smoky, sweet, and spicy dry-down. The opening is bright and vibrant, dominated by black currant, apple, and bergamot, creating a juicy, slightly synthetic fruitiness that can be overwhelming for some. This fruity intensity persists through much of the wear, developing into a smoother, more balanced composition with earthy oakmoss, lavender, saffron, and ambergris. The saffron adds a unique, unorthodox sweetness that differentiates it from other Aventus-style perfumes. Despite some reports of weak performance in newer batches, most reviews confirm excellent longevity and projection, especially in cooler temperatures. On many skin types, it lasts up to 12 hours with a powerful, room-filling sillage that is a magnet for compliments. The fragrance is primarily intended for men, suitable for night wear, and fits perfectly in autumn and winter, though some may find it too sweet or heavy for summer. While it shares DNA and vibes with Hacivat and Aventus, it stands out as a distinct fragrance with its own identity, offering an impressive quality-to-price ratio.
