A fragrance that can become tiring, perhaps due to the hype and the mass use of Creed or fragrances from that line. In my case, batch 2021/22, it lasts 7 hours on skin, longer on clothes, with great projection. It’s a mix between Creed and Nishane Hacivat; I’d say it’s a more oriental or spiced Creed, perfect for summer, autumn, and winter thanks to its spiced touch. Be careful in summer and use few sprays. Excellent quality for the price. If you’re looking for the CDNI style, skip it and go for the Supremacy, which offers better quality and performance. For the price, I would buy it, but in my case, it saturates me, so I’ll use it occasionally. I always receive compliments when wearing it.
My first Afnan alongside the 9am; I love it and the performance is brutal. I haven’t tried Nishane, but I have tried Creed Aventus, and there is quite a similarity. I love the scent, the presentation, and the projection, though I need to test the longevity. It’s very good.
I know neither Hacivat nor Aventus, but I must say it lasts a beast; although you stop feeling it yourself, others definitely notice it. Great scent.
Beautiful, strong, and potent opening, citrusy, not quite Creed, then it settles and resembles it greatly. Heavy sillage, very noticeable, ideal for summer nights or dates. Regular with applications to avoid overwhelming, as being an extract makes it very intense. Suitable for ages 30/35.
I was looking for a Hacivat dupe in this decant and didn’t find it. Anyone wanting Hacivat will have to spend their dollars because Hawas doesn’t smell the same, and Al Dana smells like a fly swatter. For those unfamiliar with similar scents: smoky, citrusy, and rough opening. It’s a good aroma that later settles into a scent I don’t like, like old man’s clothes. For those who know: the opening resembles the CDNI but is fruitier and less smoky. Its evolution takes on smoky notes, and the drydown is very similar to Montblanc Explorer thanks to that dirty ambroxan. It’s rich, but not that much; unfortunately, it’s mediocre.
It has a beautiful DNA, one of the few where putting your nose directly on the application feels entirely pleasant.
To simplify: since it’s an Aventus dupe, we must discuss differences. The opening is identical, but as it dries quickly, a patchouli moss emerges that dominates the fruity notes, giving it a mature, serious smokiness typical of men over 40. That note takes away some youthful appeal, making it smell like a maths teacher’s scent. It’s a more elegant alternative to other inspirations, ideal for formal occasions. Sillage and performance are 10/10; it lasts about 7 hours on skin with good projection. Recommended if you’re looking for something formal with that DNA.
Aventus/Nishane DNA but less versatile and more mature. It’s a rich scent, but I see it for those over 35-40; at 24, it smells like a 50-year-old on me, probably due to the patchouli moss and saffron. The opening is rich, but the development becomes smoky and earthy, very mature for my taste. It has excellent value and performance as an EDP. If you want versatility, the CDNI EDP is better, though it’s a great alternative to that cloned DNA. Armaf NOI remains one of the best clones.
I see it as an Aventus that swaps its bright freshness for a sweet acidity evolving into something mossy, earthy (with incense tints, as if worn by smokers) and musky. It’s the most formal, dark, and elegant in the line. Women don’t find it instantly charming; personally, I’d recommend the Explorer for dates or casual wear.
I was expecting something more potent than Supremacy Silver, but this is smokier and mossier. Despite that, I absolutely love the scent. The performance is surprising: it’s not a beast at first, but a restrained fragrance that lasts incredibly long. It doesn’t smell synthetic or cheap; it stands up to expensive fragrances, and the price is excellent.
Incredible what you get at this Afnan price point. It reminds me a lot of Cedrat Boise minus the vanilla-anise type note, but this is heavier on the smokiness. In terms of longevity, it easily lasts around 8 hours, and I’ve been told it can still be felt at about 3 metres even after 4 hours. Given the cost and the aroma, I feel it’s a better option than Club de Nuit, Vibrant Leather or Explorer. In quality it surpasses CDN, in longevity it beats Zara and in price it outdoes Explorer; I’d say the quality feels similar. I’d compare it more to Hacivat than Aventus, although with so many batches of the latter, who knows. I’d wear it between casual and semi-formal, more in the afternoon than at night, and I wouldn’t wear it in the mornings. All weathers, despite the fruity notes, the smokiness gives it a fairly mature touch, so I’d recommend it for over 25s.
It has the Aventus DNA but doesn’t produce the same effect. Aventus is a gentleman, whereas SNOI is quite a rough Viking. Aventus is made to please; it’s a rounded, sweeter and notably kinder aroma. SNOI is sharper, citrusy, marine and smokier, more of everything, but not better. It’s nothing subtle; it doesn’t please everyone; it’s overwhelming and even too strong for summer. My favourite point is the change a single DNA can undergo when the notes are tweaked (not subtly, though). Probably the best performance in my collection alongside Atlas. I love it.
SUPREMACY in all caps. Very similar to both Aventus and Nishane. It performs and projects incredibly, from the opening all the way through to the dry-down. The packaging is a work of art. It doesn’t feel synthetic AT ALL. So much quality at a RIDICULOUS price. Club de Nuit doesn’t even come close; Supremacy NOI radiates quality and lacks that synthetic opening found in CDN. A safe blind buy, suitable for people aged 25-40 due to its woody notes. Occasionally, you can detect Dior Homme Sport, then the Aventus DNA emerges. MARVELLOUS. 10/10.
Supremacy Not Only Intense is a work of quality from Afnan, clearly inspired by Nishane’s Hacivat. It takes that Aventus-style DNA and adds a mossy touch that gives it a distinctive and interesting appeal. The evolution from the opening to the dry-down is rich and captivating; with this perfume, compliments will rain down. Its performance is more than acceptable and its value for money is excellent. I recommend it wholeheartedly; it’s a true delight.
I’m writing this review from the perspective of a novice. I think it should be bumped up a couple of notches in the citrus and fresh spicy category, and dialled down slightly in the fruity category. The opening is totally refreshing; I perceive lots of bergamot, above the cranberry and to a lesser extent green apple. A fairly potent opening; it permeates the room with just a couple of sprays. As the opening notes fade, the moss appears. I get the impression of being in a damp forest, misty or mysterious, not a fresh and radiant one. I like this dark forest that it projects. As it dries down, it combines with the skin’s pH to give a very musky scent, along with ambergris, a very masculine sensation. In terms of longevity, no problems; I can still smell it after 7-8 hours. It’s a fragrance with great longevity and a wide trail. It announces its arrival from afar. I find it ideal for spring and summer; I’ve only tested it during the day. I’m not much of a fan of trendy Arabic fragrances, but Afnan did VERY WELL with this Supremacy Not Only Intense; it’s great value for money.
Very rich and long-lasting aroma, doesn’t smell synthetic, generates compliments and its trail is excellent. One of my favourites.
How does this compare to Nishane Hacivat? I’ve tried Hacivat and they are nothing alike. This is just another Aventus copy.
I can’t see any difference between this and Club de Nuit Intense EDT.
I don’t understand those who say this is a dupe of Hacivat. It’s not a bad perfume; it’s more of a youthful Aventus, slightly sweetened by pineapple, less smoky but rougher, more earthy thanks to the cranberry and woods. From Hacivat, it only has a touch of moss. I looked for a Hacivat dupe; the scent isn’t similar but I’m not regretting it because it’s very good; I see it as more formal. Its quality is good, though if you’re seeking a Hacivat dupe, I’d lean more towards Hawas Black; that one actually resembles it.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I expected. I imagined it to be much fruitier, but to be honest, the fruity notes last very little, about ten minutes at most. Then I perceive more smoky and mossy notes. And unfortunately, it doesn’t last long on me, only about six hours. Still, you can tell it’s of good quality.
Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan is superb! I’ve been buying it for over four years; that’s twelve bottles. To me, it’s the ultimate Afnan fragrance. It’s perfect for people with a very acidic skin pH between 5.5 and 6.8; it gives a fresh feel and a long-lasting scent. I’m looking for it right now to buy another one.
Comparing Aventus clones (without having tried the original), among Club de Nuit EDT/EDP, L’Adventure and Afnan’s Supremacy, the latter is my favourite for its aromatic quality, followed by Al Haramain’s. It’s slightly sweeter, mossier and longer-lasting. It has an air of nobility; honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under 30.
I know this is just my personal experience, but Supremacy Not Only Intense didn’t meet my expectations despite everything I’d read. I bought it from an authorised Afnan distributor in Mexico that sells genuine products and has good reviews. The scent was lovely: blackcurrants with bergamot at the start, followed by that rich smoky musk and patchouli. It’s rich and captivating, but it only lasted 4 hours on my skin with a trail of just one hour. On blotter it doesn’t fade, seeming like an extract, yet it doesn’t last longer; I have another Afnan EDP that does. It’s a ‘best mode’ fragrance that simply didn’t work on my skin; it has a moderate and soft trail. I’ll check if my pH is the problem; I think it needs an acidic pH between 5 and 6. For now, the scent is wonderful.
I liked it quite a bit at first, but with wear and oxidation, once it dried down it became very similar to any Vibrant Leather, even to the point of smelling vulgar. Honestly, I think Club de Nuit Intense goes too far, even if it performs less, while inspirations like Rasasi Hacivat Hawas Black or Lattafa Al Dana are infinitely better. The longevity and projection are excellent.
Why so much pineapple? Where do you get it, Vikings? Clearly, to gather the finest elixir for a feast… it seems we were left with dessert pineapple, without the currants or apple. Thus begins SNOI: a powerful, vivid fruit explosion, like opening a juicy pineapple, without the cloying syrup of certain niche scents. It is sweet, yes, but fresh, vibrant, and slightly smoky, a sun-ripened fruit. Curiously, this pineapple, the absolute protagonist, isn’t listed in the notes, a mystery that heightens its impact. Then comes the transition: the Vikings, after the revelry, sit down, quiet. This is my favourite part, the dry-down: a vetiver or that oakmoss that rises with aplomb. Rich, dry, deep, like fertile earth. It embraces and tames the remaining sweetness, transforming it into character. Here everything elevates, revealing a mature and seductive profile, intimate and close. I think it’s totally unisex; I see it as slightly masculine, serene and seductive. Very versatile: day, work, special occasions. For me, it’s even more cheerful at night. The longevity is notable: four to six hours in summer, possibly up to ten in winter, but I’ll confirm later. The box hints at it: ‘This is Supremacy, but not just any. Not the one who shouts the loudest, but the one who masters their strength.’ True luxury, genuine niche. In this market, it seems a battle between houses like Afnan and Armaf, a parallelism even in the names: ‘Supremacy Not Only Intense’ and ‘Club de Nuit Intense’. It often reminds me of the ADN Aventus, but beware, it’s Absolu. Creed Absolu, however beautiful it may sound, is for me pineapple in syrup with second-hand shame. Here, the fruit lives, sparkles and transforms with nobility. I won’t speak of Hacivat as I haven’t tried it; I suspect it will be another marvel. For now, SNOI already has a place among my favourites. An unexpected find that turns an accessible price into an olfactory treasure.
An elegant and easy-to-wear scent. It begins with a soft, fresh touch that melts into a warm, comforting base. The blend is fluid and well-integrated, ideal for day or night. It’s not overpowering, but leaves a subtle trail that others notice. While it doesn’t stand out as a statement fragrance, it’s a safe and classic choice for everyday wear or casual outings. Perfect for those who prefer understated sophistication.
I wish that predominant synthetic smell wasn’t so aggressive. It floods rooms with just two sprays. True that it improves a bit as it dries and lasts a long time, unlike designer fragrance reformulations that turn great perfumes into dripping water. I didn’t know what to do with it, but my brother-in-law loved it and I gifted it to him.
I absolutely love it. The opening smells like Aventus but then it deepens and becomes much stronger. I imagine that’s why people say it’s similar to Nishan; I’ve never tried it, but now I’m dying to give it a go. It lasts over 8 to 10 hours and the projection is brutal, lasting a good 4 or 5 hours on my skin.
I love it; it smells very strongly of pineapple at first, but soon transitions to smoky, dominating until the end. The girls at work generally don’t like it much. On my part, the longevity and sillage aren’t spectacular as most claim, even though I apply it to my clothes.
November 2024 batch: after reading so much, I expected more. It smells just like Club de Nuit Urban, but less potent. I’ve only worn it for three days and it’s not the marvel everyone claimed. I’ll let it macerate for a few months to see, though it lasts over six hours and my mother can smell it from two metres away with the wind at my back. If you don’t have notes like this, buy it and wait; if I were to recommend it again, I’d buy it once more because I like it, but I wouldn’t say it’s anyone’s perfume of the year. As with all Arabic fragrances, you need to let it settle before commenting again.
I think this fragrance is very good; I was hesitant to buy it as the recent batches weren’t lasting, but what a surprise. Six sprays are more than enough for enclosed spaces; it can become a bit overwhelming. One thing I notice a lot is that when I step outside and return to the car within 10 minutes, the fragrance is perceived strongly; in my opinion, it generates a bit of olfactory fatigue. In summary, after using it for over a month, it lasts about 6 to 7 hours; the scent lingers on clothes and sheets and doesn’t go away until the second wash. Regarding projection and trail, I consider them very good, but one must be careful with the number of sprays, as it can attract too much attention and annoy people nearby. In short, an excellent perfume, very masculine; I’d say it leans towards citrus but doesn’t fully develop it due to the mossy notes it contains. 9/10
You buy Lattafa’s Qaed al Fursan and save 30 euros. It smells exactly the same.
Excellent perfume. For me, much better in every way than the Collector’s Edition (if you’re looking for something more masculine). No intention to offend the previous review, but this has nothing to do with Qaed al Fursan, which is a sugared pineapple syrup (I find it quite feminine). That said, like anything excessively sweet, it projects and lasts well.
For the price you can get it, it’s an excellent fragrance. Good scent, good longevity, good projection. Longevity of 6 to 8 hours without any issues.
What can I say? It’s a fragrance that I simply love. From the sweet and citrusy opening at the same time, with a delicious pineapple, to its evolution into something more woody and a sophisticated aroma. 100% masculine, though I must say I’ve never received a compliment for this scent. I recommend trying it before buying and thinking whether you want compliments or to carry a scent you choose for personal taste. It lasts about 7 to 9 hours on skin (depending on skin chemistry), with great longevity close to the skin. And a projection of easily 2 hours.
Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan stands out as an exceptionally balanced masculine fragrance, capable of combining a fresh, attractive fruity top note, an elegant aromatic heart, and a warm, sensual, and persistent base. This well-structured olfactory evolution allows it to offer a complete, dynamic, and sophisticated experience from the first spray to its final dry-down. Its performance is one of its greatest strengths: the longevity is notably superior to the average, with a firm but well-controlled trail, making it a reliable fragrance for long days without the need for constant reapplication. This behaviour makes it especially valued in both professional settings and social or evening occasions. In terms of versatility, it positions itself as an ‘all-rounder’. It works well for daily use, projects confidence and presence in work contexts, and adds a seductive and elegant touch to special events. This adaptability considerably expands its target audience and reinforces its commercial appeal. Finally, its quality-price ratio is one of the factors explaining its popularity: it offers sensations, performance, and olfactory complexity typical of high-end fragrances while maintaining an accessible price. Overall, Supremacy Not Only Intense not only meets expectations but exceeds them, consolidating itself as a strategic option for those seeking character, professionalism, and olfactory effectiveness in a single fragrance.
Hello, excellent perfume, one of the best in terms of longevity and trail. Just apply a little or it will be overwhelming.
It was a blind buy. At first, I thought I’d thrown my money away because when sprayed, it smelled exactly like the Nitro Intense by Dumont, which is good, but I wasn’t looking for something identical. Then suddenly, the moss notes started emerging, along with that exquisite masculine charm—greener and less sweet than the Nitro. As for the trail, I feel that every so often the scent comes back intensely; it goes and returns, making it perfect for work and everyday wear. Despite being intense, it performs very well in the heat. I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone 27 and above; it’s a quality-price jewel and a true all-rounder. I picked up a tester for $30.
Of all the perfumes I own, this is the one people ask about the most. Beyond the compliments, I’d add that it’s one of my top five favourites for the rest of my life.
Clean and mossy; at first, it might not hook you or a younger crowd, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a lifelong love. The longevity is extreme; you can tell it’s an extract. In return, you sacrifice a bit of projection: about 1 or 2 hours of projecting for miles, then it settles to a bubble of a metre and stays close to the skin. Honestly, my favourite perfume. Versatile, elegant, clean. Every man should have this or its younger, more fun counterpart, the Supremacy Collector’s Edition; they are the crown jewels of the line.
