Supernova

Ok I'm gonna try and make it easier for you to make your decision if you're on the fence. Ignore the complete idiots here trying to bash ATH. I was in that camp who thought this guy was probly gonna scam ppl and make money because I didn't think Aaron would be this competent a perfumer (wrong assumption without any evidence). I ordered a 10ml official decant of this and was blown away. I have over 150 frags now and counting. Now, it all comes down to this. IF you are looking for a scent in the profile of Aventus/Hacivat/Cedrat Boise/ Explorer/Supremacy NOI or even a blue scent profile like BDC or Sauvage...THIS is the one to get instead of any of them. 1: This is the highest quality. It is full, dense, complex and amazingly fresh. The bergamot and grapefruit Aaron has used on top is absolutely amazing and I haven't smelled this exact opening anywhere. 2: This is a beast performer in such a category. All of the other frags I've mentioned above have been reformulated multiple times and are now scented water. 4/5 sprays of this will last you all day and this radiates. I've gotten massive compliments from this and I never get bored of wearing it even though it is a very common scent profile. 3: This overtakes Aventus and all others in terms of scent profile alone...I FEEL. I overpaid for a 50ml bottle after the 10ml decant immediately that's how much I liked it. ATH hasn't reinvented the wheel nor done something original...sure. But he has made the best mass pleasing scent in this profile I believe and with stellar performance to back it up. You can wear this anywhere anytime and not have to think twice. When the perfumer hasn't tried to do something different....don't compare it with truly original creations. Compare it with what it is trying to achieve and he has done that with flying colors. Top notch stuff.

This fragrance does not include Black Currant, Pink Pepper, Moroccan Jasmine, Birch, Cedarwood or Ambroxan, period. Yet despite that it's being hailed as an Aventus Clone because apparently Aventus was the very first(note sarcasm) to create the note of pineapple, and if a fragrance utilizes pineapple it is automatically a clone. Is it similar to Aventus? Sure. It has a ton of citrus with bergamot, grapefruit, Mandarin orange, and orange. Aaron also added Ginger that give it added effervescence or fizziness. Instead of Ambroxan, he went the natural route with Ambergris. There is quality here which is sorely lacking in the later batches of Aventus since Creed was bought out and sold to a conglomerate. It is brighter, and scrub all you want, it'll be on your skin until you bath. It lasts all day. Is it dissimilar to Aventus? For one, it lacks that sour green note that Aventus has which I particularly cannot stand, so, props! What Supernova does smell like is a lot of Aaron's other summer banger fragrances like Guapo, and sadly the discontinued Neon.

It's about time this was on Fragrantica (it was actually launched in April 2023). One of my favourite spring/summer fragrances, although it can be worn anytime really. Lasts all day on me, even on skin, projects really well and smells amazing. I don't personally think it smells all that similar to the likes of Aventus, Hacivat, etc. I understand why it has the comparisons, but for me this does it's own thing and it stands apart, I like it more than any of those. The notes that stand out most to me are the ambergris, pineapple, grapefruit, ginger and orange. Orange is currently quite low down on the votes list which surprises me because it's quite clearly one of the prominent notes to my nose. The citrus notes in this are so juicy and mouth watering! This fragrance easily gets into my top ten and I would highly recommend. My manager in work liked it so much that she bought her partner one for his birthday! 😂 Easily worth the price tag, considering this is one of ATH's best and given the performance, £99 for 50ml isn't too bad.

Edit: Disregard absolutely everything I said previously. I wrote a negative review on this fragrance regarding its poor performance and scent profile for both me and my mate I bought it for. It used to smell like a cheap, generic Aventus clone with a smoky citrus that lasted 4 hours at most before becoming a skin scent. A month and a half after first trying it, the fragrance changed significantly. Longevity is amazing, projection is moderate to strong. It is not a clone of anything. It's not even close to being a clone of Aventus or Hacivat. To me it's closer to Elysium, but not a clone at all. Very juicy photorealistic fruits with a great ginger undertone. I get the hype now. Checked in with my friend now and he's very pleased with it too. I did not think I'd have to let an ATH fragrance macerate but if your ATH is smelling odd then just let it sit there for a month before selling. The way it is now it is a 10/10 summer fragrance for me.

A relatively strong and fresh citrus patchouli fragrance. Opening is some of the most zesty citrus I’ve smelled. Once dried the pineapple becomes more apparent and the base has loads of quality, cleanish, patchouli. The other notes like ginger and ambergris play their respective supporting roles with aplomb. Plenty of lift and sparkle. It’s a bit much for everyday but makes for nice special occasion fresh scent. Layers well w/Chanel’s og Allure or ATH’s own Ozone. I’ve been wearing this for almost a year and while I’ve restricted myself from buying new bottles until I use the ones I have, I’d break that rule for Supernova. Repeat purchase worthy.
