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.

The famous overplayed Aventus DNA... But that doesn't mean this fragrance isn't gorgeous. Bright and juicy pineapple/citruses all the way, a marine vibe also comes in with the ambergris (which makes this fragrance smell a little bit like Clive Christian Town & Country) and oak moss (which is not unbearable like in Hacivat for some people). I do wish longevity were a little better although it can last about 8/9 hours (7 hrs on average) with nice projection as well. This house has it's scents based on familiarity, but they never miss. Out of the Aventus DNA fragrances, this one has to be my favorite. 9/10 rating.

Recently got this, on first impressions, this is just a WOW! fragrance, beautiful fresh juicy airy citruses with a touch of salty air is what you first smell and it creates a gorgeous sent bubble around you, the effect is effervescent as it pushes off my skin. In the mid dry down the citruses calm down and more sweet fruit accords come through and the base is showing itself more as I get a salty ambergris, a little pepper and a clean musk. So far I am loving this fragrance and I will do a full review soon after I've spent more time with it. to be continued...

Supernova is a great spring/summer freshie option. It starts with a blast of citrus, primarily orange, paired with the spiciness of the ginger right from the start. It smells clean and fresh with just a hint of spice; it’s really a beautiful fragrances. The only drawback is the price; it’s expensive. I see a lot of comparisons to Aventus, and while they share some things in common, to me it’s closer to Ex Nihilo’s Hedonist. If you can get over the price, it’s a great summer option. I would rate it 9/10.

Just got this today and it really does seem like the love child between Aventus and Hacivat. You get the sharpness and citrus of Hacivat and the fruity, smokey, musky DNA of Aventus. People should really stop saying if it’s better/worse than either. It’s just another option and if you enjoy it, it’s another viable option that is surely higher quality than any of the dupes. If you can find it for MSRP I’d say it’s worth it 100% if you don’t own either Aventus or Hacivat.

I'll echo everything @Steven221283 said regarding this. The fruits, ginger and ambergris in this hit amazingly, and they smell like more expensive versions of these notes compared to similar built frags. Tons of compliments, and this def has very strong projection. The only downside to this fragrance is the digital negative attention it attracts in an online format from the mentally-ill dummies who hate on Aaron in YT comments and on various websites.

Got a sample of this with my order of Hard candy, it was labelled 'SPN' so I didn't have a clue what it was. I sprayed it on my arm regardless and wow - the citrus opening is even brighter than Aventus and has fantastic performance. It turns out this is extremely hard to get but no doubt I'll be trying to get this at the next drop. I also wish ATH did 100ml bottles because I would love to use this as a daily.

I used to be an avid wear of Creed Aventus but no more. The current formulation and performance is a complete joke for its price. Supernova reminds me what I loved about the old Aventus. The citruses in this are some of the nicest I have ever smelt in a fragrance and it LASTS!!! This is definitely blind buy safe and worthy of being a signature fragrance.

Grapefruit, pineapple, and musk BOMB! Very easy to wear and lasts 10+ hours on skin...longer on clothes. Although, I do not recommend spraying on clothes because it will take a few washing’s to get rid of it! It’s not the most unique fragrance in the world but what it does, it does very well. It doesn’t smell generic and will garner compliments. Cheers!

I don't understand the Hacivat comparison, Hacivat is an oakmoss bomb, Supernova is not. The way they're both blended and balanced are nothing alike, if anything the closest fragrance to this is Cedrat Boise but even that has a different overall profile. Supernova is all about the citrus/fruit and salty ambergris supported by a clean musk.

Finally got my hands on a bottle. I got the new 100 mL bottle. I've always been a fan of blue frags and aventus DNA. I really like this fragrance, its fantastic!! Maybe I'm crazy, but this fragrance (if I were forced to compare) smells like a mix of creed aventus, bleu de chanel EDP, and elysium. 9/10

Supernova deserves the crazy hype that it has!! I have both supernova and the body wash, better than hacivat for me (although quite similar) long lasting on skin and clothes, which is impressive for a freshie, aarons best freshie along with haze extreme imo, great work

Oh NO it has heavy pineapple so it must be an Aventus clone!! Although it does have similarities it is no clone. The added orange, ginger, and ambergris make this really nice. Mass appealing DNA with great performance! Great fragrance overall.

@karam alshaikh It's nowhere close to Hacivat.. Hacivat is an oakmoss bomb and Supernova is grapefruit all the way... Pineapple is the only link between them but you could argue the same for Aventus as well.

People don't understand how similar this is to Greenley. If you have them, smell them side by side. Greenley is way closer to supernova than any of the creed suggestions.

This is everything newer aventus batches can't solve. It lasts, citruses are mouthwatering and drys down to nice patchouli and oakmoss base with a pop.
