Supersonic

I got my supersonics today! I waited all day for the mailman to come before spraying anything on which is unheard of for me. Supersonic is very reminiscent of supernova. To my nose, it seems Aaron took the building blocks of Supernova and reconstructed it from the ground up and threw a few more notes in the mix. It has the characteristics reminiscent of BR540 EDP from what I can tell. It doesn’t smell like br540 but its performs similar to br540. Some people think its crazy strong, some can’t even smell it at all. Light, Airy, Radiant. The sillage and projection of this stuff is pretty crazy. Enough to fill a room or leave a trail in the supermarket. If you smell it on skin its so strong you go nose blind. But in the air it’s constantly radiating off the skin. Upon first spray you get a heavy dose of citruses that are crisp sweet smooth but never scratchy, almost creamy like. The vetiver musk and ambergris seem to stay throughout the whole experience from start to finish. Once you get to the dry down you get wafts of sweet pineapple apple and salty fresh sea notes that radiate off the skin like crazy. The base of vetiver patchouli musks ambergris & oak moss are always lingering in the background. I dont get the ginger at all. After about 4 hours I decided to try the layering combo of supersonic and supernova and it was so strong that I almost couldn’t handle it. Total overload at first. I can see the combo being headache inducing to be honest. Once they both dried down it was amazing tho. The total package for a summer freshy! If you are a fan of supernova I highly recommend you trying this stuff out.. If you try the layering I recommend going easy on the sprays. Overall an amazing summer banger that will always have a place in my collection.

This is definitely close to Aventus, perhaps closer to Aventus Cologne as it’s not Smokey. It’s definitely smoother/more sophisticated smelling (perhaps why the Elysium references by some reviewers) and to my nose is a nicer smelling version of the Aventus DNA (and Aventus has been for years a favourite perfume for me). Both Aventus and Montblanc Explorer are what i would say “rougher” masculine scents, and this is a “smoother/sophisticated, yet very masculine” scent. To me it approaches the sophisticated feel of Elysium, but more masculine (though to be fair my only criticism of Elysium is that while sophisticated, it smells “busy” with so many notes that are actually discernible). Supersonic is smooth and sophisticated, and though it’s definitely not simple or linear, it’s not got the complexity (nice way to say busyness) of Elysium. This scent is underrated for how good it is; perhaps people are more used to Aventus clones that are beast mode scents, but all very rough or screechy (yes all the Arab dupes- they may get the scent profile, but they smell cheap, and strong. Some people like that; I don’t).

Idiots and haters can talk ALL THE SHIT THEY WANT. The bottom line is this smells amazing, and barely at all like Aventus aside from the fact it's citric. Women friends at my work say this and Supernova are their favorites that I have been wearing this summer, and I just got two compliments at a F'n GAS STATION, one outside and one from the check out lady off of two measly sprays from my 10ml bottle (missed getting a large bottle so I bought multiple 10mls haha). In general my most complimented frag this past summer. Strong as hell in the best way, and lasts a good 8+ hours. Less juicy opening than Supernova but more overall projection and strength, def some sort of molecule in there pushing this scent into the stratosphere.

Supersonic is the only one perfume from Aaron Terence Hughes that I love.. it is 99% copy of aventus/Hacivate/Elysium but Supersonic is a very good one.. so It is worth every penny. But the rest of Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances are so over priced and so over hyped.. Finally I got most of his fragrances here in New York from Maxaroma, my God they are so over priced..and they are nothing special at all...To me very synthetic smelling..so sample first please before buying a full bottle.. I think most of the reviewers on Youtube got his fragrances for free from him thats why they pushing his products... Anyway Only from his all fragrances.. Supersonic is a good one if you like the Aventus/Hacivate/Elysium DNA..

I’m not sure how previous posts have described ATH’s fragrances as overpriced, when you consider the 35% concentration and ingredients used. The whole idea of the brand is that it doesn’t tread the increasingly familiar designer path and does things differently for little more than designers prices (if you consider concentration) Not everybody will like all or any of his fragrances, nor should they. This one though seems to me to be halfway house between Aventus and Elysium, but smoother than both. A winner.
