Supremacy Silver

Afnan Supremacy Silver Men EDP opens with a moderate projection of smokey, and fruity accords. The most prominent fruit notes are pineapple and bergamot with a touch of apple. The pineapple note is very crisp, sweet, and sharpened by the bergamot that enhances it, the apple is just a soft touch accompanying the pineapple. The birch is the next most prominent accord, a woody, smoky, and intense accord. The black currant adds its berry-like, a green, and tangy touch which enhances the birch and pineapple. The rose, jasmine, and patchouli are very light touches, just to support the feature notes, they don’t have any significant participation. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the oakmoss brings a woody accord which blends with the birch, the vanilla is just a soft sweet touch, and finally, the musk and ambergris blend themselves producing an accord that is tilted to the ambergris than to the musk. This resulting ambergris accord has an earthy, mossy, and slightly mineral accord, not animalic or sour. The most noticeable opening to dry-down change is, the bergamot and apple accords are noticeable during the opening, they significantly fade away as the fragrance dries down. Once Afnan Supremacy Silver Men EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, slightly sweet, fruity (pineapple, black currant), and birch (woody, smoky) fragrance with musky (ambergris) accords. The fragrance feels delectable, elegant, energizing, fresh, fruity, inviting, masculine, modern, ambergris musky, nicely-blended, playful, refreshing, smokey, sporty, slightly sweet, versatile, woody, zesty, and very pleasant.

Probably the best Aventus clone. If you're anything like me, I like a good clone, but I also try to own the original of what that perfume may be impersonating. With Aventus, that option always left me with a sour taste in my mouth, I'd go to the Large City Department Store, in the niche perfume sector sat 'Aventus' and I'd effectively drench my hand and arm in it, with those Creed Atomisers, it's not too difficult. Within 4 hours, not more or less, the scent was scant and effectively gone, say for a smooth musky smell for another hours tops. I do trust people when they speak about the 'magic' Creed had, my mother, who got me into this hobby, owned an old bottle of 'Love in White' which was one of the most beautiful, smooth and 'Three-Dimensional' scents I've ever smelled, alas, I got into the hobby too late and would never consider buying Aventus at $500 AUD, too flat, hollow and short-lived. Supremacy Silver was a clone I got after already having 2 different clones of the same perfume in Club De Nuit Intense Man EDP and L'Aventure Intense, the former having this distinct 'lemon' smell, which mind you wasn't bad, but not close to Aventus and the latter, being far too citrusy and white floral leaning, almost 'neroli cologne' like. I am happy with both, however, I can tell the difference very easily. The Presentation is nothing short of phenomenal, yes, this is a lot of praise because when it comes to Arabic Houses, sadly I've effectively taught my brain to always expect something horrid, as it least I would never be surprised, but this here is very classy and tasteful, you won't have to hide this bottle away, or any from the Supremacy Line, unlike, say, Modest Une. The scent, when I tell you that this is scarily close to the Aventus I smelled at the department store, of course I'm not ridiculous, this has its shortcomings, this is much more screechy than Aventus, where Aventus you can still 'pick apart' the notes from one another, albeit with much more difficulty than say my mother's Vintage Love in White, here, you cannot, the pineapple is much more apparent here than in CDNIM and thus much closer to Aventus, the citrus has this tendency to come off as aggressive as reviewer koasqute put it "Angry Citrus" which I feel is the largest discrepancy to one of the closest clones I've ever smelled in general, say for Midnight Oud by Ard Al Zafaraan. The performance is very fair and reasonable. I often get at the very least 6 hours with and extra here and there as a faint skin scent, this is already an improvement over the original, sadly. The Projection is good, louder in the opening though. The price for this unbeatable. I bought my bottle for $60 AUD as opposed to $450-500 AUD. An absolute steal. This clones Aventus, enough said for versatility, maybe less versatile than Explorer with cleans out the smoky-birch accord from Aventus, but this will still garner compliments. I wear CDNIM for performance, L'Aventure Intense in extreme weather and now this for when i want to get as close to Aventus as possible. $60 = 8/10 $80+ = 6/10

I sampled Afnan Supremacy Silver (ASS) during September 2014 when there were not many quality Aventus Clones available, and judged it to be the most realistic Aventus clone that I had sampled to date. So I bought two bottles during November 2014 and over the years, and after buying/sampling an endless stream of Aventus Clones being released, my opinion really hasn't changed. While the pineapple and birch notes are certainly in this fragrance, just like all other clones I've tried this one can't match those gorgeous burnt-pineapple and smokey-birch accords found in King Aventus. Still, it is very nice and one of the better efforts. Moreover, it can be tweaked as others have mentioned. When I first sniffed ASS back in 2014 I was ready to pour the lesser clones (aka Aventus Clowns) like Spirit Stench, Unpredictable Displeasure and Ilum Dean Fiasco down the drain. Based on comments below, I see others agree with Afnan Supremacy Silver (ASS) being one of the better clones out there. But after 4-years the the problem remains getting one's hands on some of this really nice ASS since--here in the States--it is typically only shipped from the Middle East and India. Moreover, several other really nice Aventus Clones have come along the past 2-3 years that are much easier to obtain and half-the-price. Although I prefer ASS (who doesn't?) I can see how others may prefer CdNI, L'Aventure or Pure II...which are all very good copies IMO. ASS performs pretty well on my skin in that is lasts a solid 6-hours and projects moderately for about 2-hours. I've had the opportunity to wear this fragrance many times over the past three years and very much like Aventus with the following exceptions: it's a bit woodier and lacks that smoky-birch, that pineapples fades away too soon, it doesn't perform as well as Aventus (average projection and longevity versus excellent) and it lacks that full-bodied richness one attributes to Creed's ambergris. I have been layering ASS with Demeter Pineapple which extends the pineapple vibe another half-hour or so. I never thought adding a drop of pineapple essential oil, but it sounds like something I should try. Regardless, I have something like a dozen Aventus clones in the Scent Armory yet I almost always reach for Aventus when I am in an Aventus mood. Some of the clones come close, but nothing has been able to duplicate that addictive burnt-pineapple and smokey-birch accords that makes Aventus magical. The bottom line is ASS is worth taking a sniff. If it passes the sniff test, and if you don't mind paying $50-$60 for ASS here in the States, then buy it.

I've had this for about a week and it's a really nice fragrance for warmer spring and less sunny summer days, could fit perfectly for fall on some skin types. The opening is really "sweaty" for me, when I spray myself I instantly smell the odor of something animalic/sweaty, but it lasts only for about 5-10 minutes, then it becomes a bit green with the other notes calming down a lot. After 2 hours you can clearly smell the woody, mossy and patchouli tones, which are really nicely blended, the wood isn't strongly oud and the moss isn't overly "wet" like a forest after a heavy rain. At some point the "sweat" comes back, but not in a stinky/unpleasant form, it blends with the wood and moss to smell like natural manly pheromones on a warm day, which i really love. I can't however find ANY fruity notes, neither the sweetness of pineapple or sourness of black currant and bergamot, it somewhat reminds me of Loewe Esencia EDT, but quieter and more sophisticated, this would be a great choice for a 20-25yo guy looking for a fragrance somewhat elegant, but also viable for 99% occasions in spring and summer, except for really strong heat, because it would become a bit cloying. Honestly I can't seem to find anyone with similar experience with this as me, so it might just be my skin blending the fragrance in this way. The projection is fine, you can wear it in a class/lecture and people 2 seats from you will slightly smell you, but at the same time it won't suffocate anyone at the gym (it also blends really well with your natural sweat during a workout, just apply it 1/2 hours before going to the gym), longevity is good, I get around 8-10 hours of solid performance, after it I smell it after moving my arms and chest closer to my head, but people in arm-length will still feel your smell. EDIT: I can now smell some of the sweet fruitiness, it has got a lot better, now it's a 4,7/5 when it was a 4,3/5.

DO YOU FANCY A PINEAPLLE-SMOKED BIRCH-AMBERGRIS BLENDING? [short review] Aventus clones have almost become a subdivision of perfumery, or even a type of perfume. However, I realise that the best Aventus clone is really... Creed Aventus. There is nothing like the original. From time to time I like to dwell on this subject. Several members of this look-alike family can give us three olfactory notes that I like to experience together in the same blend: Pineapple, smoked birch and ambergris! The different interpretations can be very different and lead to different types of similarities to the original Aventus. I don't care if they are 99.9% similar to Aventus or not. For the 99.9% similarity, I have Aventus and I don't trust anything else. Sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised by a new designer's approach to this type of fragrance. I like a strong, sweet and long note of roasted pineapple. I like a striking, smoky birch. I want the amber to be very long, with a little sea salt, but not too salty. This description fits the Afnan Supremacy Silver very well. Recent batches of Aventus have less smoke and are more fruity. You may enjoy another characteristic of this Afnan juice. It is smoother than most of its counterparts. However, I must admit that I would have preferred a higher concentration and a more intense aroma. The performance is acceptable and it offers you 7 hours of longevity with 3 sprays. The sillage radius peaks at five feet. The two-hour projection is acceptable. The price is set at around 30 euros and seems reasonably inexpensive. The presentation is well above average for a Middle Eastern designer. MY OPINION: This is one of the most respectable knock-offs of Aventus. The presentation is very nice, it is smokier than the Al Haramain and smoother than the Armaf offerings. On top of that, it can be bought under the 30 Euro milestone. MUSIC: Mel & Kim - Respectable
