Not A Perfume Superdose

I might just actually make this my signature scent. I’m seriously DEBATING within myself to do it. I used to and still do love sweet intoxicating scents like Azzaro MW parfum, one million elixer, le male, jpg elixer those type of sweet scent. Scents like the ones I just mentioned would be the only scents I’d spray on most of the time I go on about with my day. But ever since I went on vacation to NY and visited stores we dont have in in my city here in Canada. I went into the Le Labo store and fell in love with another 13. After i got a full bottle of another 13 I realized I need to find something similar but cheaper as I really want to spray like 14-17 times of this scent, but another 13 is close to 500$ here after taxes. I went easy on the sprayer with another 13 and fell in love even more that I need to get a cheaper alternative . So I got amber musk by montale and that one in my opinion smelled very similar to another 13 just little more powdery but it lasted much more and it was 1/4 of the price. But I still wasn’t satisfied as after 2 hours I’d go completely nose blind to it or I feel it would just wear off me to where I don’t smell it another. Another 13 didn’t have amazing longevity but I could still smell it if I smelled my wrist. Then comes this not a perfume overdose by JHAG. I don’t know where to start as I think I have found the best one for me. This is absolutely amazing and in my opinion checked all the boxes for the best alternative to another 13. It has that Ambroxan/ambergris or wtv note it’s called. It also has most which is most important which is the longevity , if you spray it 10-12 times. And when time passes and you smell your wrist it’s still there. Oh my days this is intoxicating. I understand whenever people say they get this scent for layering, but me personally I spray this on by itself and let it speak for itself. I don’t wanna hide the masterpiece, I spray it on without any other fragrance to layer it with and I’m telling you guys this fragrance doesn’t just do what a regular fragrances does. This fragrance literally adds aura to you. Many people will smell like a fragrance, this doesn’t smell like a fragrance. It’s more of a vibe/energy you bring... I literally don’t know how to put it into words because for a lot of people they don’t even smell this because their nose doesn’t pick up the notes of ambroxan. But this fragrance isn’t even a fragrance, its a secret science potion in a bottle lol. Ima gatekeep this shi if someone asks and I don’t even care :) 10/10 masterpiece. EDIT UPDATE: Since I wrote this review on 1st March I had a full bottle, it’s now March 11. So 10 days past since I wrote the review and you will not believe the dent I did in the bottle already. I have already finished alittle more then half the 100ml bottle... I kid you not I have been spraying it before bed. After bed. Before work. After work. On my way to the gym. On my way back home from the gym. And even when I’m bored in the house I’ll do 4-5 sprays on each wrist. And after each daily shower. I have not been shy with the sprayer either as you could tell. But I’m happy that I already have two back up bottles coming in. It’s safe to say I’m fully ADDICTED to this shi... but at least it’s an addiction that makes me feel special and makes me smell good🤣🤷🏽trust you needa get this. I’m saying it on fragentica but if someone asks in person...I’m gatekeeping 🤐

I imagine that this is what an android from any Ridley Scott project would smell like. I started by getting a discovery set with the travel size sample of the original Not A Perfume and a sample of this with a few others in their collection. Like most people, I really didn’t know what to think at first. And it honestly didn’t matter too much for me because I had always intended on using it as a primer for my signature scent (Ani) - Cut to me smelling a spot on my arm that I only sprayed Superdose on.. I loved it. I truly do like the original Not A Perfume, but there’s something about this.. It’s a little wet and kind of seductive to me. Musky, but so clean. Obviously synthetic, and done so right. I’m an Aquarius, so smelling like a Replicant is a cool concept to me. I love wearing it when I know I’m going to sweat. It opens up in a beautiful way and I cannot get over it. I don’t project a ton, but my sillage is very much there. I’ve been told that without having seen me, people know I’m in the building because they walk through my scent trail. I always read the article associated with the fragrance when I’m deep diving into a scent and this one was described as being kind of like Superman’s cape flowing behind you, and I couldn’t agree more. If I’m moving fast enough, I can catch a bit of my own sillage when I abruptly stop (haha) it’s a fun occasional treat. And in case you’re wondering, the Not a Body oil, lotion and shower gel are so so worth it as well. They take the entire experience to another level.

About 5–6 years ago, I bought an oil-based perfume in Turkey that was meant to replicate Escentric Molecules 02. Interestingly, it didn’t smell exactly like the original — it was somewhere in between Molecule 02 and its more “escentric” interpretation - Escentric 02. And sometimes, these kinds of "clones" can be even more intriguing than the original itself. I treasured that small bottle. I used it sparingly because it gave me a very specific sensation I couldn’t find anywhere else — that sharp, slightly sour “lemonade” effect sitting on top of a crisp, mineral ambroxan base. That’s exactly what I love about Molecule 02 at its best. Once the iris starts to peek through and things turn powdery, it becomes something different — beautiful, but no longer about that bright, acidic citrus sparkle. I was searching for a fragrance that would recreate that very specific profile without success... and then I found Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume Superdose. Despite being built around a single Cetalox molecule, on my skin it develops into exactly that long-lost scent: a sharp, mineral citrus impression with that addictive “crystalline sour freshness” I had been chasing for years. This is it. No more searching... for me, but be sure to try before buy as I never read from someone else here about similar olfactive experience - probably this is very personal.

This scent is a staple on my vanity. I am anosmic to the original formula and I truly appreciate that you can DETECT this. That said, a spritz on the wrists and walking through a spray or two in the air, you will catch hints of it on yourself all day. It has an animalic raw attraction edge to it like nothing else I've ever smelled. It is intoxicating. It adds depth to anything else you wear with it (and it is a statement when worn by itself). Lately my favorite thing has been to consistently use Superdose as a finishing touch and change out which other lighter perfumes/mists/sprays I pair with it first, depending on my mood/the weather/whatever. Lighter citrusy/beachy/green scents in hot weather, complex-yet-cozy spicy/musk/vanilla scents in cooler temps. Feeling moody? Feeling girly? Superdose will truly go with everything. It's a big compliment-getter for me. One of my friends specifically hunted me down and needed to know what I was wearing! I almost feel like it's as if I'm spraying on a sexy pheromone, but not in that annoying-teenage-boy-overdoing-his-body-spray way. When you wear this correctly, it is a cocoon of mesmerizing scent that leaves a gentle trail ❤️ I feel like adding Superdose as a finishing touch makes whatever scent combo I'm wearing that day smell like me!

I blind bought this only because I found it at less than 50% off and I thought it was going to be an immediate write-off based on the review on here. I own Another 13, M01 and M02. Adore A13 and M02; M01 I don't enjoy at all, it is very sharp and all I get are pencil shavings. I tried JHAG NAPS on it own and also comparing it to A13 (one on each wrist). It's an absolute love. The opening is very alcoholic but, being familiar with molecular fragrances, I know this is to be expected. Those who judge a fragrance based on the first two seconds should keep their ignorance to themselves and perhaps refrain from giving opinions. There is no burned rubber, no dentist chair or hospital vibes. On me, this is a softer, slightly less sharp version of Another 13, however, it lasts just as long if not longer. It is woody, the iso e super is definitely there but very pleasant and inoffensive. In the deep dry down, Another 13 turn a bit salty, whereas NAPS stays sweet(er). The longevity and projection are impressive. Not sure why so many people say it is eternal on fabric, my experience is the exact opposite. In any case, if you like Another 13 but look for a more affordable, every day option, definitely give this a go.
