Supra Floral

I love a good purple flower fragrance as I wear Chloe Love and Ombre Hyacinth. I am a Mugler fan so I assumed this would be an instant love, so I blind bought it. When I opened it and gave it a spray, I immediately thought I bought a bad bottle. I found it harsh, bitter, and it was nothing like how I imagined it would be. Because I purchased it from an overseas seller there was no way I could return it. Disappointed, I kept it in my closet for months. One day one a whim, I took it out and gave it a full four sprays. Finally I got this. What starts out a bit harsh, softens down to a really beautiful fragrance. The hyacinth is not floral and sweet but fresh and green. The incense is not smokey but cool and gives this a bitter but polished edge that is elegant and refined. I don't detect any amber but maybe it is well blended enough to gives this the beautiful effect this has. Overall, this is a clean, dry and very polished fragrance that is like nothing else I have tried. Perfectly unisex, but maybe runs slightly masculine as there is nothing flowery or sweet about this. Longevity is off the charts. Four sprays are more than enough as will last all day into the night. What stared off as a disappointment turned out to be one of my favorites. Discontinued, but well worth tracking down. One truly great fragrance.

My GF is going to Mexico for Xmas and I wanted to give her somethong that's not too cloying but it makes enough of statement. When she passes someone the purfume gives that floral/warm tone from amber. I must admit I don't smell any insense..maybe my nose meter is beginning to fail me..doubt it. As a guy, I also pickup some sorta powdery vib, it adds to the floral notes. I wanted her to try out before buying it, so I was able to retrieve a sample. Instead of giving her the sample and the vile breaks or spills..I tried something different. I bought a small tub of Vaseline and heated it until it was liquid. I poured the purfume and mixed it up. She can carry it around in her purse, dab some on around her neck, chest and arms. The gel will help to keep it on her skin longer. A 5ml will equal to a 30ml bottle by the time she finishes it. As a spray, you always loose some in the air. As a gel, as she spreading it on her skin, very little to none will be lost. Much more effective as a gel, you have less a chance of it spilling in her purse. If she enjoys the purfume, I'll take the time to make batches using petroleum gel. Purfume is perfect for summer day or night ware. 8/10

Hyacinth was one of Elizabeth Taylors favorite flower. Its a luxe flower. Hyacinth is the star in this Supra Bouquet. Hyacinth is done with a nod to other classic fragrances that featured the flower, greeness of the stem, like YSL Y. We dont get a lot of hyacinth in perfumes of today,so this is a luxurious, pared down, almost soliflore on hyacinth with the addition of incense and amber, which hyacinth is not normally combined with is what makes this modern and unique. Hyacinth starts out blooming a mild floral scent then it grows into its power as it opens. They captured that trait in Supra Bouquet. Its a refined Alien idea. This could be Aliens mother. It doesnt screech out at you in the opening like the jasmine does in Alien. Supreme is refined, smooth, grand dame in a modern way. Lovely idea on this. :) Full bottle worthy.

Amber, incense, and sweet floral. I sense original angel with amber, and incense. It has dark sweetness with caramel coffee. The floral is weird but not dominant as it is voted here, so it's not hyacinth. It's nice but it's almost cloyingly sweet. Edit (6th Sept 2022) OH MY..... The dry down is mesmerizing! i get that tobacco incense with a touch of hazy sweetness added to it. the tobacco dust is mixed with the harsh incense creating a heavy smoke that conquers the scene! it is like that smoke that appears in a dark ally and right after few seconds the villain comes out of the smoke, now "Supra Flora" is the smoke in that scene. Beautiful... It is heavy indeed, but that what makes it a bit tiring to own a full bottle of it as a single pray i think would be extremely enough to enjoy that scene. Beautiful.

I do enjoy this one almost as much as "Cuir Impertinent". This creation reminds me very much of "Cristalle" by CHANEL, albeit this one is harsher, greener and more screechy than the former that is a definite classic and much more creamy, powdery in the drydown. If you like the slightly medicinal (bitter) green note of broken tulip stems, you will like this! Not ground-breakingly new but rather good! 7/10. A green floral, crisp bomb that will surely wake you up in the morning!!
