Dominance

Mmmm, baby! Big sweet pineapple sundae out of the gate, right on top of caramel amber gourmand. This is what I wanted Hacivat to be, but its pineapple got kidnapped at gunpoint by a big, burly oakmoss. Here, the lavender is kidnapped by the pineapple, but in this case I don't care. Any citrus here is also dwarfed by the pineapple, but there's harmony. After a couple of hours, there's only the barest hint of herbaceousness and patchouli, not enough to distract from the fruit. There's a mild woodiness that joins the fray and keeps the composition from being overly sweet and gourmandish. It's delicious and appealing but is not floating away on clouds of sundae vanilla. There's enough of that around, anyway. With lavender, you can go in two directions, and different varieties of Lavendula yield different scents. This is not the herbal/aromatic facet, so perhaps the reason the lavender gets slightly lost for me is that it's the sweet facet of lavender that blends with the ripe fruit. The marine notes, (the heavier synthetic calone types of which I usually can't stand), are backgrounded, lending a mild freshness and offsetting the impact of fruity sweetness. They're not bothering me at all (woot). The skin scent after the power of Dominance has run its course remains, for me, a pleasurable candy-amber pineapple. There's no Dominant (puns intended, bada bing!) base note that emerges separately as part of development. The notes as I described remain largely as-is. Incidentally, despite the marketing copy on this fragrance, it seems a bit irrational that this is considered "dominant male". These categories are so arbitrary; like projective tests they often say more about us and our cultures and life histories than about a fragrance. Big treble florals tend to give me headaches, so these sorts of fruit-forward freshies are welcome and enjoyable for me as a woman. I don't care much what stereotypes folks want to push. This is deliciously lovely and I've sprung for a full bottle.

For a decent amount of price, you get a unique, niche, pineapple based smell, which can brighten your whole day, but the longevity is very poor. The only reason I gave this "love" is because the smell is really made for me. The first thing what slaps your nose is pineapple, also the stronger notes are the citrussy notes and lemon balm. PROS - The smell is well blended, similar to Creed Aventus, but the price is much better. - The atomiser is just perfect. - It's a heavy compliment getter, If i wear this for work, there is a 100% chance that people will compliment me. - It is an all year scent, personally I wouldn't wear this at winter, but it could work. - You can wear it literally anywhere, it grabs attention, but in an elegant way. CONS - The longevity. When you spray this you get an insane cloud of pineapply smell, but it lasts for like 30 minutes, after that the dry down is very weak (it smells good too), so if you want attention (like at going out) you have to respray yourself every 1-2 hours. If i can give you a tip, people say the perfume oil has better longevity, it's also on a better price, so if you are planning to buy this scent, buy the oil one.

I received a sample from this one next to my order. I gave it to my boyfriend to test it on his skin. I love this one. It's something unique fresh, fruity, but still spicy, masculine and well blended. I have infected him with my hobby / passion, now we are building up his collection. I definitely will get at least 10 ml from this one for him to be able to test it longer. I am not that good at men fragrances, I was exploring more in the feminine side or unisex in the past years, but I would say it's a fragrance that doesn't come in front of you in every corner in the city. The pineapple is so juicy at the beginning besides the lemon but it is very well balanced with spices and aquatic notes. I have only tried 5 parfumes from Superz yet, (female, unisex, masculin included) and I need to say this one is the number one, the best composed fragrance to my nose from these. (Coco Loco, Amber&Vanille, Amber&Wood, Hello Baby and Dominance) But still exploring. I will need to try Dominance Gold as well. Well done

Ordered a sample of this, smelled it and immediately bought a full bottle. It's very unique. It's the best woody, oceanic pineapple fragrance I've every smelled. Didn't think it would project the way it did until i wore it to an event and someone tapped me on the shoulder "excuse me, whatever that is you have on smells so good" She caught a whiff of this fragrance in a spacious room full of people. For a unique scent that performs extremely well with such a great scent, the price point makes it a MUST HAVE.

This is a pineapple powerhouse. While it leans heavily into that familiar Aventus/Hacivat DNA, it distinguishes itself by cranking the fruitiness to the max. The addition of aromatic lavender and a warm amber base gives it a rugged, woody backbone that somehow retains a crisp, oceanic freshness. It’s a summer staple that has enough weight to remain a signature scent through the colder months.
