Really St. Aventus-Gral?
So, now I can finally give my mustard to this perfume, after I got hooked on the hype, which arose here on Parfumo, I also bought a bottle.
Even if this perfume is still very new on the market, but already now some myths and heated discussions about this fragrance. For some, it is actually the holy Aventus-Gral, for others just another cheap Aventus clone.
The hype even goes so far that some wrote that they had ordered 20 bottles and yet others advised to get the fragrance before the price goes through the roof and the fragrance is sold out. And indeed - as of today - the fragrance is nowhere to be found. Shortly after my order went through, it was also already sold out.
But now to the actual fragrance. I would like to evaluate this by the way detached - at least, as far as this is possible - independently of Aventus and see him as an independent fragrance. In fact, I also do not know the earlier Aventus batches and have for direct comparison only Explorer present.
And here I put then also, starts Supremacy Not Only Intense but indeed much nicer, more natural and overall less synthetic. Surprisingly, you can smell - of course always with a little imagination and good will - all three fragrances; bergamot, apple and currant. For my part, I can't pick out pineapple, but it's not indicated at all. And this is where Supremacy Not Only Intense differs from "Aventus (Eau de Parfum) | Creed", where both fragrances share all scents in the top note, except for the pineapple. The top note is also definitely the clear highlight of this fragrance.
In the heart note, so after about 30 minutes, the fragrance then becomes a little smokier, herbaceous and earthier. Lavender, patchouli and oakmoss I can not consciously smell out, but the fragrance notes make perfect sense to my nose. The fruity remains but now becomes a little more masculine or edgier.
In the drydown, the fragrance then no longer changes significantly, it becomes at most a little woodier and loses more and more of the initial fruitiness and sweetness. Ashtray I smell here best will not out. If anything, the fragrance could still be a little smokier for me.
Similarities to @540 one can recognize already rather, since mann the saffron note in the basis with it probably under circumstances could connect. But if anything, I would like to recognize a distant similarity to @540 in the top note, since something sweet still resonates here, which makes the fragrance as I said, especially at the beginning very pleasing.
The sillage is quite present and is clearly in the good midfield. Not necessarily room-filling, but well perceptible and over a longer period. But how you can rate the sillage with a 10, is a mystery to me. Either the hype horses have run away with you or the respective reviewers haven't smelled a real "beast" yet. But a tight 8 (7 would also be appropriate) is quite justifiable here. The durability is also absolutely fine and is 7-8 hours on my skin.
A few words about another confusion surrounding the fragrance. In fact, both on the plastic slipcase and on the real nice plastic box are the words "Extrait de Parfum". But then on the sticker below the bottle you find "Eau de Parfum". An oversight? Clever marketing?
At the same time, however, one also finds an 80% indication and a brief Internet search reveals that this is exactly in the gray area between "Extrait de Parfum" and "Eau de Parfum". Mostly 20% is used for intense versions of "Eau de Parfums" and this is even included in the name (not only intense). So for me it is an "Eau de Parfum" in Intense concentration.
So how does my overall verdict turn out now? Good! If the original Aventus batches have smelled so, then I can now understand a bit better the hype around @Aventus, because the current batches or bspw. Explorer have never really convinced me. Supremacy Not Only Intense, on the other hand, is convincing to a large extent, even if it is not my favorite fragrance DNA overall and I still prefer Hacivat, for example.
The fragrance is fruity, somewhat smoky and exudes a certain masculinity. So ultimately, I can not share the enthusiasm around this fragrance to 100%, but understand a bit and am glad to have secured me a bottle. And for those of you who are looking for the original Aventus, feel free to strike here and try your luck. For the price, the fragrance is always a real bargain, even completely detached from the Aventus question.
