Sci-fi Scent

I tested Super Nova because it was recommended as a gunpowder scent. It really isn't that - whatever gunpowder is there is pretty well blended, perhaps only adding to the mineral/metallic accords. So, that was a disappointment but I ended up really like the fragrance. Super Nova evolves like a wave. It opens very metallic and mineral. Suddenly, a citrus-y and somewhat sweet scent appears. That doesn't last long and it returns to a scent that's almost identical to the metallic/mineral opening. The dry down scent is a bit deeper than the opening.

To describe the scent, it's almost like the smell of a newly printed magazine, similar to Ganymede but way better. Super Nova's performance is also way better than Ganymede (current version tested from a sample). Longevity is quite good, still going strong after 8 hours. Projection is more modest after the first hour. While I was disappointed with Ganymede, I'm definitely picking up a bottle of Super Nova.

Super Nova is the fume that Commander J.J. Adams wears.

Air is the canvas on which perfume unfolds.

An obvious truth, yet one worth repeating — especially here. Applying it to your wrist and sniffing it up close with all your might might just put you off (not to mention give you a headache), as clashing notes jostle for attention.
A freshie with oud? Metallic notes with cashmeran? Green pepper and ambergris? Yes.

Super Nova reminds us that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes, a perfume can be the finest expression of Gestalt theory. In the air, it turns aquatic, languid, with a playful edge — and yet, it carries a note of seriousness.
Imagine an old sea dog, long retired in the sun, still wearing his weather-beaten uniform, smelling faintly of gunpowder and salt.
He lounges on the beach, a cocktail always in hand — one he never seems to finish. And when night falls, and the party guests grow quiet, he leans in, eyes gleaming, ready to tell you one of his stories.

Mineral Note the 5th

I am a huge fan of Ganymede, so of course I had to test "Super Nova | Gritti." Thanks to a sharing, I managed to get a good sample. Thank you, Souk, for being there. A thumbs up for the best platform in the world. Parfumo, I will tattoo it on my chest. Chacka
But this isn't about Parfumo; it's about the fragrance "Super Nova | Gritti." The following fragrances share the DNA: "Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois," "Stallion | Zimaya," "Opuluxe | Pana Dora," "Masa / ماسة | Lattafa Pride," and the Calestial by Emir. I was able to test them all, and I have some in my collection.
Super Nova starts beautifully mineral and metallic, and you immediately recognize the DNA. Without a doubt, this is Ganymede with all its moons. The ingredient responsible for this, in my opinion, is
the saffron or here the pepper with the Artemis. Well done, Luca, but that didn't have to happen. There is only one OG, and that is "Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois." I compare this DNA to Coca Cola. There are so many variations, but I could blind taste the original among 100 different ones.
The longevity and sillage are good but far from very good. A 7.5/10. Ganymede, depending on the batch, is a 10/10.
Purchase recommendation: Yes and no. I am a fan of Gritti, and that's the only reason I would get this, but if you like the DNA and it appeals to you, then please go for Ganymede. You won't regret it.

The Dis - Dance

I have already encountered quite a few transformation artists in the niche world who change over several hours in their scent progression, smelling completely different on skin & clothing, but this fragrance does something I have not experienced in this form before;  

It smells completely different depending on the distance. While I have experienced this with other fragrances, it is new to me to such an extreme degree.

Don't be intimidated by the fragrance pyramid; this is not a pencil lead metal T-800 explosion like Noir Anthracite - which I actually expected and find exciting - but an extremely invigorating, ozone-like freshie with intriguing twists.

The scent proves its chameleon-like nature when playing with distance.

The sillage is enormous. Room-filling - extremely unusual for an extrait. Sprayed on a perfume card and placed in the room, it spreads a previously mentioned, unobtrusive, pleasant ozone freshness. When you leave the room and come back, you first notice how strong it is. Placed in the hallway - it accompanies you anew with every slightest breeze - this freshness. Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum would be envious here; I have actually rarely experienced something like this.

However, when you get closer to the card - or the sprayed piece of skin - Super Nova shows its second face. Here it becomes metallic, cool, earthy - and you start to doubt that the freshness from just now could really have come from this spot.

Overall, I find the fragrance concept totally exciting; space suits are said to smell gunpowder-like once they have taken their first walk. So you have the scent of outer space, the metal of spaceships, dark earthy apocalyptic notes, and the ozone-like, lonely freshness of new beginnings - completely captured in a bottle.

For some, it may be too simplistic, too linear in its progression, boring. When cooking, they say, "the eye eats with" - with fragrances, I say: "the brain smells along" - I simply find this fragrance as a concept and as an old sci-fi fan just great.

Shape Shifter

First of all, one should not expect a proverbial supernova, as the Super Nova is neither short-lived nor does it start with an explosion, but rather quietly. But well, in space, you can't hear anything anyway.

This fragrance should definitely be tested on the skin. While it was hardly perceptible and very gentle on the testing strip in the perfume store, it developed on my hand and everything that came into contact with it into something I had never experienced before.

To begin with, my experience with aquatics is limited. Therefore, I can't really categorize the Super Nova yet. However, I can say that the scent is very interesting and lasts extremely long while projecting well. Normally, my skin absorbs scents quite quickly, but this one was still detectable days after application, despite showering and washing my hands. My jacket and sweater still filled rooms with the scent days later. I had not experienced anything like that before, which is both a plus and a minus.

The fragrance starts softly and fresh with the pepper and artemisia, but later drifts into a seemingly increasingly stronger synthetic quality of metallic and salty notes, which offer great potential for headaches. The longevity makes it even worse. Although the scent has something, it eventually became annoying for my girlfriend and me due to its omnipresence. The headache aspect even caused a slight feeling of disgust. It was simply too much, and one could not escape the scent. I could not perceive oud or gunpowder.

The creation is definitely something special, and I have not smelled anything comparable before. The price-performance ratio is great, especially for a fresh fragrance. I would not recommend more than one spray to anyone.

Whether one perceives time as relative and wants to see the scent metaphorically as the entire course of a supernova, or rather views it as a measurable aftereffect in infinity, is left to each individual. In any case, it is a great experiment that positively confuses.

With some distance, I will certainly test the fragrance again and possibly adjust my review.

Summer vibes perfume. Leather from the opening makes it interesting, which btw is very loud, strong and in contrast with what follows it

Clearly inspired by Ganymede. Hints of melon in the top, dries fresh-aquatic & less spicy than Ganymede (more towards Carner's Revolucion).

Angular aquatic gray-blue spray freshness that makes you want to dive into cool seawater. Mineral, stony, fresh.

For me, it's the scent you get when you first step onto the plane - cabin electronics, newspapers, people... Frequent flyers know what I mean.

Ganymede with another name... how even well-known brands are now blatantly recycling fragrance DNAs but then charging a premium price for it...

Reminds me a lot of Ganymede. Stays a bit brighter, more mineral, with a nice, subtly sweet freshness. Only the aquatic note at the beginning is off-putting.
