			Blueprint
			
										I actually find the Otto Kern "Signature" line quite decent overall. Actually. Because the Supreme unfortunately falls out of line very awkwardly.
In the drugstore segment, the fragrances already seem quite upscale. I even find the bottles appealingly designed. I think that especially the Supreme would be a great scent if it hadn't been olfactorily hit with several clubs between its thin cedar-sandalwood-toothpick legs.
Supreme feels more like a basic idea for a fragrance than its final version. Basically a blueprint from which the final product emerges.
The opening with bergamot and petitgrain is very pleasant, soon lavender and sage come through. Here it vaguely reminds me of Eternity. Unfortunately, much weaker though. The tonka bean then adds a touch of sweet softness. But again, it’s more of a hint of the scent.
The base is nice, but it feels like it’s reached in less than half an hour. Cedar and sandalwood create a fresh, woody, and slightly soapy base with a bit of musk, but like the heart note, it has unfortunately turned out to be incredibly weak.
And well, that’s it; after that, the scent largely remains stagnant...
The sillage is... how should I put this, practically nonexistent. Too bad, with the other Signatures from Otto Kern, you experienced much more of the perfume.
James Bronnley, for example, beautifully demonstrates how great a fresh, modern soapy scent can smell. Supreme is far from that. Everything is too airy, not fully realized. Sillage, longevity, complexity. None of it reaches a satisfactory level. And that, despite the fact that the basic idea behind the fragrance is really good.
Thus, it unfortunately remains a blueprint. Maybe someday the finished scent will come out (I just had to laugh at that, as if).
