Dominance Superz. Extrait de Parfum

Mmmm, baby! Big fresh pineapple and tart citrus out of the gate, with lavender right behind. This is what I wanted Hacivat to be, but its pineapple got kidnapped at gunpoint by a big, burly oakmoss.

Here, the lavender is initially kidnapped by the pineapple, but in this case I don't care. The citrus and pineapple are fresh - it's something I wear in warmer weather.

There's some herbaceousness, but after a couple of hours, there's only the barest hint of it. There's a buried patchouli, not enough to distract from the fruit. There's a mild woodiness that joins the fray and keeps the composition from being gourmandish. It's delicious and appealing and a tiny bit sweet, but not a pineapple sundae.

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 doesn't dominate for me is that it's the sweet facet of lavender that blends with the ripe fruit. It's a great combination.

The marine notes, (the heavier synthetic calone types of which I usually can't stand), are backgrounded, lending their own 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 candied amber pineapple. There's no Dominant (pun intended) base note that emerges separately as part of development. The notes as I described remain largely as-is.

Big treble florals tend to give me headaches, so these sorts of fruit-forward freshies are welcome and enjoyable for me as a woman and I think any gender could wear this happily.

This is delicious and I've sprung for a full bottle.

We continue with the Hungarian brand Superz from Budapest, here with Dominance. A great range is offered here, with many extraits that are already well made in terms of quality and could be classified as a mix of niche quality and solid designer fragrances. The concept here is clearly pleasant niche fragrances with easy-to-like scents that can be worn casually. Thanks to the extraits, the performance is already quite good in most cases and you get powerful fragrances with staying power. Dominance had caught my eye some time ago because I really like fruity-sweet pineapple fragrances and find them genuinely well suited to everyday wear. Here, of course, you get a lot of pineapple in the top note, but it does not last forever, so this is not exclusively a pineapple fragrance. Overall, you get a great blend from perfumer Hüseyin Erdugmus, who is responsible for many Superz fragrances and also created the wonderful Sacred Bond.

The packaging is uniform and has an individual cover, here featuring the main ingredients, with pineapples naturally also depicted. Niche-style packaging, and the bottle is really pretty with a similar cover including a big cat. Magnetic cap and atomizer are buttery smooth and satisfying. Chapeau, really well done. In terms of price, the RRP is €120 for 50ml, although deals are already available since some shops have recently started carrying the brand. It is a shame that it is only available in 50ml, as this fragrance is really suitable for everyday wear.
Pineapple is primarily associated with Aventus, of course, but that is not the case here. You get a great casual fragrance that is relatively fresh and also offers a wonderful caramel sweetness, which does not detract from the freshness. The pineapple note is really lovely, with fruity, juicy nuances accompanied by a great, slightly bitter citrus accord. The pineapple note is somewhat reminiscent of Qaed Al Fursan by Lattafa, joined by a lovely, subtle and pleasant fresh spiciness. Some blue shower gel notes also appear, as does a relatively fresh lavender note, although the latter remains more in the background. Oud and patchouli add somewhat edgy and slightly dark notes that become a little more active towards the end, when the fruity-citrusy-fresh notes start to run out of steam. Overall, the fragrance becomes noticeably warmer towards the drydown, with some amber, while the sweet caramel note also creates a pleasantly warm effect. Even though the fragrance shows some synthetic tendencies: To me, there is nothing unpleasant at play here and you get a great modern blend that changes somewhat over time, also because fruity notes do not last forever. The fragrance is easy to wear for younger and modern men looking for something "on-trend". The fragrance can be worn all year round and suits all kinds of activities. High summer and sports should of course be approached with caution due to the somewhat heavier notes and the sweetness. Otherwise, a great fragrance that I can absolutely recommend if you like pleasant niche and designer fragrances.
Performance is excellent and the fragrance projects strongly for the first few hours. Longevity is 8 hours, possibly close to 10 hours on skin.

Overall, a great release from a brand that is doing a pretty good job. I like it a lot, it is modern, and the fragrance will certainly be a big hit with the masses.

Dominance is exactly the kind of pineapple scent I always imagined when pineapple was mentioned as a fragrance note.
It is the first truly fruity and sweet pineapple fragrance I have tested. It reminds me more of pineapple juice or even pineapple gum than of a fresh fruit. The pineapple is tropical, juicy, and sweet, without appearing artificial. At the same time, the scent has really damn good longevity.

I find it almost a bit too intrusive, or rather just very extroverted. For me, it is definitely more of a party scent than an office scent. The sillage is really intense. You can easily perceive it from several meters away, and that's why I can't think of that many situations to wear it. It fills the room very quickly, and I believe that can annoy the surroundings in certain situations.

You really have to enjoy sweet fruity scents, but if you do, Dominance is truly a good choice. I don't perceive it as synthetic at all. The individual fragrance notes are easily distinguishable, and the scent develops overall quite solidly.

For the price, I find it really successful. In fact, I'm even considering getting a whole bottle, but I want to test it a bit longer first. For summer, when you're in the mood for an authentic, tropical sweet pineapple that almost reminds you of pineapple syrup, I think it is excellent. Here, the caramel note also comes into play nicely, making everything soft, round, and sweet.

Unisex, good price-performance ratio.

After every somewhat prominent influencer had praised a fragrance from Superz, I had to get a sense of the brand.
The Dominance starts with a very pleasant citrus note, which is quickly taken over by a very beautiful, zesty, creamy, and natural pineapple note. A slight marine, floral note is always present, but only in the background. The focus is on the pineapple. The drydown is truly wonderful; a light woody note with a warm, pleasant sweetness perfectly rounds off the fragrance. In my opinion, the scent leans a bit towards Mindgames-Blockade, as it also plays with this fruity, fresh mix. The Dominance is, of course, much more affordable and still offers very high quality.
On my skin, the fragrance lasted about 8 hours, which is fine for me.
Anyone who enjoys this type of scent should definitely test this fragrance.
