Scent Battle: Supernova vs. Elysium
Yesterday I made a comparison, side by side, of Elysium Cologne Parfum and Supernova.
In terms of scent, for my nose, Elysium wins by far. The opening of the Elysium is citrusy but smooth, light, almost transparent and with a touch of red fruits. The opening of Supernova has those citruses typical in some clones, which I pick up at the CDNIM drydown, at the opening of Bucephalus No. XI. It is not unpleasant, but it is more sharp, more synthetic.
In the drydown, Elysium is a bit woody and has a musk that makes the perfume rounder and more comforting, I would even say sexy. Supernova also has woods and spices, but it lacks musk.
Supernova is very pleasant in the air, but when I smell my skin, there is something that does not charm me, unlike Elysium.
Concerning performance, Supernova wins easily. It lasts two hours more on my skin and the sillage is more noticeable.
Elysium: 9/10.
Supernova: 8/10.
