The Dis - Dance
In the niche world, I've already met a few transformation artists who change their scent over the course of several hours and smell completely different on skin and clothing, but this fragrance creates something that I have never experienced in this form;
It smells completely different depending on the distance. I have already experienced this with other fragrances, but it is new to me in such an extreme way.
Please don't be intimidated by the fragrance pyramid, this is not a pencil-lead-metal-T-800 banger à la "Noir Anthracite | Tom Ford" - which I had actually expected and also find exciting - but an extremely invigorating, ozone-like freshie with exciting twists.
The fragrance proves its chameleon kinship by playing with distance.
The sillage is enormous. Room-filling - extremely unusual for an extrait. Sprayed onto a perfume card and placed in the room, it spreads an unobtrusive, pleasant ozone freshness as mentioned before. When you leave the room and come back, you realize how strong it is. Placed in the hallway, this freshness accompanies you every time with the slightest breeze. "Baccarat Rouge 540 (Eau de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" becomes envious here, I have rarely experienced anything like it.
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 a moment ago couldn't have come from this place after all.
Overall, I find the fragrance concept totally exciting; space suits are said to smell like gunpowder as soon as you have taken your first walk. So you have the smell of space, the metal of spaceships, gloomy, earthy end-time notes and the ozony, lonely freshness of new beginnings - all captured in one bottle.
Perhaps too simplistic for some, too linear in its progression, boring. When it comes to cooking, they say "the eye eats with you" - with fragrances, I say "the brain smells with you" - but as a concept and old sci-fi fan, I think this fragrance is just great.

Comparison to a 10th Year Anniversary Edition Batch
CDNIM EDP I've had for a while now, I don't know the original EDT. I bought it along with Sillage as a blind buy because they are supposedly so good at copying Creed. Although me from the description of the SMW Dupe has appealed much more it is CDNIM, to which I am currently totally addicted.
The other day I had the opportunity to compare it to the fragrance it's obviously trying to copy. Both on the skin and on paper. Funnily enough, the Creed lasts longer with me on the skin than on the test strip, otherwise that's often the other way around.
Right away, CDNIM holds in any case much longer than what came out of the 10th Year Anniversary Edition bottle of Creed. Whether on the sheet or the skin.
The top note is very citrusy, more yellow, more acidic, more biting than Aventus. That's not necessarily unpleasant, it's just not the most natural lemon in the world.
That settles down pretty quickly, though, then becomes smokier and spicier. After half an hour, the whole goes much more in the direction of pineapple.
The transitions of the fragrance notes are very soft here in my opinion. At the base remains even 8h - 10h later still a smoky-elegant, sandy-spicy woody note.
I see at the end out always an elegant gentleman in a tuxedo (in the truest sense) before me, who wanders from dune to dune through the sand into the sunset.
Compared to the original, I find this one wilder, more unbridled, less refined, though also less smooth and more animalic. A great fragrance. In any case blind-buy-worthy.
