I gave one bottle to my Mum and I must say that till date, out of my 55 bottles of perfumes, nothing smells like Afnan Supremacy Gold. It is one the scents I reach for when I went to smell unique, enticing and amazing without having to blend other scents together. Price point - super affordable and honestly I am no longer intrigued by niche brands that are charging so much more for fragrances that are easily replicated by mass market brands. i have both OFG and this one. To me afnan is the more refined and smooth version of OFG because that one -to my nose- is a little rough on the edges but afnan is absolutely gorgeous .. creamy and smooth.. one would think this is the original and OFG is the clone!! So with this scent the powdery and very mild amber-vanilla is not strong at all, the other notes barely detectable. Projects mildly for about 20-30 minutes, lasts as a skin scent no more than two hours. Completely inoffensive in every way, perfectly safe for any wear, including carpool, elevators, enclosed spaces. So if mild, pleasant and versatile is what you want, here it is. But it's as bad as any drugstore cologne in performance though it's being sold as Eau de Parfum which it is not by any measure. For the most part the Cremo, Proraso and Tommy Bahama colognes, and I've tested them all, outperform this scent. You would be better off buying Cremo "Distiller's Blend" or Cremo "Palo Santo." With this, over-apply to start. Respray with frequency. Take a bath in it. It still won't be there by lunch.

But unlike some others I wouldn't say that it's overly sweet. Compared to e.g. Pure Havane it is just a half sweet fragrance lightened by the dry saffron airiness and lavender which is more detectable than in Lataffa. This does bear some similarity to OFG, especially in the opening. It is a beast performer as well. All well and good. However, I really dislike it mainly because of the skanky sweetness. A couple of sprays on my wrist are all I needed to tell it was a great blind buy as just smelling it from a distance was extremely pleasing. I did bury my nose into the scent on my wrist afterward, and that wasn't a good idea because it didn't settle yet. But after a few minutes, the scent transformed into a sweet earthy incense that is continually wafting its way up to my nose even at arm's length.and this golden bottle one smells similar to many from mancera just watered down version of some of the heavy hitters like estee lauder mystique wood and even David yurman the brown limited edition one which i love so much of course with quality difference ..that being said that afnan was bought from a high quality quaity company for more than 80 years called "Atyab Al-marshoud" and they have a long history with pure ouds and agar wood and incense..

Semi-fresh. Start out ruff and slowly get better with the life of the fragrance. Add half a season wearabilty Love it. The opening was a bit harsh to my nose at first—smelled like off bug spray—but I don't mind it anymore. Super strong stuff—I only sprayed twice (one under my shirt and one on top of my hand) and I actually got a headache. It took a few wears for me to get into this juice but now it's addicting. Longevity seems to depend on the day for me for some reason but even when it wears out faster it still lasts me a good 6-7 hours. Regardless, it projects like a freight train just like my bottles of Supremacy in heaven and Silver not only intense. This is basically what I'm aiming for. I have a 10 ml decant of the real thing, so I know the difference in quality. Oud for Glory doesn't smell exactly the same, but the difference in smell vs. the difference in price is pretty stark. If I were looking for an Amouage, I definitely wouldn't settle for a clone; the blend is too complex and the ingredients are of a high enough quality that it probably just couldn't be reproduced effectively. But OfG strikes me as both a pretty simple and likely synthetic blend, making it easier to clone. The sillage is nearly identical, although up close the differences are clear. Still, it comes close enough to what I enjoy about my decant to scratch the same itch. This definitely, IMO, could be worn in all seasons in the day or evening. It certainly would class up any casual gathering and would impress a sophisticated group of people as well as elevate the atmosphere with its elegant and potent aroma.

What Does Supremacy in Oud Smell Like

I prefer perfumes that makes me stand out in a great way and if I can get that from less popular brands, so be it. Like I said, I recommend it for all genders. Girls and women, wear it however you see fit. Dudes ONE-TO-TWO SPRAY MAX and layer it with a Vetiver, patchouli scent. This ain’t for every dude. If you like the stand “bro” scents of Sauvage, Le Male, or Green Irish Tweed, then this ain’t for you. Bypass this scent, and thank me later, but if you’re a dude who doesn’t care about scents and smells and wanna where it, then buy it and enjoy it, but don't take my word for it. Initio's Oud for Greatness is one of my favorite niche frags in my collection but because I can't afford a full bottle, I just settled for a 5ml decant. After reading all the hype, I pulled the trigger on this one. It's a blind buy although I already knew the scent profile besides having a bottle of Oud for Glory by Lattafa (which I sold). I thought Lattafa was the closest to the OG but when I tried this one, I must say that it pretty much succeeded on what it wants to accomplish with flying colors. It was inspired by the OG but in terms of quality and performance, this one truly fascinates me. It has a character and personality of its own.
