Supremacy Not Only Intense
A bold, spicy oud-amber from Afnan's Supremacy line. Cinnamon and saffron lead into a smoky oud and tobacco base for a warm, masculine, cold-weather statement.
Supremacy Not Only Intense opens on Cinnamon and Saffron, moves through Oud and Tobacco, and dries down to Amber and Patchouli. At $30 - $45 it is which makes it an easy budget pick, with long lasting (8h - 12h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.
