Supremacy Noir by Afnan

No, Bojko, this doesn’t smell anything like Encre Noire Sport. It’s more similar to Gucci Guilty Black. It’s fresh, aromatic, green, with a woody touch. I don’t see it as bad for daily use, but this fragrance doesn’t have anything special about it.

I just bought it. The scent is pleasant but reminds me of Encre Noire Sport, so if you already have that, I don’t recommend buying ASN. ENS seems like a masterpiece. It’s not a blind buy and definitely not youthful, though it is nighttime, perfect for gatherings with friends or a partner. It works for almost elegant formal events. It’s not for everyday wear, but everyone has their taste. It lasted me over 8 hours on clothes, maybe 6 on skin. I suggest spraying it discreetly; it’s not for drenching yourself in it, it can get heavy. I’m writing this opinion in very hot weather, so I’m sure it would be even better in cooler temperatures.

It’s far from being a Beasmode, but its performance is excellent. I feel the natural scent, nothing synthetic. The price is very good; I compared several websites and bought it on esenzalia for 30 pesos, which is where I always end up. The objective part is said. Subjectively, I love it: it’s elegant, masculine, and pleasant. I’d use it for outings and work meetings to project confidence. Will I get compliments? I don’t know, with no fragrance have I ever gotten them, but I guess I’m just ugly.

This fragrance embodies everything that, in my opinion, a made man and an elegant gentleman should smell like. It’s not friendly, but neither is it unbearable; it’s like saying, ‘I’m here, come on in, but don’t be too funny.’

I met a girl and we agreed to go out. For that day, I washed the car and put a fresh pine air freshener to make a good impression. A friend had gifted me this perfume and I hadn’t used it, so I thought it was the perfect occasion. When I went to her house, I noticed that my body odor and the car’s smell were almost identical; anyone without a refined nose would say it was the same fragrance. I was on the same aromatic frequency with over 90% similarity. When she arrived, she said: ‘your car smells so good’. I didn’t know what to say and didn’t want to admit that that smell was coming from me. We had a great time and at the end she left thinking the smell was from the car. Now I don’t know whether to change the air freshener or the girl.

It’s an intense yet luminous green scent, with no darkness in this Noir at all. The opening is sharp, daytime, nothing that evokes night despite the dark bottle. It’s masculine, mature, and versatile for the day; it makes an impression. Maybe a bit linear, but as it dries down it becomes more masculine with that green patchouli and that chameleon-like labdanum note across its concentrations (it’s so green it even gives the impression of moss). Performance and projection are decent in my case, and the price matches the quality. Afnan is always a good option. Tried it, but it’s not for teens or sweet tastes; it’s a classic green updated for today. Edit: Tested side-by-side with Loewe 7 and 7 Anonyme; on the opening it reminds me briefly of the 7, and as it dries it takes on the green facet of Loewe 7 and the depth of 7 Anonyme. Even though there’s no incense here, these are curious associations that trick the brain.

Well, out of the entire Supremacy line by Afnan, this is by far the worst. I own several others and can vouch for Not Only Intense, Supremacy in Oud, and Incense—all are fantastic clones. I’m not sure who this one is a clone of, but it has zero projection and doesn’t last long on my skin; if I don’t bring my nose close, I can’t even smell it. It doesn’t hold up on clothes either. I sprayed fourteen times without going overboard, and when I got home after eight hours, there was no trace left on my clothes or skin. It’s true that it’s cheaper than the others, but that doesn’t make up for it. It has a vintage 80s vibe, like Drakkar Noir, mixed with a decent leather note similar to Yuqawan, but without the same punch. Basically, it’s a cologne, not a post-shower splash. I’ll probably just keep it for home use. I’m not throwing it away because the bottle looks nice. If you can find it at a good price, go for it; otherwise, don’t worry, you’re missing nothing.

SUPREMACY NOIR AFNAN: As the name suggests, this scent exudes authority, respect, and leadership, making it perfect for the workplace. It has that herbal, mentholated vibe reminiscent of eucalyptus—a freshness that transports you to a forest walk on a cold day, transitioning from green to earthy and woody notes. It’s elegant, sophisticated, and serious, radiating power. This isn’t for young guys; it’s for men aged 30 to 40 who are in charge. It pairs ideally with a suit thanks to its crisp, clean freshness. Unlike others, I don’t find it sexy or sensual for dates; it’s too somber. Its best use is strictly professional—it’s the kind of fragrance Dr. Hannibal Lecter would wear in the series. Not really for summer or winter, but a great daily office scent. It has mature style and elegance. Scent: 8.0. Projection: moderate, about 3 hours. Longevity: 8 hours. Recommended.
