I love this cologne. I wouldn't even call it an Aventus clone. There are some similarities, and the difference isn't in what NOI lacks, but in what it adds to the equation. NOI is an absolute beast. It's scent transformation plays like a well written and recorded musical album, with a distinct beginning, middle, and end that combined tells a story that you want to listen to over and over. I can't stop smelling myself.
Love this juice. I echo your comment that this is better than Aventus. I’ve had my bottle for over a year and am nearly out. That’s how much I enjoy wearing it. The compliment factor is ridiculously high as well. Can’t go wrong with “Not Only Intense.”
I wore this one yesterday. Price, presentation, scent, performance…this thing is fantastic. Definitely a fruity Hacivat but it’s just so good. I got a few compliments last night at the speedway track. The deep deep dry down is epic and gorgeous.
@@hxhxhxhchchxhxhxhc7304 never tried La’venture but Afnan supremacy is thicker and heavier overall so that will project a bit more I’d say. That’s just on me tho. Hacivat is little more mossy and musky but still projects too. CDNIM limited Parfum sits closer to the skin on me
@@hxhxhxhchchxhxhxhc7304 Afnan not only intense. It’s thicker, darker, and projects pretty heavy. Black currant and oak moss bomb as Ross likes to put it
For my Afnan fragrances, I own Afnan Supremacy Incense and Rare Carbon. Both are beautifully done fragrances with great personality and beastly longevity.
I would like to know which Afnan supremacy not only intense is better between 100ml bottle Eau de perfume 3.4 Oz and 150ml bottle Extrait de perfume 5 Oz
I need more Afnan reviews. 9pm has been my go to for a year now, and everyone loves it. I love it, it’s a nuclear beast, I get compliments 1-2 times everytime I wear it. Women love it. I spray it on, come home, and can still smell it in my bathroom. I am about to buy this one. Hope it’s the same quality.
I don’t typically blind buy fragrances, but your review of this got my attention, because I absolutely love intense man, limited edition. I actually think it’s better than Creed Aventis itself especially in terms of performance and projection. Can’t wait to get this in. Thanks for the post.
Just got this in today! Smells expensive. Very high quality oils used here… I think it’s more different than the same as CDIM Limited….. great fragrance. Thanks for the review brother!
The Aventus DNA/style fragrances in my collection are my most reached for and most complimented. Now, obviously there is a correlation but I definitely prefer this scent space over my blue frags. I just don't get the "wow" reactions from any blues quite like I do from the Aventus like scents. At the end of day, I'm old and bold enough to know what I like and will wear what suits my mood on any given day. However, when I want the compliment factor and to wear a sure fire crowd pleaser I will 9/10 times reach for the citrus, musky and woodsy scents that men and women alike seem to love 😍
For those who are looking at picking up this fragrance, Joma Shop has it for $39.99 I’ve always had multiple bottles of Supremacy Silver over the years, it’s a really great fragrance as well. I highly recommend both of these to anyone looking for an affordable option to smell like the higher end Creed fragrance.
I first got this a couple years ago based on another reviewer that heralded it. It was about 35 bucks back then. I just looked, on Fragbuy, its 55. Still a pretty good deal for this. I ordered a b/u bottle. I noticed whenever you, Gents Scents, and a few other popular frag reviewers do a fragrance, it sells out soon after, everywhere.
@@TLTGReviews my time line must be off. I first saw it on Best Brands Perfume as an "Aventus cheap alternative". It was quite a while ago. I bought it off his site.
Not Only Intense is amazing for its price, I payed 40 buck's for it.. And the quality is just outstanding.. Same goes for the presentation! Glad you love it on first sniff haha 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Ross put afnan turathi blue on your list of fragrances to check out from this house . It’s suppose to be a clone of bvlgari tygar . Stay blessed king
I've had 5 bottles off this already, and don't plan on stopping. Plus I also have 3 other Afnan fragrances that are absolutely bangers as well. Supremacy in heaven, Supremacy in oud, rare carbon. 🔥 supremacy NOI is my most complimented fragrance ever. Seriously. I go nose blind, and then 6hrs later someone will say you smell really good...? I can't even smell it , but others can. And I never tell anyone what it is.
Hey my friend! I'd definitely enjoy a comparison between this and CDNIM Limited Edition. Mainly because I've considered buying both of those fragrances. Great first impression on that Afnan, btw. Gorgeous presentation on this one too! I'm hyped on this for sure! One other middle eastern fragrance that you NEED is Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense! Trust me on this one bro!
The Supremacy not only intense or Al Haramain L'aventure 🤔???? I want strong, less spicy more fruits and of course the woods with the good sweetness 😋... I'm assuming Al Haramain L'aventure is what I'm looking for, but is Supremacy not only intense better, even though it's not as fruity as the other one.... or is this something I probably just have to buy one of each and decide😂
I've had my bottle of this for about 6 months, have given it a couple of wears and it's a really impressive scent. I've never had Adventus...just could justify spending the money when there are so many others fragrances that give the same vibe at a much more reasonable price but I don't knock anyone who feels it's worth owning. Another from the house of Afnan that you might want to get your nose on Ross is Afnan Rare Carbon which is said to be a clone of Tom Fords Ombre Leather. Again I've never own Ombre Leather but I can say that Rare Carbon is a super nice leather scent...smells more like a smooth suede than a rough leather but really worth owning and great for fall/winter and can be dressed up or down and the price makes it a absolute steal.
My Supremacy NOI has just arrived this morning. I've owned CDNIM EDT, and also got a chance to test NOI at a frag shop. It's more fruity, and slightly less smoky than CDNIM (probably due to the no birch note in NOI)... but its near identical to it. Think of it like the EDT, but with amped up projection, sillage and performance. 2 sprays of NOI and it is nuclear. The blend is smooth from start to finish, and the blackcurrant gives it a rich, tart depth in the opening. The mixture of blackcurrant and apple gives it that pineapple vibe. Was worried about how well performance would be, after reading comments about reformulations, but so far, NOI is a beast. I find Afnan fragrances tend to only get better with maceration (my 9pm became a lot better after a couple months), so I can imagine NOI will do so too. Absolutely delighted with my purchase and I will probably get Supremacy Silver for layering and to save this glorious juice!
yo mah baw....not sure where you at , I see you sporting that Saints cap a lot.. im here near Lafayette, LA. I just got my order of Morreale Heritage for men... im impressed. have you put your nose on that one???
Have you tried Afnan's Patchouli on fire i know i may be a little off the subject but since were talking about the house of Afnan i just wanted to know if you have tried that fragrance...its great..that would be awesome if you coud do a review on that one Thanks Ross...Have a great day..i will be looking for that review..lol
I was wanting you to discover it so I was so glad you had it ordered.I am such a fan of that Supremacy not only intense.It will forever be my favorite scent of all time.I get ladies from 20-70 to compliment and ask what it is to be able to buy their own.Longevity 18+ hrs.Yes do a comparison.9 is the score to me too my friend.Have a great day buddy?
I actually just ordered this today. Got it for $40 shipped. It can be had for under $50 if you shop around. It is an extrait and has way better packaging than the silver. I thought I got it for a steal. Glad to hear you like it, I can't wait to get it in the mail!
Glad to see you finally pull the trigger. Aventus clone or not, it's very strong, great smelling with awesome performance. You said it, it's better than CDNIM limited edition so that says a lot. You do have a lot of experience so we need to trust your nose 😁. Gread video ! Many thanks !
I get that oud dry down as opposed to CDNIM parfum, which doesn't have that earthy dry down. Do you get it? Does your bottle say Eau de Parfum as well? My box and bottle sticker contradict.
Idk if they reformulated since this video, but my(brand new) bottle smells like you sprayed 1 spray of aventus, then sprayed hacivat on top of that, but then I also here and there catch a note that doesn't remind me of either at all. Granted, this is after only one day of wear. I like it a lot though.
Supremacy noir is close to Bottega v........Supremacy incense is the blue beast from amouge....In oud is outstanding,very masculine and not for the weak,only the strong can pull it off. Get afnan rare carbon. Interested in your thoughts brother. Also look into Rasasi churra..👍🏻 If Dracula was walking the earth today he would wear Rasasi churra!!!
Tnx for the video. I am looking for a pineapply(not-harsh) Aventus clone. I HATE LEMON. Which one do you recommend? Afnan sup, Afnan NOI, Armaf pure parfum or EDP?
Curious on a further review. Fragnatica comments say it dries down to a sweet and cloying scent for some thats like fruit cocktail. Wondering if dry down is similar to al haramain amber oud gold
Brother this beast is growing on me more and more. Its been my scent of the for 4 straight days. Found the sweet spot with sprays. . Now. Even pulled two compliments today. I think she just wanted a closer look at the guns lol No its good stuff thanks again.
I am so glad I found your channel. I like how you review scents. I ordered this yesterday based on your review. I had already ordered Armaf club intense Edt and either have a weak batch or does not do well on my skin love the fragrance but no longevity or projection on me. So crossing my fingers on this fragrance.
You just convinced me to pick it up and found it for a damn good price! Been on the fence with this one but you have helped me commit to buying it. I got Afnan supremacy intense and that one is suppose to smell like Amouage Interlude man and if that’s what that Amouage smells like then it pure trash. Afnan 9pm is just fanfucktasic so I have hope cause of you now.
That “ WOW” you said is the same WOW i said 😅 when first smelt it. I bought another back up botttle this 💎 Gem I bought the CDNIM LE and EDP 200ml and I think its a different scrnt profile. Thank you for informative review 😊
Hi Ross, I got both Afnan Supremacy silver and the Not only intense . My opinion Not only intense is on another level,. much darker thicker scent, I love it bro
I am a CA lover but I could say about this NOI is Not friendly scent or blind buy at all.. It smells quite bitter and dark.. Quite difficult to wear in a hot or high humidity weather..
Afnan is tier 9 for quality armaf is tier 7 for quality both great fragrance houses but Afnan is just tiers above armaf not only in bottle and packaging quality but it the oils used also
Please get Supremacy noir! Your hunch is correct its in my top 5 fragrances from afnan and I've tried all their fragrances. Also try supremacy in heaven. Best quality creed silver mountain water clone. Supremacy in oud is a no brainer as well
Hear the Supremacy in Heaven and Club De Nuit sillage are clones of Creed silver mountain water. But Supremacy range is supposed to be a cut above club De nuit. As you say double the price though
Sounds about right! My bottle of Supremacy Silver went from lasting 5 hours on skin to only lasting an hour tops on skin within a month. I thought this fragrance gets better/improves with time!?!. Mines definitely didn't. 😡
Have both the Afnan and Armaf. Both are great but the Afnan wins way more often when I need to scratch the Aventus itch . I have a bottle of Creed Aventus but rarely wear it . Also have several other “inspired by “ frags that get more wear than the original . Guess I just prefer the profiles of the inspired by scents more than the original.
Yeah I'd like for to compare the two between Armaf Club de Nuit man Limited Edition and Afnan not only intense cuz I just pulled the trigger on the Limited Edition when you reviewed it...and don't kno if I should pull the trigger on this.
Hi, I own this (my cap was wonky aswell) & CDNIM limited edition parfum & even though I appear to go a bit nose blind about 2-3hrs in on the Afnan, it then returns with a gorgeous long dry down (better on clothes) it does outlast the CDNIM limited edition with same number of sprays although the opening is stronger on the latter, which I can also smell throughout its duration - if that makes sense! Can't make my mind up which I prefer as they're both lush & tend to switch between them depending on the occasion but I do think the Afnan has better longevity & CDNIM I find a bit stronger - each nose is different I know.
I had it last year and I didn't get the performance I was expecting knowing it was an extrait de parfum. And I paid 70 something dollars too, for a clone! So it was a bummer but I found it for 44 dollars full without the box, so I bought one. I am hoping that it's better now since it has macerated since last year.
Received this to day like you I sprayed this on my arm the first thing I thought of was club de nuit eau de Parfum so if you have this you will not need both
My bottle was moderate when I first received and used it. It lasted a respectable 5 hours on my skin and projected up to 2 hours. After a month use of Supremacy Silver, I have not noticed that the scent is extremely light and only last up to 2 hours tops with no projection. I thought this scent gets better over time!?! I thought about buying another bottle from a different vendor and see what happens. I don't think I will though. I have plenty of other Creed Aventus DNA clones to lean on. 😂
Definitely hit the nail with saying that it's black current, and a saffron/leather. I have a bigger decant, not the actual bottle. I've read (a lot actually) that it "mascerates in reverse", losing both potency and smell, slowly morphing to a strange chemical leather. Only had mine for a week or so. Interested to see.
I have heard of this "reverse maceration" with this frag. What I can tell you is I have had this for about 6 months. Upon initial wear after purchase, I was getting 7-8 hours of wear. I let it sit for more than 5 months. I just recently tried it again. Now (this is not exaggeration) I am getting 18 hours easy of use. And that is crazy on me because I have super dry skin. I hope it stays with this performance and not go in the other direction.
afnan Supremacy didn't last long for me it seemed like it would be gone within a couple hours I ended up giving it to my son I would like to try out this version
