What Is Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense a Dupe Of?

What is Supremacy Not Only Intense a clone of?

Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense is a clone of Nishane Hacivat. The connection is fruit, patchouli and oakmoss, with citrus running through the opening. If the fruity, mossy side of Hacivat is what you're after, this is an Afnan worth putting on your shortlist.

We rate the similarity at 93%. That rating belongs to Supremacy Not Only Intense against the original Hacivat Extrait de Parfum. Hacivat X and Hacivat Oud are separate fragrances, as are the other bottles in Afnan's Supremacy range.

How do the notes compare?

Supremacy Not Only Intense opens with bergamot, apple and black currant. Lavender, patchouli and oakmoss form the middle, with saffron, musk and ambergris underneath. That fruit-and-moss combination is a useful starting point for the comparison.

Hacivat names bergamot, pineapple and grapefruit up top, jasmine, patchouli and cedarwood in the middle, then clearwood, oakmoss and dry timberwood. Bergamot, patchouli and oakmoss are direct links. The fruit mixes differ, though, and Hacivat's list puts more emphasis on woods.

Why does Aventus come up too?

Supremacy Not Only Intense also gets compared with Creed Aventus. That wider fruity, woody connection makes sense, but Hacivat is the reference for this guide and for our 93% score.

If you're sampling it, we'd pay attention to the fruit first and the moss later. Look for how the apple and black currant sit against Hacivat's pineapple and grapefruit, then see which balance you prefer once the opening settles. Similarity and personal preference don't always land in the same place.

Is it worth trying?

We'd try it if you enjoy fruit with patchouli and a mossy backbone. Give a sample a full wear, especially if oakmoss is the part you love most in Hacivat. The listed notes help explain the connection, while time on your skin helps you decide whether the balance works for you.
