In the air they are hard to distinguish .. ofg is sweeter and more sugary .. this one is a little darker and I actually prefer the scent ..! But I'd say they're about 85% similar and you wouldn't need both..! 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. 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.
I can see from the note list that they worked to mimic Oud for greatness, that's no secret, even corrected their way a bit by adding sweet notes (probably from using a different type of Oud).
What Does Supremacy in Oud Smell Like
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.
In short it is Oud for Glory on steroids, which I totally dig. The price difference is significant (35€ Lataffa vs 49€ Afnan) but it's worth every "penny" considering the vast performance difference and equal scent quality. I've been seriously into men's fragrance since the 80's, when most men's cologne lasted 8 hours to 2 days on skin. No bull!..... And I'm so impressed with Supremacy in Oud that I can hardly put into words what it MEANS to me--having discovered it about a year ago. Let's just say that I rate all of my fragrances on a standard 100-point scale. BUT regardless how good a fragrance smells, I won't rate any fragrance over an "89" unless I can smell it on myself "easily and regularly" for at least 8 hours. And I've got dry skin to boot. So prior to SIO, the last time I actually wore a "90+" rated fragrance was in 1999 before they reformulated my Giorgio Red for Men! (And yes, I'm sure I've also gone nose-blind to numerous other fragrances since, that may have otherwise "made the grade"). 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. 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. Lattafa opens harsher and takes about an hour till it starts settling down to that gold it's known for. Afnan is smooth and pleasant as soon as it hits your skinI'm super happy I managed to get this one. Prior that I had Lattafa Oud for Glory which I did like but to me it felt very light and very soon it became just a light skin scent. That's why a sold Oud for Glory and was hoping for more in Supremacy in Oud. And oh boy I got what I wanted. Supremacy In Oud smells identical to Oud for Glory but it's much richer and stronger. I'm used to overspraying but with this one I'm totally good with 2-3 sprays. Don't spray anywhere close to your nose ... it's so potent! Compared to Lattafa Afnan's version isn't as light and fluffy airy, though it does some airy feel to it. Because of the slightly amped up sweetness it also isn't as dry as Lataffa or Initio. Just another hidden gem from Afnan. Third bottle from the brand in my collection and I still get surprised of the super high quality they deliver.
Great Deal
