The FragDNA review
A sweeter, fruitier Aventus — loved by some, doubted by others
FragDNA editors · the consensus of 3 reviewers and wearer threads · 21 October 2026
- Opening
- Blackcurrant, bergamot and apple: fruitier than Aventus, without the pineapple bite.
- Dry-down
- Smoky and earthy — this is where the Aventus resemblance comes through.
- Longevity
- A real strength — extrait concentration and long wear.
- Projection
- Strong.
- Best for
- People who like the smoky Aventus dry-down and a sweeter start.
Few dupes split opinion like this one. Some wearers call it their favourite Aventus alternative — fruitier, smokier, and in one owner's words almost a one-to-one match for the old smoky batches. Others say it has little to do with Creed at all.
The disagreement makes sense once you look at what it is doing. The blackcurrant-led opening is its own; the smoky, earthy dry-down is where the Aventus DNA shows. If you judge it on the first hour, you may be unconvinced. If you judge it on the evening, you may be won over.
Its performance is the one thing nearly everyone praises.
The verdictAbout 60% of Aventus — a sweeter, smokier interpretation rather than a clone. Try a sample before you commit.

FragDNA score · on paper
On paper
Worth a try. That is where Supremacy Not Only Intense lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aventus.
Afnan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aventus's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Afnan publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: pineapple, bergamot and apple up top, birch, patchouli and rose in the middle, oakmoss, musk and ambergris underneath — the shape of Creed Aventus.
