Fresh and citrus: a bright place to start

If you like a clean, airy opening, Supremacy In Heaven is the easiest entry. Its top layer pairs bergamot with mandarin, so the first impression is sharp, sunny citrus peel.

In the heart, green tea adds a soft, slightly leafy freshness, while blackcurrant brings a tart, fruity edge. The base settles into musk, sandalwood and wood, which gives the citrus a smooth, woody floor. It sits in the Fresh and citrus family and reads as easygoing and light.

Woody and green: herbs, wood and a sweet surprise

Lynked Freedom opens with bergamot, grapefruit and sage, a mix of bitter citrus and dry herbs. The heart turns aromatic with lavender, cardamom and juniper berry: lavender is clean and herbal, cardamom cool and spicy, and juniper adds a crisp, gin-like freshness.

What sets this scent apart is the base, where vetiver meets caramel. Vetiver is earthy and rooty, caramel is buttery and sweet, and together they round off the freshness above.

Ornament Pour Homme belongs to the same Woody and green family but feels more classic. apple, lavandin and geranium open it, sandalwood, patchouli and amber fill the heart, and cedarwood, musk and oakmoss form the closing layer.

Spicy and aromatic: pepper, saffron and warmth

Modest Une starts with Calabrian bergamot, pepper and lavender, so you get citrus and spice at once. Pink pepper, geranium and elemi in the heart keep it lively and slightly resinous, while ambroxan, vetiver and patchouli give the base a dry, woody warmth.

Mirsaal of Trust takes a softer route through the Spicy and aromatic family. Vetiver and ambrofix open it, then saffron and raspberry meet in the heart: saffron is leathery and honeyed, raspberry juicy and bright. Amber, carnation and cashmeran form the base, with cashmeran adding a soft, musky woodiness.

Fruity and floral: the juicy side of Supremacy

Supremacy Silver puts apple, bergamot and oakmoss on top, then pineapple, patchouli and jasmine in the heart. Pineapple brings a sweet, tropical juiciness, and birch in the base, beside musk and ambergris, adds a smoky, leathery touch.

Its sister Supremacy Collectors Edition shares the pineapple, apple and bergamot, but adds white flowers to the opening and orange blossom to the heart. That shift moves it into the Floral family, with oak moss, musk and ambergris in the base.

Amber and leather: the darkest of the group

Supremacy Noir opens with bergamot, oregano and pepper, an unusual herbal and peppery start. The heart is resinous and warm, built from amber, labdanum and opoponax.

The base brings leather, sandalwood, patchouli and oud, so this scent ends deep and smoky. It sits in the Amber, oud and incense family and suits cooler evenings.
