If you're in Sabah and you just want one perfume you can reach for every single day — the office, weekend outings, dinner with friends — Afnan has two bottles that keep coming up: Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense and Turathi Electric. Same brand, but they're built quite differently. One is a men's extrait with a fruity-spicy personality; the other is a unisex EDP with a fresh citrus opening. This guide walks you through both so you can pick the one that actually fits your days.
Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense: the bold men's one
This one is made for men, and Afnan doesn't pretend otherwise — the brand describes it as a bold masculine fragrance for modern men who want to stand out. It comes as an extrait de parfum in a 100ml bottle, which is a more concentrated format than a regular eau de parfum.
The notes break down like this:
- Top notes: black currant, bergamot, apple
- Heart notes: lavender, patchouli, oakmoss
- Base notes: saffron, musk, ambergris
So you get a fruity, fresh opening — that apple and black currant pairing with bergamot — before it moves into lavender and patchouli, and then a warm base of saffron, musk and ambergris. Afnan lists it for everyday wear, formal settings, casual days and special occasions. In other words, even though the character leans bold, the occasion list is genuinely flexible.
Turathi Electric: the fresh unisex one
Turathi Electric is a 90ml EDP and it's unisex — both men and women wear it. Afnan describes it as a woody citrus fragrance, and the note list backs that up:
- Top notes: bergamot, grapefruit
- Heart notes: lavender, patchouli
- Base notes: amber, musk
The store calls it energetic yet refined, and it's flagged as a good match for Malaysia's tropical weather — which matters when Sabah is hot and humid all year round. Think sticky afternoons, air-cond offices, weekend trips to the mall. Its occasion list covers casual, formal, everyday and special occasions too.
What they have in common
Here's something interesting: both perfumes carry lavender and patchouli in the heart, and both list everyday and formal wear among their occasions. So whichever bottle you land on, the core of the scent sits in similar territory. The real differences are the opening, the base and the format.
So which one should you pick?
Go with Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense if you want something strictly for men, with a fruitier opening and a spicier, warmer base thanks to the saffron and ambergris — all in the stronger extrait format. It's the pick when you want your fragrance to make more of a statement.
Go with Turathi Electric if you'd rather have a unisex option with a bright grapefruit-and-bergamot opening and a smoother amber-musk finish. It's also the natural choice if you and your partner want to share a bottle.
Both come in generous sizes — 100ml and 90ml — and both cover daily wear on paper, so this really comes down to style: masculine and bold, or fresh and shared. That's exactly why it's worth comparing the two properly before you decide.

Which one is better for daily wear in Sabah?

Can women wear either of these?
Turathi Electric is unisex, so it's made for both men and women. Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense is a men's fragrance, so it isn't marketed to women.
Extrait or EDP — what's the difference here?
