Afnan: Supremacy Not Only Intense vs Turathi Electric

If you work anywhere in Selangor — Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, Klang, wherever — you know the drill: hot commute, humid afternoon, then a freezing air-conditioned office. Your perfume has to behave through all of it. Today we're comparing two Afnan options for office wear: Supremacy Not Only Intense and Turathi Electric. Both are listed for formal and everyday occasions, but they take two different approaches.

Supremacy Not Only Intense — the bold one

Supremacy Not Only Intense is a men's Extrait de Parfum in a 100ml bottle, and it's the richer of the two. It opens with black currant, bergamot and apple, moves into a heart of lavender, patchouli and oak moss, then settles into saffron, musk and ambergris at the base.

Since Extrait is the most concentrated perfume format, this one is built for presence. The occasion list covers everyday, formal, casual and special occasions, so it can absolutely work for the office — just know it leans more towards evenings or days when you want to stand out a bit. If your week has client meetings, presentations or a dinner straight after work, this is the one that fits those moments.

Turathi Electric — the fresh, shareable one

Turathi Electric is a unisex Eau de Parfum in 90ml, built as a woody citrus. You get bergamot and grapefruit up top, lavender and patchouli in the heart, and amber and musk at the base. That citrus opening is exactly the kind of scent that feels right in Malaysia's heat and humidity — fresh enough for the drive to work, still put-together once you're at your desk.

Because it's unisex, this is also the bottle you can share with a partner or a sibling. It's listed for casual, formal, everyday and special occasions, so it slots into office days and weekends without any adjustment.

So which one for the office in Selangor?

On paper, you can't go wrong — both perfumes list formal and everyday among their occasions. The difference is the mood:

Pick Turathi Electric if you want something fresh and citrusy that sits comfortably in hot, humid weather, and you like the flexibility of a unisex EDP.
Pick Supremacy Not Only Intense if you prefer a fruitier, richer opening with a saffron and musk base, and you want a men's extrait for days when a stronger impression matters.

Here's something interesting from the notes: both share lavender and patchouli in the heart, so they're cousins in that middle stage. The real split happens at the opening — apple and black currant versus bergamot and grapefruit — and at the base, where saffron and ambergris meet amber and musk. If you can test both at a counter before ordering, those opening minutes alone will tell you which camp you're in.

One last practical note: both come in generous sizes, 100ml and 90ml, so whichever you choose will sit on your desk or dresser for a good while. Match it to your week, not just the bottle design.
