Afnan Guide: Turathi Electric or Supremacy Not Only Intense? (Evening Wear in Penang)

Evening plans in Penang — dinner at a nice place, a wedding dinner, or a night out around George Town — usually call for a perfume that feels a bit more dressed up than your daily scent. If you've been looking at Afnan, two bottles from the brand keep coming up: Turathi Electric and Supremacy Not Only Intense. Both can work for evenings, but they're quite different once you look closer. Here's the breakdown.

Turathi Electric

Turathi Electric is a unisex Eau de Parfum in a 90ml bottle, made for both men and women — handy if you and your partner like sharing one bottle. It opens with bergamot and grapefruit, so the first impression is bright and citrusy, then it moves into a heart of lavender and patchouli. The base is where the warmth sits: amber and musk.

The store describes it as energetic yet refined, and that's a decent way to picture it — vibrant at the start, warmer as it settles. On the occasions list it covers casual, everyday, formal and special occasions, so it's flexible enough for office days and dinner plans alike. That lighter, citrusy opening also makes sense for Malaysia's heat and humidity, so you don't feel weighed down walking from the car into an air-conditioned mall in Penang.

Supremacy Not Only Intense

Supremacy Not Only Intense is the men's option here — an Extrait de Parfum in a 100ml bottle. It opens with black currant, bergamot and apple, so the start leans fruity rather than citrusy. The heart brings lavender, patchouli and oakmoss, and the base goes intense: saffron, musk and ambergris.

The store describes it as a bold masculine fragrance for men who want to stand out, and points to it as ideal for evening wear. If your nights involve functions where you want a commanding presence — dinner events, celebrations, nights out — this is the one built for that mood.

So which one for your evenings in Penang?

• Who's wearing it: Turathi Electric is unisex, so one bottle works for anyone. Supremacy Not Only Intense is a men's fragrance.
• The opening: Turathi Electric goes bright with bergamot and grapefruit; Supremacy Not Only Intense leans fruity with black currant and apple.
• The base: Turathi Electric finishes on warm amber and musk, while Supremacy Not Only Intense sits on saffron, musk and ambergris.
• Format: Turathi Electric is a 90ml EDP, and Supremacy Not Only Intense is a 100ml Extrait.
• Flexibility: both list casual, everyday, formal and special occasions, but Supremacy Not Only Intense clearly leans towards evenings, while Turathi Electric doubles as a daytime option in hot weather.

The simplest way to decide: if you want one bottle that works day and night and suits anyone in the house, Turathi Electric is the easier pick. If your focus is evenings and you want something bold and masculine, Supremacy Not Only Intense is the one made for that.
