Afnan Comparison Guide: Turathi Electric or Supremacy Not Only Intense? (Office in KL)

Finding an office perfume in Kuala Lumpur is trickier than it looks. You need something that feels right in a freezing meeting room, doesn't fill the whole lift on the way up, and still works after you've walked through the midday heat. If you're browsing Afnan, two bottles keep coming up: Turathi Electric and Supremacy Not Only Intense. Both are listed for everyday and formal occasions, but they're built for quite different moods. Here's a proper look at each one so you can pick your office scent with confidence.

Turathi Electric: the fresh unisex option

Turathi Electric is a 90ml Eau de Parfum made for both men and women. It opens with bergamot and grapefruit — a bright, citrusy start that feels instantly refreshing when you spray it in Malaysia's heat. From there it moves into a heart of lavender and patchouli, and it finishes on a base of amber and musk.

• Top notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit
• Heart notes: Lavender, Patchouli
• Base notes: Amber, Musk

At a glance: unisex, EDP, 90ml.

The store lists it for casual days, formal settings, everyday wear and special occasions, so it slips easily into office life. Since it's unisex, it's also a practical choice if you and your partner like sharing a bottle. That fresh, energetic yet refined feel suits KL's hot, humid days far better than something heavy and thick, and it won't take over a shared workspace.

Supremacy Not Only Intense: the bold masculine one

Supremacy Not Only Intense plays a different game. It's a men's fragrance in Extrait de Parfum concentration, coming in a 100ml bottle, and it's made for guys who want a commanding presence. The opening brings black currant, bergamot and apple — so there's a fruity freshness at first — before the heart settles into lavender, patchouli and oakmoss. The base is where it turns intense, with saffron, musk and ambergris.

• Top notes: Black Currant, Bergamot, Apple
• Heart notes: Lavender, Patchouli, Oak Moss
• Base notes: Saffron, Musk, Ambergris

At a glance: for men, Extrait de Parfum, 100ml.

The store describes it as ideal for evening wear or moments when you want to stand out, though everyday, formal and casual occasions are all listed too. In an office setting, it makes sense if your workplace welcomes a richer, more noticeable scent — think presentation days, client meetings, or when you simply want your perfume to do the talking.

Turathi Electric or Supremacy Not Only Intense?

The two actually share some DNA: bergamot in the opening, plus lavender and patchouli in the heart. But that's where the overlap ends. Go for Turathi Electric if you want something fresh and citrusy, unisex, and easy to wear from Monday to Friday. Choose Supremacy Not Only Intense if you prefer a bolder, masculine scent with that darker saffron and ambergris base, and you don't mind the extra richness that comes with an extrait. Both bottles are generous sizes too, so you won't be restocking in a hurry.

One last thing for KL folks: between the humidity outside and the air-conditioning inside, lighter scents generally breathe easier during the daytime. That's not to say bold perfumes don't work here — they just shine in different moments, like evening events or big meeting days. Match the bottle to your week, not just to the reviews.
