Living in Sabah means dealing with heat and humidity pretty much all year, so picking a perfume for this weather takes a bit of thought. If you've been browsing Afnan, two bottles probably keep showing up: Turathi Electric and Supremacy Not Only Intense. Both list everyday, casual, formal and special occasions in their profiles, but they smell and feel quite different. Here's a simple comparison to help you pick.
Turathi Electric by Afnan
Turathi Electric is a unisex Eau de Parfum in a 90ml bottle, made for both men and women. It opens with bergamot and grapefruit, so the first impression is fresh and citrusy. From there it moves into a heart of lavender and patchouli, before settling into a base of amber and musk.
The store describes it as a woody citrus fragrance that feels energetic yet refined, and calls it perfect for Malaysia's tropical weather. That citrus opening is exactly the sort of thing people reach for when it's hot out — it reads light and clean whether you're heading to work or walking around town.
- Gender: Unisex
- Concentration: EDP
- Size: 90ml
- Top notes: Bergamot, grapefruit
- Heart notes: Lavender, patchouli
- Base notes: Amber, musk
Occasions listed for it include casual, special occasion, formal and everyday, so it's genuinely flexible for whatever your day looks like.
Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan
Supremacy Not Only Intense is the men's option here — an Extrait de Parfum in a 100ml bottle. The store describes it as a bold masculine fragrance for men who want to stand out. It opens with black currant, bergamot and apple, moves into a heart of lavender, patchouli and oakmoss, and finishes with saffron, musk and ambergris in the base.
- Gender: Men
- Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
- Size: 100ml
- Top notes: Black currant, bergamot, apple
- Heart notes: Lavender, patchouli, oakmoss
- Base notes: Saffron, musk, ambergris
Its occasion list covers everyday, formal, casual and special occasions too. Compared to Turathi Electric, the saffron and ambergris base gives it a warmer, richer feel rather than that bright citrus lift at the start.
So, which one should you go for?
Both share bergamot, lavender, patchouli and musk somewhere in the pyramid, so they're not worlds apart. The real differences come down to this:
- Get Turathi Electric if you want one unisex bottle you can share between the guys and the girls. The bergamot and grapefruit opening feels right for hot days in Sabah, and the store itself recommends it for Malaysia's tropical weather.
- Get Supremacy Not Only Intense if you're after something more masculine and bolder, with that saffron, musk and ambergris base, plus the bigger 100ml extrait format.
If you spend most of your day in an air-conditioned office or mall, either works, since everyday and formal occasions are listed for both. If you're often outdoors in the heat, the fresh citrus start of Turathi Electric is the more natural match.
