Which Should You Buy?
Supernova is a freshie that's causing a right ruckus. Critics call it a mere Aventus clone, but fans rave about its punchy citrus and solid performance. It's a divisive one, but those who love it, really love it for its bright, juicy, and energetic take on a familiar profile.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Supernova - a floral fragrance led by bright opening notes, with fruity depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent projection and citrus-fresh profile make it perfect for casual and sporty wear, where its energy can shine. For office or formal settings, a lighter hand is required, given its strong sillage, though it could work for a relaxed date night.
Seasons
The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its floral, fruity signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
