Supremacy is Afnan's flagship name and the two bottles we carry differ in something most flanker pairs do not: concentration. Collector's Edition is an eau de parfum; Not Only Intense is an extrait de parfum, which means a higher proportion of fragrance oil and, usually, a heavier and longer-sitting result. They also have different pyramids. This guide compares them with what is recorded against each bottle.
Supremacy Collector's Edition — Eau de Parfum 100 ml
Profile: pineapple, bergamot, apple and white floral notes over orange blossom, birch and amber, on oak moss, musk and ambergris. Fruity and woody. Presented for men.
Verdict: the fresher and more versatile of the two. Our record files it for mornings, brunch, date nights, evenings and parties, which is about as broad as an occasion list gets — a fruity opening, birch and amber in the middle for dryness, and a mossy-musky base.

Collector's Edition also appears in the pineapple and birch section of our guide to Arabian perfumes by scent profile.
Supremacy Not Only Intense — Extrait de Parfum 100 ml
Profile: bergamot, apple and black currant over lavender, patchouli and oak moss, on saffron, musk and ambergris. Amber Spicy. Presented for men, for evenings.
Verdict: the darker and more concentrated of the two. The pineapple is gone, black currant and lavender take the composition somewhere drier and more aromatic, and saffron appears in the base where the Collector's Edition has moss. It is an extrait de parfum rather than an eau de parfum, and it is the more expensive bottle. Filed for evenings only. Currently out of stock. Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense →
What the concentration difference actually means
Extrait de parfum carries a higher share of fragrance oil than eau de parfum. In practice that usually means a scent that sits closer to the skin, develops more slowly and lasts longer from fewer sprays. It is not a stronger version of the same fragrance, though — these two have different note pyramids, so Not Only Intense is a different composition that happens to also be more concentrated. We have no verified longevity figures on file for either bottle, so we are describing the concentration grade rather than promising hours.
Which Supremacy should you buy?
Bright, fruity, wearable from morning to a party: Collector's Edition. Drier, aromatic, saffron-backed and built for evenings: Not Only Intense. Both are 100 ml and both are presented for men. Bear in mind you are choosing a concentration as well as a direction — and that the extrait carries the higher price.
