Maison Yusif Supernova — a fragrance with character
Maison Yusif Supernova is a unisex perfume released in 2024 in Extrait de Parfum concentration, created by the Ghanaian brand Maison Yusif.
This is a rich composition for those who enjoy expressive fragrances with a noticeable presence and a multifaceted development.
Its olfactory profile combines amber, spicy, fruity, and floral nuances.
The fragrance was created under the direction of perfumer Yusif Meizongo Jr., the brand's owner.
For Maison Yusif, a Ghanaian perfume house, Supernova is a striking example of an artistic approach in which fresh fruity-aquatic nuances meet a dense amber base.
How Supernova develops
Supernova opens brightly and dynamically: grape and the citrus nuances of mandarin and blood orange create a juicy, slightly sparkling impression.
A marine accord adds coolness to the composition, while mint makes the opening brighter and more transparent.
As it develops, the fragrance becomes warmer and spicier.
Sambac jasmine and rose soften the scent, bay leaf gives it a green, expressive quality, and spices create a striking transition to the rich base.
Sillage and wearability
Supernova is described as having very strong sillage, making it suited to a noticeable, confident presence.
The extrait feels highly concentrated: a few sprays may be enough for the composition to unfold on the skin and retain its expressive character throughout the day.
Specific application recommendations for skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
It is more practical to start with a small amount, assess how it develops on your skin, and add more to pulse points or fabric if needed.
Supernova has a gender-neutral positioning, but its character will particularly appeal to fans of rich, spicy amber compositions with fruity freshness at the opening.
Thanks to its powerful sillage, the fragrance is best used sparingly: it can become an expressive detail of an evening look, a cool-season wardrobe, or a special occasion.
Similar fragrances
For a fragrance with a similar mood, consider Paco Rabanne 1 Million.
Other possible points of comparison include Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute. However, Supernova stands out with its combination of a grape-and-citrus opening, marine freshness, and an amber-woody base.
