The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Supernova, launched by Aaron Terence Hughes in 2024, is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that showcases the brand's commitment to ethical practices and craftsmanship. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus blend of grapefruit, bergamot, mandarin orange, and pineapple, which contrasts with the marine notes that evoke the freshness of an open sea. This bright and zesty opening gives way to a warm, spicy heart with ginger and oakmoss, leading into a rich base of ambergris, patchouli, and white musk. The result is a fragrance that oscillates between brightness and warmth, creating a dynamic olfactory experience.

How to wear it

Apply Supernova to pulse points for a strong start that will evolve over time. The marine notes are particularly prominent in the first hour but give way to the warmer base notes as the day progresses. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that transitions from morning brightness to evening warmth.
