While I agree to some extent with the two reviews below and the appraisal of the brand as a whole, I can't help but be slightly more optimistic about Supernova. Honestly I don't know what's up with me lately, where has that gnarled, cynical me gone? If Supernovas are distant events we can observe but don't have a great deal of impact on us then, it's quite a fitting name. Sure this perfume is of little consequence and laughably so if you look at the original retail price, but if you get it for a steal in TK MAXX (£20 which I did) then in context it's a very bright, citrus fragrance and something my collection lacks. The opening to me is a very green affair, shades of Goutal's Ninfeo mio, a galbanum like almost fig leaf vibe, obviously with a ton of bitter lemon and grapefruit. When this settles though there is a clean slightly soapy note of cardamom & thicker touch of woods at the back and more of the kaffir lime/petitgrain that is promised in the notes which is actually very pleasant indeed. Now before that happens It does smell a bit like some cheap lemony, cleaning product but genuinely that association goes quite quickly. Which brings me to performance because it all goes quite quickly if I'm honest, still not without merit and when some comes around I will happily cake myself in it.
