Performance Metrics
26 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
The available performance votes are few, but they lean strong. Several voters rated longevity extremely high, and sillage also trends toward strong or very noticeable. Treat that as a sign to start with a light application, especially because smoky woods, oud and incense can project heavily on some skin.

Super Nova opens green and herbal, with cannabis giving the aromatic side a more unusual edge. The heart turns warmer through tobacco, woods, resins and coffee, then dries down into smoky oud and incense. Overall, it reads as green, woody, smoky, ambered and balsamic rather than bright, sweet or airy.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe amber and balsamic facets give Super Nova warmth, while the green and cannabis accords keep the opening herbal and slightly raw. Woody, smoky, oud and incense tones carry the dry-down, with coffee and tobacco adding a darker roasted texture through the middle. The result is more shadowed and textured than clean or sparkling.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Super Nova by Autobiography Review”
Super Nova by Autobiography is built around contrast, but the contrast is rougher and darker than the usual fresh-to-woody designer structure. The opening brings green notes with cannabis, so the first impression should feel herbal, leafy and slightly provocative rather than clean in a shower-gel way. It has freshness, but not the polished citrus kind.
As it develops, the fragrance moves into its stronger identity. Woody notes sit beside tobacco, resins and coffee, giving Super Nova a warm, roasted and smoky middle. This is where it starts to feel more grown-up and more assertive. The tobacco and coffee suggest dryness and depth, while the resins add a sticky warmth around the edges.
The base is where the darker materials take over. Agarwood and incense push the scent into smoky wood territory, so the dry-down is likely to feel denser than the opening. If you enjoy oud-style warmth, incense smoke and tobacco textures, this is the part of the fragrance that will probably make the most sense. If those notes often become too heavy on your skin, Super Nova may feel demanding.
Although it is listed as unisex, the composition can read with a masculine edge because of the tobacco, coffee, oud and incense. That does not make it only for men. It simply means the fragrance will probably appeal most to wearers who like darker aromatic woods and do not need their scent to feel soft, sweet or conventionally fresh.
Performance feedback is limited, but the available votes point toward serious strength, with longevity and sillage both receiving high marks from several voters. That makes Super Nova a scent to apply carefully at first, especially indoors or in warm weather. It seems more natural for evenings, cooler seasons and situations where a smoky aromatic trail feels appropriate.
The main caution is the lack of detailed written review evidence. The note pyramid and accord profile are clear, but there is not enough community commentary to support big claims about compliments, exact dry-down behavior or close alternatives. On the evidence available, Super Nova is best treated as a sample-first fragrance for people who already know they enjoy cannabis greens, tobacco, coffee, oud and incense together.
