Afnan 9 PM Eau de Parfum - Luxury Men's Signature Fragrance
Afnan 9 PM For Men is a popular Amber Vanilla fragrance launched in 2020.1 It has gained significant fame in the fragrance community as a high-performing and budget-friendly alternative to the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male.2
Designed primarily for evening wear, it is widely considered a "clubbing" or "date night" powerhouse due to its loud projection and seductive sweetness.3
The Scent Profile
The fragrance is characterized by a "bubblegum" sweetness balanced with a warm, spicy undertone.4

Top Notes: A crisp opening of Apple, Cinnamon, Wild Lavender, and Bergamot.5 The apple provides a juicy freshness, while the cinnamon adds immediate warmth.6

Heart Notes: It transitions into a floral heart of Orange Blossom and Lily-of-the-Valley (Muguet), which adds a clean, slightly soapy sophistication.7

Base Notes: The dry-down is rich and creamy, dominated by Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber, and Patchouli.8 This creates a long-lasting, cozy, and alluring trail.
Performance & Versatility

Longevity: Exceptional. Most users report 8 to 10+ hours of wear, with the scent often lingering on clothing until the next day.9
-
Sillage (Projection): Strong. It "commands attention" and is known for leaving a noticeable trail, making it ideal for outdoor events or crowded indoor spaces.10

Best For: Late autumn, winter, and cool spring nights.11 Its density can be overwhelming in high heat, though it can work on cool summer evenings if applied lightly.
Key Characteristics
| Feature | Description |
| Vibe | Youthful, bold, sweet, and confident. |
| Packaging | A heavy, sleek black rectangular bottle with a reflective spherical cap. |
| Comparison | Often cited as 90-95% similar to JPG Ultra Male, but slightly spicier (cinnamon) and more linear in its dry-down. |
Tip: Because of its high concentration and strong projection, 2–4 sprays are usually sufficient. Over-applying in small indoor spaces may make the sweetness feel cloying.
